How to install TRD Pro Roof rack

I know this has been covered before. But, let me summarize the process to make it simple in one place to find.

If you are replacing your stock roof rack with a TRD Pro rack, you will need a few things.

4x 63185-0R010 (Brackets) ($4.00 each)

1x

$30 PT278-35130-HW Hardware Kit

PT278-35130-HW (Bolts and washers) ($15.00)

1x T40

1x Torque wrench

The bag of bolts and washers is an FJ part. But they are the same and you get 4 extra ones.

The 4 brackets go with the felt down and the long tab facing outside of the vehicle

Foam washer go attached to foot of mounting pads on rack.

Fiber washers go on bolts.

Torque to 13ft pounds. OR in my case, I did 144 inch pounds (12 ft lbs) I just hate going to the limit on screws.

Images should be self explanatory.

 

Great images nice write up

 

Can someone please clarify which 4 brackets are required? When I look up the install kit on the dealership website it lists 6318542020 AND 63185ORO10. The page linked below stated the correct bracket is 6318542020, however it also includes a picture which shows four 63185ORO10 brackets... About to order a rack from the dealer and i'm confused.

I used 4 of these
63185-0R010

 

I noticed in the link I posted above, it says this procedure is for 2019+ install.. mine is a 2018. Will the procedure be different?

 

Should be same for all 5th Gen
