Eezi-Awn K9 Roof Rack Kit For Toyota 4Runner 5th Gen

If you're after a slim, slick, reliable and easy to install roof rack for your Toyota 4Runner 5th Gen, then the K9 rack kit by Eezi-Awn can easily be your best fit.

This excellent South-African made rack has 5 different lengths and 2 different heights, ideal to adapt to your needs, with an easy installation that requires no drilling.

 Sizes:

The K9 systems for the 5th Gen 4Runner come in 1250mm (49") width, and 5 different lengths, the most popular being the 2.2M (87") long rack that starts a few inches behind the windshield and finishes an inch in front of the rear hatch. It allows you to maximize the space on your roof.

If what you want is to maintain the sun roof, then the 1.6M (62") version is a great choice. It starts just behind the sunroof and finishes an inch in front of the rear hatch.

Heights:

The standard height rack measures 5" high, from above the second row doors, measured at the pinch weld trim.  It uses 65mm tall feet, and allows enough room for options on the bottom of the platform. 

The low version of the rack measures 4" high at the same point, and uses 40mm feet.  This sits much closer to the roof line, but can impede the use of some side mounted accessories.

Capacity:

As with all roof racks, the weight capacity of the K9 roof rack system is broken into two measurements: static weight and dynamic weight. 

Static is when the vehicle is stationary, not in motion.  Dynamic is when the vehicle is in motion. 

After running tests, it was determined that a dynamic capacity in the range of 500 pounds is possible.  That load included a Roof Top Tent, awning, dual fuel can holder, aluminum storage case with recovery gear, shovel, axe, under mount table, light bar, etc on a 2.2M long rack. 

A static capacity of 1000 pounds is possible.  An example of static load increase would be adding people in the tent on the roof.  Please understand these capacities are on vehicles that have modified suspensions designed to manage this amount of weight.  They are not a warrantied or guaranteed capacity.  Your load capacity will vary.

No Drilling Required:

The K9 Roof Rack System for the 5th Gen 4Runner requires no drilling at all for any size rack.  The proprietary mounting rail mounts right over the roof pinch weld trim and utilizes the OEM roof rack mounting points.

Rack Kit Includes:

The components used on the 5th Generation 4Runner rack systems include a pair of mounting rail, a set of K9 feet (2 per platform cross brace), and a platform.

Rack Accessories:

The Eezi-Awn K9 Roof Rack System comes with a complete array of bolt on accessories.  Jerry Can holders, Axe mounts, Shovel mounts, Hi-Lift Mounts, Max Trax Mounts, Awning Mounts, Under Rack Table mounts, and much more.  

Thule & Yakima Compatible:

The K9 Roof Rack is also the only overlanding rack on the market that is easily compatible with your existing Thule or Yakima sports bar mounts for bikes, kayaks, etc. With store-accessible 6mm hardware that attaches to the K9's perimeter, your hobbies won't become obsolete with your "old gear.
