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.

The Standard roof rack offers a simple and reliable solution for everyday use, crafted from corrosion-resistant aluminum for durability. Its through mount design extends the bar beyond the leg, providing extra width for accommodating wider loads. Although lacking an accessory channel for direct mounting, accessories can still be securely attached by clamping around the square bar. Installation is straightforward, reflecting the rack's user-friendly design. Additionally, locks are included for enhanced security, offering peace of mind during transportation. In summary, the Standard roof rack combines affordability with reliability, making it an excellent choice for everyday transportation needs.
