Anybody have some recommendations for a good roof rack for a 98 Runner? I have no factory rack, just the plastic covers over where the rails would be. I like the KargoMaster, but don't particularly want to put holes in my roof just yet?

You could always go with a gutter mount Thule or Yakima. Check out their sites for more info. I have a factory rack and a Thule, and the Thule is way stronger.

 

I've been watching ebay for a good deal on a gutter mount Thule. I had a Thule on my Camry for my mountain bike it was strong enough to sit on

 

Washaki..where are you located?

I second the Yakima solution.

 

I ordered my Surco rack today, also ordered 2 light brackets, bout to order some PIAA's next..I will post some pics as soon as the rack comes in, gotta show yall my new 15x10 black street locks too!

 

I like my Wilderness Rack, better than the Surco's. While the aluminum is lighter weight (Surco), the Wilderness rack is steel and stout. I've had over 200lbs of gear in it. Great brackets and accessories, a little pricey though.

 

yep, I want a garvin wilderness rack but at the price they are I will have a winch first. hopefully it won't take too long to git boaf.

 

well i decided to go with hella 500's, can get 2 pairs at my cost for less than one pair of the piaa's at my cost, so I think i will be happy!

 

well you looking for ruff look you go with the safari but me i went with more classy with the urban rack. Nice combo with the bottom gray and fender gray my limited comes with

 

Go with the Surco rack...I got mine used from waskillywabbit and then I ordered a spare tire bracket and I'm gonna fab up some toolbox brackets in my welding class at school. I love the Surco!!
