Aftermarket “OE TRD Pro Style” Roof Rack on eBay

Could be the same seller. One listing is located in Baldwin Park CA. and the other is Temple City CA.

7 miles +/- away from each other.

 

Ok, the seller sent me an actual pic of the product he is selling. Not a good quality pic, but better than nothing.

 

To me, its looks more glossy/satin than the OEM. The OEM is more of a matte black finish.

 

Ok guys- I bit and I'm sorry I did.

Non-OEM Very Poor Quality
This is not OEM. Very poor quality, does not come close to fitting correctly. Be prepared to return it or spend hours modifying/bending/cutting/drilling to make it fit. The plastic mounting brackets are a cheap plastic that might last a year in the sun before cracking and failing. Weight limit is 110lbs. but I wouldn't feel safe with more than 50 on it. Looks good in pictures but not in reality.

 

Well, crap sorry this happened to you!
Any pics of it?

 

That’s very unfortunate. Thank you for sharing and also putting out a “Buyers Beware”.

If you can, you should post pictures of the poor quality you are describing.

I’m sure you’re not the only one here that got one and to also find out it’s not up to OEM quality. You just had the initiative to post about it here.
I think most of us knew it was not OEM, and like I said before, for the priced shipped, It seems too good to be true. Looks like the two sellers in the links sold a good amount since this thread started. They should revise their eBay listings and stop putting up misleading pictures and descriptions.

 

I guess hope springs eternal but something that seems too good to be true probably is. There are very few bargains out there. Thanks for sharing!

 

I edited the original post.

If I ever install a lift on my rig, I would probably be selling the OEM TRD Pro rack that I have at a price lower than that eBay listing. It would barely fit in my garage if I had a lift with that rack on. Deals on a OEM Pro rack can be found if you look hard enough.
I’ve seen used ones for sale locally on Craigslist at an asking price of $450.

 

Here’s me pretending to be shocked

 

i've seen oem trd pro rack sell for $300

 

thanks for the pic. it doesn't look too bad. seems to be missing the matt wrinkle finish like oem.

 

ouch do you have test fit pictures? want to see how it really is. sorry for your troubles.

 

thats what I sold mine for

 

At $300 that is a smoking deal. You can flip it and make an easy $150

 

i just like finding them and having my friends buy them locally. Some people have them and some love them. some hate them

I like it.. but one day I’ll get a Gobi

 

Thats what I want to get if I sell my OEM Pro rack. Great minds think alike.

 

i really want this, but dam $1595 and perhaps a 6mo wait

TOYOTA 4RUNNER 5th GEN
STEALTH RACK
· Lightbar Setup
· WITH SUNROOF

 

I’ve been eyeballin the one without a sunroof as my 2015 Pro unfortunately did not come with one.

If I come across a good deal on a used one, I would highly consider buying it then sell my PRO rack

 

So I (probably unwisely) decided to take a gamble on this. Quality doesn’t look great but since I have it, I’m going to install and see what it looks like. Can always swap it out again later.

However, it shipped without installation instructions and I haven’t yet been able to make contact with the seller. It’s not exactly intuitive. Does anyone happen to have an electronic version of the installation instructions? Any help would be appreciated.

 

post pic after the install and good luck its easy install

 

Great timing that this thread once again pulled up. Just traded my OEM TRD PRO roof rack (with additional cash) for a used Gobi Stealth Rack with the sun roof cut out and ladder. My rig does not have a moonroof so I originally preferred the Stealth without the sun roof cut out but this was a smoking deal that I certainly could not pass up.


So if anyone is selling a Gobi sun roof insert at a good price, please send me a message.
