2005 Toyota Land Cruiser Roof Racks & Cargo Carriers

So, overall I still think this is a good value for the money. But if you need something robust that fits well, you might want to look at alternatives. Installation is a breeze. The instructions and parts are pretty easy to put together, I think I got it all done in under an hour. You need a drill and a 1/8" bit, and a phillips hand screwdriver. Everything else is included. Fitment on my scion xb 2012 was weird because the roof tapers and has little channels in it. Basically, it's pretty hard to find a way to place it on the roof where the feet will fit flat. I ended up getting it done, but now the back cross rail doesn't sit all the way into the channel, it sort of slides side to side, so in theory it could slide all the way to one side and then it's not sitting inside the channel. I'll need to make some kind of shim to try to keep it in place, and hope it stays. So that's disappointing that their design allows for that to move into a not well supported position. You might not have the same problem with a different roof. The other iffy thing is the feet are just ABS plastic. When this thing's manual says the weight limit is 110lbs, I believe it. I was kind of hoping I could reinforce the bars to make it support more, but I highly doubt the feet could handle it. The whole thing is really light! So if you need to carry heavier loads, I'd suggest a different model. Aesthetically, it's perfect. It looks just like stock and makes the car look better than before. And I can't hear any wind noise (although the inside of this car is famously noisy).
