Cross bars

[Lhutch]

Anyone have pictures of their 2021 with the cross bars?
I cannot decide if I want them on my Wolf Grey.

Also if anyone bought them after market - what brand do you prefer? I am looking for ones that would come off easily for winter as pushing off snow will be easier without them

I have just installed the Thule Flushmount Aeroblades on my 2021 and absolutely love them. The main reasons are 1) They were cheaper than the EOM bars here in Canada. 2) They have a lower profile height than the OEM bars which I really like the look. 3) My understanding is that they are the quietest available based on online reviews I have read. Check out this thread for more info and pictures.

Thank you for the pic!
Do you think that it is a problem for snow? Or will you be taking them off?

No concerns at all. I'll be keeping these on all seasons. I have a cargo box as well as plan on getting a low profile basket or platform soon. For snow, the right sized brush should be able to navigate around them with ease.

I personally prefer this style of bar as I find the overhangs on the ends make the tie down of things easier , I'm sure they are noisier , and don't look as clean as the The Thule Blades but they are a snap to remove and I only have them on when I need them .................crossbars are not fuel economy friendly in any form

Using those, do they allow clearance for the sunroof? Thanks!

Might get the Yakima (they served me well back on my former 1990 4Runner), or the OEMs, heard some good feedback on the Thule blades on this forum. Decisions, decisions.
