Big Country 4×4 is the brand that outfitters, tour guides, rental companies and true off-roaders all over South Africa trust when outfitting their vehicles with quality gear that will take a beating.
And when it comes to fitting a roof rack, hands down it’s the brand they have to have. No question.
Big Country 4×4 has spent more than a year developing, testing and refining the strongest rack available for the 5th Gen 4Runner owner. Introducing the Big Country 4×4 5thGen 4Runner roof rack. All welded. All aluminum. All custom extrusions.
550lbs Dynamic load rating (drilled front feet version)
360lbs Dynamic load rating (no-drill version)
Big Country 4×4 racks are welded from purpose-made aluminum extrusions (no 8020 here) with M8 T-slots that accept standard bolts (we don’t like proprietary hardware either…). It even mounts with the Big Country 4×4 4Runner Rack Delete Kit which seals the roof, allowing the rack to be removed without leaving holes for cleaning or off-season removal.
- 65lbs
- 87″ x 49″ x 2″
- Constructed in a sturdy latticework with dove-tailed and welded joints
- Powder-coated black
- Fully welded
- No-edge flat lip design for easy loading of items that overhang the rack
- 1/4″ thick cast aluminum welded-in corner sections
- M8 tracks along top and bottom of perimeter rails
- M8 tracks on each floor plank and load bar
- Bolted to OEM holes middle & rear
- Front feet are bolted to a heavy duty 1/4″ steel stud plate with M8 hardware inside the ceiling (550 lbs version) or bolted to glued-down no-drill brackets for a de-rated full length rack
Fitment is achieved via a specially made foot assembly mounted to existing threaded holes on the roof – no drilling and no chance of leaks. These assemblies will require 2 x 9mm holes drilled for each front foot or affixed with HD mounting tape for the de-rated no-drill option.
The roof rack is easily removable when not is use.
NOTE: Proper installation for full rating requires drilling and partial dropping of headliner to allow access for inserting the 3″ x 3/4″ x 1/4″ threaded stud plate under the ceiling. Using an installer familiar with Toyota work is suggested for someone unfamiliar or uncomfortable with the vehicle-specific work involved. The “no-drill” option uses the same hardware on top but simply uses mounting tape instead of 2 x M8 bolts.
