I have seen a 2nd gen driving around with the Thule xsporter. Wondering if they are a forum member ? Or if anyone else has put one on?

Uhh, Where?

Update your profile and someone might be able to tell you the answer to your question?

I recently installed a Thule 422XT Xsporter on my 2nd gen.
I got the older Xsporter because I found it new-in-box on Craigslist and got it for $400.
Planning on getting a rooftop tent. Also for transporting canoe & kayak.

Installed Superstrut rail.
Got T-bolts on Amazon and made it fit the slot using a grinder. Everything else was from Home Depot.
I had to move the rear mounts almost all the way back so the trunk lid can open.
*I'm not an engineer so hopefully the rack does not sheer off. Seems sturdy when I do the shake and hang test on the rack.

How did you install the Superstrut rail, did you use the factory fender bolts or drill new holes?

How Did you install the superstrut rail?

I used the 3 factory bolts and holes in the bed.
I originally used the holes on the superstrut and had to drill 1 hole in the center, but I wanted the rail higher so I drill 3 new holes slight lower.

I haven't seen that Ridgeline color before, but I like it.

Do you mean white?

Looks like a tan color, the garage door is white. May be lighting.

Hello. I have been researching the best side rails set up to support a variety of different bed rack systems for my new RL. I recently came across a post with installation of Tacoma truck bed side rails. I am considering installing those. I assume that I will be able to install the Thule Xsporter rack with the Tacoma side rails. Am I incorrect in that assumption?
Thanks
