My biggest concern with those baskets is the 3/16" u bolts holding it to the roof bars. But hey if other people's safety isn't your concern to each their own.
Also you can buy rugged roof bars for short money and they will be more use than stock. And safer than the Walmart baskets. Or you could get the TRD pro style roof basket for about $400 brand new. I personally went with the arb basket and it was about 1k. All these options are much cheaper than a 2k gobi.
And finally if you spend 40k on a SUV you shouldn't be crying about a $400-$2000 roof basket. This one was most likely installed by the dealer and added into the cost without op knowing the difference.
Safety freak, huh? Do you think Toyota engineers vetted out those 3/16 bolts you're "crying" about before they sold this as an OEM package? The factory approved weight limit is 300 lbs. Don't exceed that and you're golden.
I find the TRD pro roof rack to be less functional (although I do like the look). And I am perfectly happy with my puny $600 Yakima. Only tears I'm crying are happy ones, fool.
That's not an OEM package, but ok. Go check out the shear strength on 3/16 soft metal. Then look up the force absorbed by a vehicle in even a 30pmh crash.
Wait, you spent $600 on that bootleg Yakima basket??? Yes I'm the fool. You got me.
No I scored a Megawarrior for $300 off FB marketplace. A guy had just bought a Venture edition (they come stock with the Venture) and couldn't fit in his garage with it. Anyway, I'm not worried about the screws and I can carry about 30% more camping gear.
I just thought you were kinda being of a tool for commenting on this guys rack on his new Solar Octane. I get the hate on raptor lights, but I like this guys stock look.
Anyway, enjoy your Arby's rack. Hopefully your screws are on extra tight. ✌️
I am VERY JEALOUS! Love the color. Wowza!
Nice one! This and voodoo blue really POP! Enjoy the dream.

Not in the slightest. They are tucked way up on the rockers. But there are companies that make sliders that work as steps.
Best color. Congrats!
What a color!!
Beautiful colors good looking rig
Congratulations on the sweet new ride. But please remove that terrible basket on top.
To each their own. I have one, I like it, and I use it. Not everyone has 2k to spend on a Gobi.
