Gutter mounts represent an older style of roof rack installation that saw its peak popularity around the mid-2000s. They're often associated with vehicles like the GU Patrol, the 75-79 series Land Cruisers, and early Toyota HiAce models. These mounts are recognized for their simplicity in installation compared to newer systems.

A gutter mount roof rack is specifically designed to attach securely to the rain gutters lining the edges of certain vehicle roofs. These gutters serve as pre-existing channels that offer a natural point of attachment for the rack. The setup typically consists of crossbars spanning the width of the roof, supported by mounting feet designed to grip onto the rain gutters firmly.

Installing a gutter mount roof rack involves positioning the mounting feet onto the rain gutters and securely tightening them. The design ensures a snug fit, with the mounting feet tailored to match the shape and size of the rain gutters. This snug fit not only provides stability but also ensures the safety of various cargo types when the vehicle is in motion. Moreover, the compatibility with rain gutters simplifies the installation process, eliminating the need for additional modifications to the vehicle's roof and making it a convenient option for expanding carrying capacity without hassle.

Aero bars are not only aesthetically pleasing but also offer practical advantages, combining style with functionality. Their sleek, low-profile design not only enhances the vehicle's appearance but also minimizes noise while maximizing fuel efficiency. They are easy to install, featuring a built-in T-slot that allows for quick attachment of various accessories such as kayak carriers or bike racks. Additionally, the inclusion of locks provides added security and peace of mind for users.
Whether opting for the Aero Flush for a stylish complement to the vehicle, Aero Through for expanded carrying capacity, or Aero Rail for compatibility with roof rails, these bars offer versatility and convenience for outdoor enthusiasts and travelers alike.
