ARB Roof Rack Small (52"x44") - installed

Got the ARB Roof Rack Small (52"x44") and installed today. It took me about an hour to mount the fit kit and rack (and of course, including several beer breaks). The rack is well made and looks good. I really like the FJ Cruiser cut out (and I'm thinking of making a painted white or red backing plate) on the sides of the fit kit.

Wow, I really like that look. Not sure why, though. Where did you get the light bar?

I really like it.

Did you remove the stock FJ rack or was your rig rackless? I just wondered how many holes there would be to plug.

Excellent!!

My FJ was originally rack less. I installed the light bar first and don't want to lose it because I like the lights up there. So I decided to just get the ARB 1/2 roof rack. The ARB fit kit (where the roof rack sits and secured by an L-bracket & bolts) will cover or use the same (8) holes (middle & rear position) for the factory rack.

Looks sharp! How did you route the wires for the four lights. Very clean.

Nice rack.

Looks better than the full, IMO.

Re: ARB Roof Rack Small (52"x44") - installed

VERY nice, and a great improvement over the OEM rack.

How much did the rack itself cost, if I may ask??
