Missing cross member bar in the ARB 3/4 roof rack

[4RunnerTony]

I would think if the dealer has a market adjustment, then they should eat the additional cost if pointed out at the point of sale. However, if there is a short supply and a high-demand area, you will have to order the part from the parts department. And, while you're getting your wallet out, get the console safe. The console in the 2025 is small, but it is a valuable addition and more secure than the locked glove box.

Do you have the part number for the console safe?

I'd double check on fitment.

PT972-89251-02 (4RUN HV CONSOLE SAFE)

The consoles are small with the I-Force MAX because of the space taken by the 2400W inverter system. That said, I love having a secure spot for valuables.

The 3/4 ARB roof rack comes with four cross members evenly spaced until you get to the one near the rear. Then, there is a noticeable void between the rear member and the back of the rack. If you climb above the rack, you will see pre-drilled holes for the fitting of an evenly spaced 5th cross-member bar. I ordered an additional bar, as did another individual who noticed the same thing on his new Trailhunter roof rack.

Does anyone know of any reason why these racks only have four cross members and are pre-drilled for an additional one?

I can't believe that after spending $1710 on my ARB Roof Rack I have to spend another $100 for the last cross member. DO BETTER TOYOTA!

When I picked up my Trailhunter last Friday, I mentioned this to the sales manger and she went through the owners manual and found a drawing showing that there are only four included and would not comp me a fifth bar.?

The upside is that most manufacturers tie down accessories work with this rack. Dovetail and T-slot. You might be somewhat miffed when you check the quality of the composite skid plates. Yours are at least plastic, my Platinum is sporting cardboard. While at the parts department getting your 5th cross member, you might want to get lit up for decent skid plates. This used to be a standard item even on the limited in 2004. These expenses aside, I love this 6th Gen Hybrid.

Yes. I agree about the skid plates. First thing I did was remove the Plastic Skid Plate and install an OEM TRD Aluminum Skid Plate. I am about to install the OEM Trailhunter Rock Rails and I've also got the unthreaded bolt holes in my frame so I needed to go out and buy ATC Specialty Products 1/4" BoxBolts for the install. It cranks me off, but I do love my 4Runner. It's my 3rd and I am enjoying making it my own. Good luck in creating your perfect 4Runner.

Mine came the same way. I actually moved one to the back.

Those cross bars are supper heavy duty. 3 would do just fine. Also I noticed they are not all the same length. The get longer towards the front, since the rack itself tappers outwards towards the front of the vehicle.

I modded this for now.

I just bought one too after reading it was missing. Here is the part number I ordered: PT989-89250-CB

I am missing one too. what's up with that!?

 

[kayleighk116]

if you look through your manual package, you will find one for the roof rack that shows it with 4 rails.

I questioned my Toyota dealer about this and they showed me the picture on the manual that only shows 4 vs. 5.

I got my new cross member today and installed it immediately. Looks great, fits perfectly. The other poster here is 100% correct, stating you need a T40 bit for installation. Of course, T30 was as high as I had in the garage, so I went off to Home Depot. Bottom line.........well worth it.

Did part # PT989-89250-CB include the fasteners? If not, is there a part # for the fasteners?

Mine came packaged with the bolts needed. No separate parts number for fasteners.

Thank you. One more question: Does that shark fin on the rear of the roof clear the rack? And what the heck is the shark fin for?

It does clear. I think it’s a GPS antenna
