Question:
I just attempted to send this and I am not sure if it went through as all of a sudden the page closed due to a threat protection notice. I am looking to streamline my Falcon 2 Roofnest install. They installed it to the factory roof which is extremely high and unsightly. They used Yakima Jetstream and Timberline Towers SKS locks. I want to know if there is a flat and flush rail system that I can use with these other crossbars and towers? Etc. Everyone is telling me I need to invest another $1500+ in a box type roof rack for the load capacity. Load capacity is 160 lbs plus I have an awning which is maybe another 40 lbs tops. Thanks, Jessica

It looks like the picture came through, Jessica. From what I can see, it looks like the issue is with the OEM rails, which we aren't going to be able to fix.
No matter which set of crossbars you choose, you're still going to have a pretty tall setup because the OEM rails are pretty tall.
What you could do, is use a track system # RTC16 which would require you to remove your OEM bars. From here you'd need to add the landing pad # Y00221, towers # Y53TR, and bars # Y00425.
This would cut your current height in half and would be much easier on the eyes, but it is going to require some work.

Hi again. Thank you Bryce. I just wanted to confirm the system fitting the FJ Cruiser as when I put my vehicle into your listings above it says not confirmed to fit. Thanks again, Jessica
