Remove Cross Bars on 6th Gen -- How-to? Issues?

Just unbolt ? Any issues here ?

Thanks

If I remember from the videos I've watched on installing a full length rack, I think you have to slide the cross bars out the end of the rails. So you have to pop the plastic caps for the main rail mounts, unbolt the mounts completely on one end, and loosen on the other, and slide the cross bars out the open end. Then reverse the process to re-assemble with just the rails. But I may misremember the video I saw.

Are you removing them due to looks, functionality, or noise? My incoming 4Runner has the PIO Crossbar option and I could not have them delete/remove.

Not concerned about looks, just do not need them. May just sell. If I was a camper, etc., good option. Best option on this 4R is the tow pkg.
