Hey all! Underground Sport Premium. 20' Nitto Ridge Grappler tires. Pretty much everything is already blacked out. Its intended to be my street ride and hurricane runner. I already noticed wind noise from the cross bars up top. I'd really like to replace that with a Westcott Designs or Pinsu Roof rack with the side window molle panels (I like the look LOL) and perhaps a light bar(?). l'm open to any other suggestions.

Yeah, I've noticed quite a bit of wind noise coming from the roof as well. Pretty wild coming from the 5th Gen 4Runner, where there was virtually no wind noise on a stock 5th Gen.
Wescott makes killer stuff. Check out Prinsu as well. Also, KC Lights is coming out with a new rack soon. It's supposed to be pretty epic.

Do you know if the Prinsu molle panels will work with the Wescott Pro Roof Rack? I like the wider look of those Prinsu ones.Yeah, I've noticed quite a bit of wind noise coming from the roof as well.

@ClarkeBar not sure on that one but with enough hardware, you can usually make anything work.

Ohhhh that looks nice. Everyone above has touched base on the racks, that KC one looks amazing. I'm also on the hunt for one. I was also looking at the rhino rack and yakima flat base racks that mount directly to factory crossbars. I haven't had any wind noice on mine. But SR5s might just be superior. HA 
Oddly enough the one pictured above was not the one I originally negotiated. I just checked my papers and that one *did* have the Predator steps but no cross bars. Apparently it was sold by another dealer after I had put my $ down and they told me it would be in a day later....it wasn't and I was pissed. Wrote them up a 1 star review on Google detailing it and next thing I know my phone is blowing up. They managed to locate another one, with more options that they would give to me at the same figures we had already negotiated. That one had the cross bars (and those Nitto tires)....so long story to get to say I agree with you on the steps LOL
I do have a height issue for my garage so definitely need something (I think) low profile there. I hadn't heard about the yakima ones tho.Ohhhh that looks nice.

Waiting for my Sport Premium to arrive! I've been looking for some nicer tires but 265/55R20 isn't a common size. Any issues/tire lights with the slightly larger tire size?
Congrats when you get it! The only thing I have noticed it I seem to be getting some really crappy milage, not that I drive it every day. When I tow my boat it drops like a rock. I have a Prinsu roof rack and molle panels on order along with some ditch lights.
