Roof Rack - ARB Platform 3/4 Length [Confirmed: same as Trailhunter roof rack]

[Jetsareus]

I’m not sure if this has been posted or not.
I see the rack listed as PN PT989-89251 for $1,680. It states non-branded.

If you are a Costco member and purchase this at the dealership, it is $1,428. (-15%).

Perfect, thanks for the part number. chatGPT says it is ARB made. Hope the robot overlords are right.

Also the cutouts on the front look to be the same size as the fog lights...

It’s ARB. I had it removed as a PIO.

I ended up switching my reservation to a 4Runner that doesn't come with this roof rack. The rack wasn't the main reason for my decision, but it was a consideration that I'd be paying $1,710 for something I might replace. My biggest concern with this rack is that I believe it only has a 165 pound dynamic weight capacity (770 static). I'm sure there will be some good aftermarket options coming out later that are better for my planned use.

I hear ya. It’s expensive and there are a lot of great full roof aftermarket racks. Have you heard of Westcott Designs? Take a look at this one. I’m thinking about picking one up.

I hadn't seen this one. I don't see weight capacity listed, but I will try contacting them to find out. Thanks for the link.

Yup, looks like the trail hunter one.

Confirmed, the ARB 3/4 roof rack is the same one as on trailhunter.

Rellims, is this your rig? I want this rack and I have a moon roof on mine. This photo has the moon roof and am curious if there is any interference. Another thought is if the rack needs an additional hardware kit for installation.

 

[Rellims]

Yeah this is mine, has moon roof, no issues. It was PIO so unsure on install.

I really like the looks of this rack, and ARB makes some great gear, but that 165 lbs dynamic rating just kills it for me.

Congrats on getting your 4Runner! Nice color. I’ll post the rack install when I get mine.

The weight ratings are likely due to the stated ROOF capacity of the vehicle, not necessarily the rack. Be careful overloading your rigs!
