Front runner rack

[KingexporterLC]

Hey everyone,

Anyone already started the process of buying or installing the front runner rack for the LC? I’m looking into this one myself and will share updates if I decide to buy.

I didn’t realize they had them yet! I have one on my 4Runner and love it. Can’t wait to order one for the LC when I get it

They don’t sit quite as high in real life as in the render. The modular track system is fantastic and really comes in handy

Got mine installed over the weekend and took it out for a quick spin. Haven’t tested it with gear on top yet, that’s coming next weekend. Seems strong as hell and I’m very happy with it so far. I was expecting some bad wind noise but it’s not too loud at all. Will need some more miles to get a feel for it, but overall I think it’s the best one out there for me.

Beautiful pictures. That rack looks much better than the renders on their web page.

Nice! Congrats. Looks great. I’m looking into grabbing one for mine soon.

Looks great! I like the long rack. What size tires? Lifted?

Have you had a chance to drive it at highway speeds with gear on top? Curious about wind noise without a fairing and with gear on top.

Thanks! No lift. 275/70/18s

Not yet. It has a small fairing that aims downward. I haven’t experimented with its location. It’s made up of two halves that run in the t channel underneath the rack.

looks amazing. just took delivery of the same color and going to shamelessly copy you exactly well done. I don't totally love the look of this roof rack but i dont want to wait for baja and the others to come out with theirs...anyway functionality is the main priority. I'm so stoked that toyota finally brought back a true sport UTILITY Land Cruiser instead of trying to make it like a range rover.

Thanks! I agree. The more time I spend with it the more I appreciate it. I thought I might miss some of the niceties of the higher trim models but the 1958 has everything I need. No regrets. Hoping to eventually explore a SDM upgrade down the road, as a nice-to-have.

If you have any questions on install shoot me a message. The front support brackets stamped L and R were stamped incorrect on mine. They need to point forward so L needs to be on the R (passenger side). Other than that the install was straightforward.

I think you’ll love the rig and the rack. We’ve been hitting a lot of rocky rough roads and the suspension is very good. Need to take it on Imogene soon to test it out a bit more.
