Can I use this product without side bars on my toyota four runner roof rack

When you ask it you can use it without side bars, do you mean to say cross bars? I actually attached this to my Kia Rondo with the side bars and the front cross bar. I criss crossed ratchet straps around the back of the bag and to the side rails. Hope this helps.

It should work as long as you have something to loop the straps around. I use two ratchet straps as well for added security.

I believe you can, if you have "tracks" on the car to hook the straps on to.

You should be able to as long as you tie it down in a cross pattern. You need something there to keep it from sliding from side to side.

Yes, I checked it out already, you can use it without the front and the rear bars and without side bars also, but one thing make sure your cooler is fourteen inches and a half wide with side bars, without the sides bars is 16 inches wide, hope you find helpful this comment, Sincerely Enrique.

Yes, I think you could. You may want to go to an REI and try it out in the parking lot before you buy it on Amazon, but the metal clamps lock on with a semi-oval angle that grabs the edges of a more rounded bar (which are flat on bottom). Make sense? I can't promise since I used factory Subaru racks that are flatter, but there should be plenty of space for a square bar given the adjustments you can make on the clamp tightness.

I looked at some pictures of your car and the only problem might be that there are no roof racks. There have to be racks running front to back to attach the rails to. If there is an option for this or aftermarket product you can purchase, you will need to do so. But if the racks run side to side (like on my 2008 Subaru STi) then you won't need the Malone racks as you can attach whatever you are carrying directly to the aftermarket (or whatever) racks. Hope this helps.

I don't see why not. I have after-market rack bars myself (Yakima, though, not Thule). The parts for the bike rack that latch onto the roof bars are fully adjustable. It seems like a very good rack for the price-I just made a 3,000 mile trip with no problems at all, although just to be safe I used small bungee cables for a little extra security.

Yes they are. Without them, there is nothing to attach the roof rack too. Perhaps you will be able to find the attached bars at this website http://www.shokan.com/used-audi-parts.php

You need to have some type of cross bars to mount the racks on. I have them mounted on a Subaru Forrester

Yes but I'm not sure if you will need the gutterless mounts but I know the size of the bar will fit.

I have indicated on my review, not to purchase this particular item, with the reasons. Not sure this would work any better without a roof rack.

Yes, but-- The side rails interlock, and they give you plates to reinforce the joint. The two rails that run along the bottom don't interlock. They are really just spacers. It depends on what you plan to carry. You couldn't put a third rail across to support the middle, without making hardware to connect it. You also need to be careful about becoming top heavy. The rack on top of my 4runner is rated to carry 150 lbs. I'm a little over that.

I guess I don't understand what you're asking. My vehicle doesn't have side rails either. If you're asking what to strap it to, we strap it to the rack (the horizontal bars it is sitting on).

This is only the cross bar set and is intended for Highlanders that already have the roof rails. Toyota does not make a kit to add the roof rails.

If you have standard factory cross bars you should not have ny problem. We love our racks and are currently using them to transport our kayaks all over Canada on our 4 Runner

My stock roof rack was about 3 inches wide and they would not fit width wise.They would have going the other way but racks would have been going across the width of the car so my answer in brief is....No

You actually don't even need rails with this bag, the straps can also be threaded through the doors across the inside of the vehicle as well! (This is how we used it.) It comes with two different sets of straps, one for cars with rails, and one for those without. So yes, I am 99% sure that it will fasten well to side rails without cross bars. Of course, if there are no cross bars, the bag will sit directly on your car, and if you have lots of heavy stuff inside the bag for a long period of time, it could weaken your roof and potentially dent it...this is not likely to happen though.

You might check their website. I had cross bars on my roof rack and they mounted no problem.

Yes, the product title and one of the responses is confusing, but this is actually a complete kit. It will come with the side rails that you see in the picture that run front to back, and the cross bars that run left to right. It also includes the mounting hardware and the tool to install. You will not need any additional parts for this to work as a roof rack.
