TRD Pro Roof Rack and Tire Question

[smyrin]

Hey all.

I’m a first time soon-to-be owner of a 4R TRD Pro. I just noticed that it comes with a sun roof. I was thinking of putting in a full length roof rack. Do they make roof racks that take a sunroof into consideration? I’m thinking that cross beams would only be on the hard roof side and you could extend the side rails and front arm to the front. Then I could put rack lights on.

Second question. Was planning on upgrading tires to 35’s. Will the spare tire cavity fit a 35? What do people do with the spare if it does not fit there?

Thanks.

I don't have a roof rack yet, but I've been researching them and from what I've read none of the major ones (Prinsu, Westcott, Sherpa, etc.) interfere with the sunroof at all.

And no, the spare tire cavity maxes out at a 33". Unless someone else has other ideas, you'd have to either put your 35" spare on the roof rack or on a hitch-mounted carrier - but that would create an issue with covering the cameras in the back.
