Naked or Roof Rails? (1 Viewer)

[breyenger]

Currently rocking a naked roof with some landing pads with Yakima lock n load bars (only mount them when needed).

I am thinking of throwing on OEM roof rails. Kind of feels like a bloated wagon without them.

Not sure. Something weird about the rear/3 qtr without them.

Let’s hear some opinions!

FWIW - Someone on here who deleted their rails reported 1 mpg increase.

A smooth roof is different, kinda like finding a poverty spec TLC here in the States.

Roof rails!

I like the naked roof look, in fact, I've got the parts in my garage to do it. If you don't use a rack, leave it naked.

Naked looks better but I like having something to grab onto when I’m washing the roof. Also the factory bars work great for my Thule attachments.

I went a little bit different route. Gamiviti feet and front runner load bars. Only regret is not getting longer load bars.

Nekkid, but kind of wish I had the higher rails like gaijin.

Oh interesting. Looks very similar to my set up when I have my bars on. You might want to look into the lock n load bars from Yakima they are very wide. They might even fit your feet.

Yeah, I can def tell a difference when I have my bars on and off. I figured the roof rails wouldn’t have that much effect tho! 1 mpg adds up.

I tried to go this route initially. Even bought the cross bars from alliexpress. Unfortunately they sent me the wrong ones. Looks good!

I happen to prefer the rack look on the 200. but i've often thought about no rack on my 100. Makes no sense I know.

If someone needs a complete 200 OEM roof rack PM me.

Just leaving the landing pads is silly.

Either go full naked like me, or go full roof rack like the Starbucks Bros

Naked looks better

On mistresses and on land cruisers.

@ryanCA likes his Land Cruisers just like his women... without a rack

Thanks. Hadn't thought of it that way, but will now! And my aim is waaaaaaaaay better than a stormtrooper.
