Roof Rack Recommendation for a 1996 Toyota Hiace Mod Van
Question:
I have a 1996 Toyota Hiace Mod. KZH138. Im looking to install a roof-rack but would need a Tall-gutter foot to accommodate it. Can you help? Thanks

While we do have a roof rack option for you, I checked with all of our roof rack manufactures, and they do not carry a roof rack with the gutter mounts you need on your Asian-model 1996 Toyota Hiace Mod.
With that being said, I recommend going with the SeaSucker Monkey Bars # 298-SX6000B (48" long) or # SEA99FR (60" long). The great thing about these crossbars is that they do not require any feet/gutter mounts to install; they simple attach to your bare roof of your van via vacuum cups. The bars come with an impressive 150-pound maximum weight capacity and are compatible with most clamp-on roof rack accessories such as kayak carriers and cargo boxes. I went ahead and attached a video that shows the impressive pull strength of the SeaSucker vacuum cups.
For theft-deterring locks for the bars, I suggest purchasing the SeaSucker Window Anchor # 298-BA0010 along with the etrailer Cable Lock # e98891.
