Bike Rack on 6th gen 4Runner - post your setups / recommendations

[ExploreTheWorld]

I just installed a couple of Rocky Mountain roof racks on the stock crossbars. I underestimated the height and the effort required to lift a 35 pound bike to get it up on the rack. A step stool is definitely needed! Full roof rack coming soon and probably a widdle ladder so I can just stand up there and have someone hand me the bikes. I have a hitch mounted carrier for 4 bikes as well as I often have to carry 5 bikes when we ride as a family, but it is heavy and a pain so it typically stays in the basement until I need to carry more than two. BTW, black rack with blue accents looks pretty slick on a blackedout heritage blue runner!

My EV is much heavier than 35 lbs, I'll pass on that rack.

Yeah, mine too. It is pushing 60lbs and I seriously doubt I can lift it over my head that high.

1 Up USA rack. Has been on last 3 vehicles. I like them as the single allows me To open liftgate without doing anything. I can add 2 more racks as needed.
