Make sure you have a LOT of clearance under your roof racks or keep looking
Ok. they are affordable. BUT<br />One of the hardware packs was missing 1/2 the washers. I could let that go for the price. (What's a few washers cost?)<br />However, installation is a pain. The bottom bracket is too narrow (small radius) to mate nicely with my 4runner's stock roof rack. (Yes. they match the dimensions that the product calls out). It works but not cleanly. It would mate better if the bottom radius was the same as the top bracket radius. The REAL negative is that the 2 bolts that tighten the brackets to the roof rack are so long that there is not enough room between the room and the bolt to to install. Well, you CAN if you back the bolt out of the frame but then you have to monkey with trying to get the carriage head into the frame again, with the stuff on the end but you can turn the bolt...I'm not doing it justice as to the difficultly. I installed just the tightening nut (the nut embedded in a knob) and I could get it pretty tight, but after a short trip, they were getting loose as expected. Even if I could get every thing on, there is essentially no room for my hand to turn the tightening knobs. This is compounded by the other 4 bolts used to put the frames together being longer than necessary (~10mm extra sticking out below the nuts). It isn't like a 4 runner is a tiny vehicle and the roof racks are cosmetic. The straps are okay. I can see where others have had issues with them letting loose. I can make racks work with some modifications, but that's my time and money. Save yours and keep on shopping.
