Rhino Pioneer Rack for 100 series

[jonharis]

I'm going with one of the gamiviti racks after I do my 90k service
Gamiviti - roof racks

I like the gamiviti racks fit and finish and it supports a local 100 owner. But I don't like the spacing on the rack or the round cross bars.

I'd go Front Runner. I think it is a notch up the food chain when it comes to racks. I really wish we could still get the African Outback ones with the door for the sunroof. I think Loud might be running one.

The attachment points on the extrusions are one of the reasons why I'm sold on the front runner now.

Yeah, the frontrunner looks really cool.
I would love one with a big led bar across the top.

Just called, Sierra Expeditions stocks the hundy rack from frontrunner and free shipping until EOM.

I ended up getting the pioneer platform, foxwing awning and hi-lift/shovel combo all from Rhino Rack. I'm going to start a seperate thread once everything is installed.. I did get the platform mounted up and I'm very impressed with the mounting system, overall build quality and strength of the rack..

So CK, did you get rid of the plastic strip or cut it to get to the mounting points?

The black strip has a thin layer of metal and snaps into place. I unsnapped it just enough so I could cut it with a metal shear. I reused the bolts that I found under the metal strip and moved them to the forward holes to prevent leaks into the cabin. Finally I covered the holes with toyota plastic molding covers P/N 75557-60010.

Has anyone installed a 2.2m front runner rack on an 06 or 07 year model? Wondering how it fits with the 'whale tail'
