Description

Leitner Designs ACS ROOF Platform Rack - Toyota 4Runner (Gen 5)

10 Years of Testing. No Drill Installation. Integrated GearPOD Storage.

The World's Toughest Platform Rack

The Leitner Designs ACS ROOF is the result of 10 years and hundreds of thousands of off-road miles of testing. We took the DNA of our legendary Active Cargo System (ACS) bed racks and created a world-class platform rack specifically for the 5th Gen Toyota 4Runner.

Over-engineered and over-built in Corona, California, this rack is stronger than the competition and designed to help you "Carry Your World." It solves the biggest headaches of SUV roof racks: wind noise, difficult gear access, and permanent vehicle modification.

The Problem & The Solution:

The Pain: Most racks create unbearable wind noise, require drilling into your roof, and make accessing gear difficult without a ladder.
The ACS Solution: We include a Wind Noise Reducer, utilize a 100% Bolt-On design, and pioneered the side-opening GearPOD ROOF for instant, ladder-free access.

Key Features: ACS ROOF for 4Runner

No Drilling Required

The ACS ROOF uses a 100% bolt-on assembly using factory mounting points. No holes in your roof means your 4Runner maintains its resale value.

GearPOD Integration

Compatible with the GearPOD ROOF (optional). This side-opening box holds 100 lbs of gear and allows access without climbing on top of your vehicle.

Infinite Adjustability

Adjustable load bars slide into toothed channels. Mount your gear exactly where you need it, not where the rack dictates.

Low Profile Design

Adding only 4.0 inches to your 4Runner's height, this rack keeps your center of gravity low and wind noise down.

Universal Fit

Designed to work seamlessly with existing Thule, Rhino-Rack, and Yakima accessories that use T-track mounting hardware.

Easy Lighting

Corner caps are removable, allowing for quick and clean auxiliary lighting wiring without drilling or zip ties.

Expandable Platform

Additional load bars can be added to create a solid platform surface, perfect for photography, lounging, or extra cargo.

Tough Fasteners

We use Grade 10.9 black fasteners with Zi-Ni coating and Loctite to ensure lasting performance and vibration resistance.

Over-Engineered in the USA

We don't cut corners. The ACS ROOF features heavy-duty aluminum alloy construction with 1.5mm to 3.0mm multi-wall thickness. It is designed, engineered, and manufactured in the USA.

Weighing in at just 75 lbs, it is lightweight yet incredibly strong. The finish is a durable dual-stage powder coat over zinc-plating, ensuring your rack looks good for years to come.

Real Owner Feedback ★★★★★

"The build quality on this 4Runner rack is insane. I love that I didn't have to drill into my roof. The real game changer is the GearPOD—I keep my recovery straps and air-down tools in there. I can pop it open from the side of the truck without climbing up. It's the most functional mod I've done."

- Jason M., 4Runner Enthusiast
Important Load Rating Note

Check Your Manual: While our rack is built to withstand immense loads, always check your vehicle manufacturer's recommended roof weight limit to ensure safety.

Frequently Asked Questions

+ Will this rack make noise on the highway?

Most roof racks generate wind noise, but the Leitner ACS ROOF includes a specially designed Wind Noise Reducer. Most owners report significant noise reduction compared to standard racks. For optimal results, ensure the fairing is installed correctly flush against the roof line.

+ Can I take my 4Runner through an automatic car wash?

We recommend using touchless car washes or hand washing only. Automated washes with heavy rotating brushes can snag on the rack or mounted accessories (like the GearPOD), potentially damaging both the rack and your vehicle.

+ Is the GearPOD ROOF 100% waterproof?

The GearPOD ROOF is weather-resistant and automotive-grade sealed, designed to handle rain and snow. However, it is not submersible. We recommend using dry bags for sensitive electronics during extreme pressure washing or severe storm conditions.

+ Does this rack interfere with the sunroof?

The sliding load bars allow you to adjust the position of the crossbars. You can position them to avoid covering the sunroof glass directly when not carrying a load, though the side rails run the length of the roof.

+ Is drilling required?

No. The ACS ROOF for the 4Runner is a "No Drill, Bolt-On" system. It installs securely using existing factory mounting points.

Prop 65

California Residents

Prop 65 Warning- Product may contain chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm. For more information, go to www.P65Warnings.ca.gov

Proposition 65 is a California law passed in 1986. Its goals are to protect drinking water sources from toxic substances that may cause cancer and birth defects and to reduce or eliminate exposures to those chemicals generally, for example in consumer products, by requiring warnings in advance of those exposures.

The regulation requires the State of California to revise and republish yearly a list of chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer or birth defects or other reproductive harm. The current list contains over 900 naturally occurring and synthetic chemicals. This regulation also requires manufacturers to place warnings on products that contain any of the chemicals listed by the State of California. No other states require warnings of this nature, and products with Prop 65 warning language are legal to sell in all states. Detailed information regarding requirements for compliance to the California Prop. 65 is can be found at: www.P65Warning.ca.gov
