I have a great option for you if you do not like the height of the Yakima LockNLoad # Y05045 with the Timberline Towers # Y33TR on your raised factory side rails on your 2022 Toyota 4Runner. Unfortunately, I confirmed with Yakima that you will need to have the Timberline Towers in order to attach the LockNLoad to your rails. They cannot be mounted without those towers directly to your rails. In order to complete this setup, you also need 2 sets of the LockNLoad SL Adapter for Yakima SkyLine and TimberLine Towers - Qty 2 # Y05042.

For a great alternative that will allow you to attach a carrier directly to the raised rails, I recommend the Surco Safari Rack 5.0 Rooftop Cargo Basket for Factory Rails - 84" Long x 50" Wide # SPS5084-1101. With the Surco, you will not need all of the additional components that are required for the LockNLoad. The Surco is more of a basket, but you can always add the additional floor kit # SP1114 to give you more surface area.

If you need straps for any of these rooftop accessories, I recommend the etrailer Cam Buckle Cinch Straps # E98876-4. These straps will allow you to travel safely with cargo loaded.

The reason I like the locknload platform is because I can attach bike racks to it and paddleboards (the cross members for pads). The basket you suggested does not allow that as far as I can tell and would only serve as a basket which I would use seldom. I carry SUP everyday, bikes couple times a week and luggage atop quite seldom. Is it a possibility to remove factory roof rails and replace with tracks that attach to locknload platform? What I am looking for is a basket/platform that I can mount bike racks to

If you are set on the LockNLoad Platform # Y05045 for your 2022 Toyota 4Runner, it is technically possible for you cut off the factory side rails of your vehicle. After you do this, here are the parts you need to install in addition to purchasing the LockNLoad: - Yakima Tracks for Roof Racks part # Y01135 - SkyLine Towers for Yakima Crossbars # Y53TR - LockNLoad SL Adapter for Yakima SkyLine and TimberLine Towers # Y05042-2 - 2 sets of the Landing Pad Yakima Control Towers part # Y00221 This system will require you to drill into the roof of your vehicle to install the tracks. This may also potentially void any warranty you have on your roof. If you are worried about voiding the warranty, I recommend sticking with the other setup even though it is a big taller than you wanted. Also, depending on the length of your roof, you may need to cut the tracks down to size. As far as the bikes and SUPS, I recommend compatible carriers like the Yakima FrontLoader # Y02103 and the Yakima SUPDawg # Y04075. As far as mounting luggage on the platform, I recommend securing them with cam buckles like the # E98876-4. As with all roof-mounted applications, I recommend that you confirm with your vehicle's owner's manual to make sure your roof can handle the weight of the cargo you wish to transport.

It really depends on the length of your roof on your 2022 Toyota 4Runner. In addition to the 60-inch tracks # Y01135, we also carry the following lengths: - Yakima 54" Tracks for Roof Racks # Y01127 - Yakima 42" Tracks for Roof Racks # Y01126 For the most precise choice, I recommend measuring your roof from the furthest from point to the furthest back point. In order to avoid a headache, I recommend erring on the side of the tracks being too long vs being too short. This is because you can always cut the tracks to shorten them. Also, it is important to keep in mind that depending on the curve of your roof, you may have to install extra bolts to accommodate for the curvature.
