Toros Crossbars (1 Viewer)

Been looking for some crossbars that are sturdy and low profile. Been researching the LFD's but came across these Toros Crossbars? Anyone try these? Planning to use a Yakima Skybox for trips and overlanding.

Good find! They look like they sit higher than OEM 'aero' crossbars and therefore probably wouldn't contact the roof if flexing under heaving load. I like the T-slot channel for attachment of accessories. At that price why not pick up 2 sets and use 3-4 bars at a time to evenly distribute heavy loads?

Didn't think about getting two sets. Mmmmm. that's a great idea. I'm just concerned about the quality and build, was hoping someone had some experience with it. For now, I'm still leaning toward the LFDs

Just be careful just how high they are when you mount whatever you adding to them.
I purposely chose Gamiviti rack because it's very low profile and I knew that the iKamper RTT would really increase my height and limit some garages.

I contacted the site because some of their info was confusing. On the GX460 crossbars, they had listed for "raised" rails. If you go to the top of the categories and search under Lexus, you should now see it. Car Roof Rack Systems - https://pawauto.com/collections/roof-rack/brand_lexus

Well they can't spell Georgia correctly, pass! Support US manufacturing, and just go LFD. Those skyboxes can get heavy, and the last thing I would want to depend on at 75mph with crazy cross winds is an unknown manufacturer.

Yup, that's why posted, wanted to see if anyone had actually purchased these and used them.

Second going LFD or solid steel type rack. All of the 80/20 and OEM style racks have flex. When you are talking that low of a profile the bars will flex on the road and the feet will tap your roof paint raw or dent it if a hard enough gust hits. Just got a skybox 18 and highly recommend a solid mounting platform, the feet extend a bit down and just getting it on and off you'll need some form of clearance.
