Hi everyone, it's Evangeline here at etrailer. And today, we'll be taking a look at our Inno roof rack system with the Inno square crossbars that are 50 inches long, the Inno feet for square crossbars, right here on our 2015 Toyota 4Runner. Now for a comparison between these square bars and other roof racks design for your 4Runner is if you want more weight capacity, you would go with the square crossbars because they're made of steel, they have more capacity, but they could be slightly noisier compared to an aero crossbar. So that's something worth considering. Also, you might even want the longer crossbars, since if you want more overhang, this doesn't provide more overhang. You could just easily step up the size, no issues at all.
So it is up to you and your adventure. Some kayak carriers and some accessories require more overhang. So check those out before you choose your roof rack. So we have a bunch of different roof rack options right here at etrailer. That's because for your 4Runner, if you're going out on an adventure, you might want a little bit extra space for either your cargo, your roof rack accessories, like your bike racks, your roof boxes, or even your kayak carriers.
That's where this comes in. So this is an aftermarket roof rack. You add this onto your raised side rails on your 4Runner, and that allows you to carry those extra things on your roof. So let's take a look at this specific system, just to see if it's the right fit for you, your vehicle, your adventure, especially compared to the other roof rack options we have. So these are the square bars and they're made of steel.
So they have that nice weight capacity. Inno also has their own unique design. Sometimes, they don't look as good on vehicles, but on our 4Runner, I think their design works out pretty well. It matches just the sporty ruggedness of the 4Runner. So these are the 50-inch long crossbars in black.
So let's take a look at different measurements, just to see how it fits on your roof. So first we'll take a look at overhang. So technically, you have an overhang of two and a half inches. That's measuring from this end of the tower to your endcap. But because of the way our tower is built, where it sticks further out, I would like to say there's actually zero overhang with this crossbar length. Now let's talk about roof height and roof clearance. So roof clearance is going to be from the highest point of the roof to the bottom of our crossbar. So right here, it measures at about three inches of roof clearance. So if you do have clamps that go around your crossbars, that's how much space you have for those clamps. Also, if you carrying around skis and they do have extra thick bindings, you might wanna be concerned about roof clearance. So let's take a measurement that will help out with that too, and that's height. So you have it where it's four inches above your roof. So that's where your accessories are going to be sitting on. Add that to your clearance and that's how much space you have to work with. So your Toyota 4Runner could possibly also come with factory crossbars. These actually had those factory crossbars, but I took them off and replaced them with these roof rack bars because of the limited clearance. The factory bars fit right inside your rails and the space between the bars and your roof is so small that most of our clamps here at etrailer did not fit around them. So if you already have factory crossbars, you're wondering why you might want an aftermarket roof rack, that is the reason. You get more versatility, more clearance, and can carry around more things. Now speaking of clamps, you will have to make sure that your accessories fit around these bars. It's really cool that they have a 220-pound weight capacity. It's even more than your aero bars. But the thing with your modern aero bars is that they're designed to reduce wind noise and wind drag. And the Inno bars have a T-track channel, these do not. So just make sure that whatever accessory you have, if it does have a clamp, it is designed to fit around your square crossbars. We also have an integrated lock. So you do get these keys, and these keys are key to the towers that come with your kit. So one key to access all four locks. So these go right in there, twist them, and then you can take off the endcap. And when you wanna secure them, you just pop them right back in, because once that is locked in place, that endcap prevents you from boosting the tower. Another thing about our tower is we have this pad, and that goes around your raised rail. So this actually has a little bit more cushion compared to our other towers that I've seen. And it's nice to see how well that fitting is around your rail, as well as your options when it comes to what notch you put that strap in, just to get the best fit for you. Now let's talk about the tower. So your 4Runner has these raised side rails. I really like raised side rails because it gives you a little bit of versatility when it comes to any of your roof racks. You can move them back and forth just to get the best crossbar spread for your accessory. Now these towers are designed to go around your raised side rails. They have a strap that fits around those rails, and then they have a lever that tightens down. So let's take a look at that install process. So the install process is very simple, especially since these go right on to your raised rails. So this is pretty much all I need to install my crossbars. I already installed the rear ones so that we install the front ones together. So you have your crossbar, you have your towers, you have your endcaps for your towers, and you have your endcaps for your crossbars themselves. Some other tools that I use are the Moky doorstep, just to give myself some extra height and traction up on to our roof, and a tape measure so you can make sure that everything is aligned and has a good enough overhang. So let's start installing this crossbar. So get your tower, release the rubber strip for the notch that it is in. You may need to loosen that strap if needed, then you go get your crossbar. So we're just gonna bring this in and then feed this through. You may need to push down in order to get enough. So once you have your towers on your crossbars, you'll then make sure again that the straps are released. And now it's time to put them on our roof. While this is possible to do on your own, I highly recommend having your friend help you out, and just grab one end as you put it on your 4Runner. So this is Andy here. He's just gonna grab that tower and help align it with our raised rails. You may need to push the crossbar out a little bit. There we go. That will help both of us get onto the raised rails. Now we have two options when it comes to placing our straps 'cause you do go around the rail and then up into the tower. So what I'm gonna do is I'm gonna place it on the top notch, where it says standard or Normal. And before you fully tighten down your towers, you're gonna wanna measure for overhang. So that's gonna measure from your tower to the end of your crossbars, measure on the other side, and try to get them to match up as much as you can. That's how you know your crossbar is evenly distributed on your towers. But once you've done that, go ahead and tighten this all the way down. I recommend going partway on this side and on that side, and then tighten both down. That way, you don't skew it to one side or the other. Once you have this fully tightened down, just drop that lever so it's out of the way, and then start putting your endcaps on. So you're gonna have an endcap for both the crossbar. That pops right on, there's just a rubber endcap. Then you have this endcap for your tower that fits right into your tower and you have these keys to secure it. So do the exact same process on all four towers, so both of your crossbar pairs, and once you confirm that everything is locked down and tightened down, that's it for the install process. So my personal thoughts about this roof rack system is I like the weight capacity. I really like this design. I think it looks really rugged and sporty. I personally would use this with longer crossbars. Since you do not have T-track channels on top, if I really wanna maximize that 220-pound capacity, I would like longer bar space. So that's definitely something worth considering. If you're not into the square bar, you don't need that much weight capacity, definitely check out the Inno aero crossbars, especially the ones with the Through feet. Those look really good on the 4Runner and might be something worth considering as well. And that was a look right here at our Inno roof rack system with the 50-inch long Inno square crossbars and the Inno feet for square crossbars and your raised side rails, right here on our 2016 Toyota 4Runner..
