    Grinding down the bolt cap is something I tried. The problem is that the square profile of the carriage bolt is too wide for the profile/track in the extrusion. The square part of the bolt is too small to grind down - there's no way I can reasonably do that, especially given that I need 16 such...

    Hadn't thought of that. I would give it a shot, but finding metric hardware around here is damn tough. Looking for something as specific as a carriage bolt is pretty much pointless. I see options on Amazon, but they'll arrive between mid August and mid September. I'm too frustrated at this point...

    Yesterday I received my order of extruded aluminium from the Canadian manufacturer/retailer FazStore.ca. This is what I ordered: 10QE1020-BLACK - 1" x 2" BLACK Smooth T-Slotted Aluminum Extrusion - FazStore Note that it is described as: This is NOT so. The profile of these extrusions is...

    I just installed a LC200 rack on my '14 LX: Builds - eatSleepWoof's '14 LX I was expecting to have the same width between the rails as @tbisaacs's 42 7/8", but was surprised to find a considerable difference. At the very front of the rack, my cross bars should be 43 9/16". At the very rear of...

    I came across this option, which is also quite interesting: 2014-2019 5th Gen 4Runner Modular Factory Rail Support System The length of these cross bars is almost certainly not going to work for the 200-series, but the implementation is quite interesting, and with a lot of potential. Downsides...

    Has anyone put a RTT on the 80/20-modded rack? Is there enough room underneath the cross bars to fit the RTT mounts & protruding bolts? Seems like it's very tight. How about room to get your hand under the tent and secure the hardware?

    It's a dynamic weight rating (ie. in motion). Static capability is always much higher.

    1/4" carriage bolts fit nicely into the 8020 profiles. Don't overtighten though, as they will rip the profile and will become free spinning while being stuck, which makes them a pain to remove.
