was looking at putting rhino racks on my ute for spotties and they reckon you had to pop rivet into the roof skin and run a brace undernearth between the headliner and the roof skin

Had some on my old 4runner. They used to clamp in around the door opening. I think Rola made them from memory.

Another mate had some on his 4runner where they pop riveted some tracks to the roof. These worked well, but only if you happy to drill some holes in your roof.

I put roof racks on mine. Drilled and riveted. If you do install them make sure you use the blind rivets that sealed at the bottom or they will leak. I got caught out by this. And plenty or silicone as you can easily rub of any extra after it drys

Yeah they were rhino racks. They reccomended the 1.8 m length tracks but I got the 2.1m ones so I could have the option of mounting a light bar or a few sportiest on a small rack at the front.

They are meant to sit just on the inside of the small channel on your roof
