Nashfabco Roof Rack
Anyone have this GX460 roof rack and/or know of someone who as installed it (and any opinions on it)? They advertise as a one-man install too.
"Unlike other roof racks on the market, NashFab roof racks were designed for an easy one-man install! Our racks do not require complete assembly prior to installation and no additional help is needed to install on your vehicle! Side rails easily slide on and mount to roof brackets. Crossbars are then dropped in and can slide forward or backward to your desired mounting location."

While this roof rack may be "stylin" and functional given the low profile ... the roof (paint) has close to ZERO accessibility for cleaning ... yes the roof can be sprayed with a power washer wand ... but the reality is that dirt and sediment will layer over time that does need to be regularly washed away via scrubbing with at least a wash mitt. Just saying based on experience.
Complete removal every year and doing the Clay/Wax thing will mitigate ... but is that something most will do in terms of commitment ? Probably not.
To your question ... yes, my friend has one on their 2021 4-Runner ... very high quality ...

@ASE Thank you for the response and your thoughts. I saw the low gap margins on the manufacturer’s web site and had similar thoughts. I have XPEL PPF on my roof so that may help mitigate the issue - still have to remove the rack periodically for cleaning.
Not too sure there are many other “one-person” mounting/dismounting options out there - LFD and this one. Others?
