    Bought a 2015 with a silver roof rack. Hate it. Looking at options. Damn things are expensive. Besides I want to spend that money on Katzkins. Thought about getting black end caps but IDK. Reviews are mixed and some of them take a month to get here from commie China.

    Also looked at this thing. Price is attractive and they look good but I'm sure you get what you pay for. - https://trail4runner.com/2021/01/20/blackout-roof-rack-kit-5th-gen-4runner/ Besides, what good is a roof rack without crossbars? And why would you design it without channels? :rolleyes:

    Thoughts and Recommendations welcome.

    Blacked out badges, window deflectors, smoked 3rd brake light. I have a Borla muffler on order as well as some color matched engine cover stickers. I'll be painting the stock wheels soon as well. Falken tires in the fall as well.
    My T4R had black caps with silver rails. I took the rack off and painted it with black truck bed liner. Almost two years and it's holding up great. I don't know if the caps can be painted but maybe order black caps from Toyota and in the meantime paint the rails and caps. Just a thought, hope it helps.Roof racks black.jpg Bed liner for roof racks.jpg

    One advantage of silver over black is that it doesn’t collect as much heat in the sun.
