For your factory raised rails on your 2022 Toyota 4Runner, I recommend the Rhino-Rack Vortex Aero Crossbars - Aluminum - Black - 49" # RRVA126B-2 along with the Rhino-Rack SX Series Legs for Vortex Aero Crossbars # RRSX100. With this system, you can also purchase all-metal locks with # RRVA-LEC4. The great thing about this setup is that it comes with an aerodynamic design for a quieter ride. In addition, the Vortex strips in the top channel help to reduce wind noise and increase wind resistance.

As far as an SUP carrier, I recommend the Rhino-Rack Nautic Roof SUP or Kayak Carrier w/ Tie-Downs - Side Loading # RR570. The Nautic roof carrier comes with 2 tie-down straps and 1 set of bow/stern ties. It also comes with 6-mm thick santoprene rubber saddle pads that prevent scratches and abrasions to your board. As far as security, the bolts on the carrier are specialized and require a special tool to detach. This component provides theft-deterrence.
