Hi I`m after some roof bars for my Rav, can some one suggest a good pair, have seen a few but they dont look like they will fit properly onto the factory fitted rails.

any info welcome

Have you tried Kingo?

I have the Thule Rapidfit bars that clamp around the rails.
Found them very secure and prefer them to the official Toyota option as they will fit near enough any vehicle with raised roof rails
If you go for this option, you can choose to get either the normal square bars to go with them or the "Aero" bars. There are different lengths of the bars - make sure you get the right length as the shortest ones they do are too short. I don't know the length needed, simply measure the car width and then add on some extra for fitting if there is no car sizing guide

Thanks guys, will pm Kingo now for a price, Im also after some mud flaps, are the Toyota ones any good, and how are they fixed to the car? does it involve drilling new holes for screws etc.

The Toyota mudflaps are best and come with all the fittings. I think all of the holes are drilled but on a 4.3 there are some at the front you have to run a drill through but they are "dimpled" to identify the location.

Dead easy!

Hi jedi
Here is a photo of the Thule ones I have on mine




I think they have a newer version out . Check this link

I'd recommend Thule - ours have the same "feet" as llith but we have the "aerobars". The added advantage for us is they fit the 4.2 and the 4.3. They take less than five minutes to fit (Although my better half likes the look of them and tends to leave them on!)

Look what popped up on ebay;
