    Hi All,

    I'm not a fan of the TRD Pro roof rack and am looking for alternatives. The pro rack sits high in my opinion. The only thing I like about it is I can clean between the crossbars. It's also easy to remove the crossbars when I want to put a ceramic coating on it. That's been my challenge with after market racks. They have multiple crossbars that are not easy to remove.

    I've thought about getting rails and adding my own crossbars. That's an option. Does anyone know of any other racks that are low profile where crossbars can be easily removed?

    Thanks.

    Following. I also want to ditch my Pro rack, and can't decide between the Prinsu Pro or Sherpa Crestone

    All the low profile are very similar. I have the Wescott Designs modular. Simple to remove cross bars but not quick. Requires lots of loosening bolts. Personally not worth the effort to me.

    Seems all of them require the removal of multiple bolts, which is why I'm asking. Maybe I overlooked something in the market.

    It's not just removing the bolts on both sides of cross bar you want to remove. Need to loosen all the bolts on cross bars to release the pressure holding the rack tight.
