Hi everyone, Aidan here with etrailer. Today we're gonna be taking a look at and we'll be showing you how to install this ARB BASE platform rack on our 2017 Toyota 4Runner. This is going to be a custom fit platform rack for your roof. Platform racks are a great way to really expand the function of your vehicle because, much like a roof rack, you can use it to mount cargo to or other accessories and carry extra stuff with you. But where a platform rack really excels is decking your vehicle out. And this one is no different than the competition. You've got tons of different options to choose from where you can mount up things like your recovery tracks, off-road jacks, a shovel mount, and then even maybe something like a fuel can holder or a propane tank holder. Really the options are limitless, and you can kind of spec this out to fit your needs. So if you're looking for a blank canvas to basically deck out and mount up a ton of accessories to fit your adventures, this can do that. The thing you've probably noticed by now is that the raised rails that we're once on the roof of your 4Runner are gone. This is going to be a full replacement for those. Now, don't worry, this is actually a really simple replacement because there's factory holes that your race rails utilize, so it's really easy to get these removed, and this only utilizes those pre-existing holes. We're not drilling new ones and we're making no permanent modifications to our 4Runner. So if you want to keep this and eventually put them back on, you can. With all that in mind, what sets this option from ARB apart from the competition, say, like a Rhino-Rack Pioneer Rack, or maybe a Front Runner platform rack I would compare this most closely with the option from Front Runner. I actually installed one on my videographer John's car, and he's been running with it for a couple weeks or a couple months now, and he really likes his, it's a very similar install, and they make options that cover 3/4 of the roof like this or the full roof. The main difference that I see between the two is that this option from ARB uses a different method for attaching accessories. The Front Runner platform has tracks in all of these main platforms and utilizes standard M8 hardware to attach those accessories. Very standardized hardware that you can find at any hardware store, or if you pick up Front Runner accessories, that's how they will attach. Whereas this option from ARB utilizes their dovetail system. So on the edge of every bar, you'll see this dovetail and the accessories will sort of bite onto that dovetail and clamp on that way. So it's a really unique way of attaching. I kind of like it. I think it's pretty neat because it makes it pretty easy to attach those accessories. My only problem with it is it's not very universal, so you're gonna have to utilize that. There's no slots in these bars, and they're otherwise solid. So if you need to mount something up, you have to use that dovetail. As far as capability goes, this is going to be able to carry up to 385 pounds, and that's pretty impressive. Just keep in mind that your vehicle is going to have its own roof capacity and make sure you just go by the lowest rated component. But knowing that this bolt into the roof, you are gonna get a more secure fit compared to something that just clamps onto your old raised rails. And all throughout you've got an aluminum construction which keeps things pretty lightweight. The only steel part here is your main mounting bracket along the side that serves as your connection point from the platform to the roof. A couple 4Runner specific things about the fitment here that I like. This kit comes with a wind deflector, which is going to match the curve of the roof quite nicely and help limit the wind noise that we experience going down the road. The overall height added to our roof really isn't that insane. I mean compared to our original raised rails that we're there, you don't sit that much higher. You really just need to watch out for your accessories mounted on top. Around the back on our 2017 4Runner specifically, we're getting great clearance with our antenna. It's pretty close, but it's something to watch for if you actually have a later model year because, with this facelift that happened around 2017, that antenna changed and older model years might have clearance issues. And the last thing is our hatch clearance. It does again come close to those brackets, but we've got more than enough room to be comfortable here and not ever make contact or limit the function of our vehicle's back lift gate.
