How to Install Thule Alpine Pulse Cargo Box on 2008 Toyota 4Runner with Factory Bars
Question:
Is the easy grip mounting system on the Thule Pulse Alpine compatible with the factory installed cross bars on my 2008 Toyota 4runner Limited V8? The cross bars are 2 3/4inch wide by 1/2inch tall, and are aero shaped. Thanks for your help.

To install the Pulse Alpine # TH613 you would need to install a different roof rack like the Thule Evo Raised Rail Feet # TH710401, 53" WingBar Evo Crossbars # TH711420, as well as locks # TH450400.
