New member about to receive delivery of an FJ and a long time Toyota 4Runner user. My dogs have left a distinct impression on the 4R that I am trading in on the FJ. "Eau de Labrador" has permeated the cloth of that truck. Hopefully the FJ will be more appropriate for a dog lover like me.

I did not purchase the roof rack because its design just doesn't appeal to me. Seemed to be more like an image add-on than a practical rack. I do need a storage rack for all my skiing, hiking and fishing gear (depending on the season) so I would appreciate any leads from other members on the best roof rack for the FJ. I do want and enclosed ("Thule" style) rack with locking capability.

To the best of my knowledge, none of the roof rack vendors have delivered a rack for the FJ Cruiser.

This uses the factory roof rack and I think it looks pretty darn tough and functional. Toyota FJ Cruiser Roof Rack Lockbox

ARB FJ Cruiser Roof Rack

Wow! I don't know why you would've done that. I just transported my buddies two kyak's with out any problem - the rack is definitely not just for looks - and the other week I used it to take some 4X8 sheets of plywood home.
Maybe the States get a different rack than us Canucks.

I am finding a hard time finding a 2007 sun fusion At, part time 4x4, with Trak and difer and back up beep etc without the darn roof rack, once they are on are they perm or can dealer remove and put in a moon roof say? Wab

The Factory rack is not just for looks. It is really quite functional. I have my Hi-lift jack, jerry cans, and ax/shovel mounted to it. The cross bars move in the rear which is nice. Wilderness makes a front basket that bolts on for those who need a full length rack. It is easy to add Yakama or Thule cross bars too. There are actually many options for aftermarket racks. Check out Wilderness, ARB, Gobi to name just a few.

oh yeah, that tuffy locking storage box does look nice. but I like the bolt on basket better.

I didn't get the factory rack, because I really like the ARB one and it looks like a factory rack, and it is beefy.
