Steel Roof Racks Can Be Lightweight Too
When people think of a heavy-duty roof rack, they often picture something bulky and heavy. However, our CORPS 1804 5th Gen Toyota 4Runner roof rack challenges that perception. With a modern, minimalistic design, this steel rack weighs just 34 lbs—comparable to many 3/4-length aluminum 4Runner cargo racks. Despite its lightweight construction, the CORPS 1804 doesn’t compromise on strength or functionality. Built from the same steel used in skid plates that protect your 4Runner’s underside, this rack is ready to support roof-top tents, awnings, and storage boxes easily.
Durability is also a key factor in our design. Every lightweight 4Runner roof rack is coated with a premium powder coating, ensuring it withstands years of overlanding adventures while maintaining a clean and rugged appearance.
Lightweight on Your Wallet
We understand that a Toyota 4Runner roof rack should be as economical as it is functional. While our rack is not the cheapest option available, it provides incredible value at $724. Compare this to imported alternatives like the China-made Rhino-Rack for 4Runners, which costs $1,049 plus shipping, or the Australian-made ARB rack at $1,388 plus shipping. Even our local Denver-based competitor, Gobi, sells their 4Runner cargo racks for $1,895—and at 70 pounds, they are anything but lightweight.
By prioritizing thoughtful design and manufacturing locally, we offer an outstanding balance of price, quality, and performance. You get a premium, American-made product at a fraction of the cost of big-name brands.
Packed with Features, Not Weight
One of the standout aspects of the CORPS 1804 Toyota 4Runner roof rack is its ease of installation. Thanks to its open-side design, everyone can install it without hassle. This design also simplifies mounting roof-top tents, awnings, and our custom carrier deck, which includes prearranged mounting points for the most common accessories.
Beyond installation, we’ve packed this heavy-duty roof rack with features to enhance your overlanding experience:
Integrated Camp Light Mounting Holes: We include four sets of universal hole pattern designs that fit a wide range of camp light bolt patterns. Whether you prefer Baja Designs or budget-friendly Amazon specials, our rack accommodates them.
Built-in Wiring Slots: Keep your wiring neatly tucked away with small slots designed for zip ties, helping maintain a clean look and preventing tangled cords.
Utility Loops for Versatile Use: Each rack includes eight utility loops, perfect for securing dog leashes, hammocks, clotheslines, or anything else you need to keep within reach at camp. This feature is invaluable for dog owners like us—especially if your pup, like our Gus, has a knack for chasing wildlife.
Made in the USA: Lightweight on Your Consciousness
If supporting American-made products matters to you, you can rest easy knowing that the CORPS 1804 Toyota 4Runner roof rack is proudly designed, tested, and manufactured in the USA. We collaborate with local manufacturers in Denver, CO, to bring high-quality, thoughtfully engineered 4Runner cargo racks to our fellow 4Runner enthusiasts.
With a perfect blend of durability, convenience, and affordability, our heavy-duty roof rack is the ideal upgrade for your Toyota 4Runner. Whether you're an Overlanding veteran or a weekend adventurer, the CORPS 1804 has the strength to carry your gear without weighing you down.
