I’ve been thinking about that too. I’ve decided to try the cross bars + deck/platform first. I just don’t feel great about digging in to the sheet metal, sealing, etc. I am sure I can do it… I just want to experiment with it a bit first.

I ordered the cross bars last night ($260 total vs $400 msrp). For the deck/platform I am going to try the “Kuat Dek”. I can’t seem to find anything less wide (sub 47”).
@watchbuzz , I'm also on the fence. I already have the oem black rails and crossbars.
I would like to utilize what already came with the Runner.

Does the deck/platform attach directly to the oem crossbars with adapters? If so, can you provide me with the link.

Unless I'm on the wrong site, I only see it for the 5th Gen. please advise. Thanks

enjoy the ride!

The Kuat Dek clamps on to the factory cross bars. Two bolts per clamp. The dimensions are 47x60. Which would make it about 1-1.5 wider that the raised rails on either side. I was hoping to find something flush if not slightly narrower, ideally 43” wide.

Thanks for the information. I don't see it for the 6th gen.
Do you have the link to the one you are referring too?
