The factory roof rails are not going to carry a rooftop tent, an awning, and a week of expedition gear. The Front Runner Toyota Land Cruiser 250 Prado Slimline 3 Roof Rack Kit will. This is a full 92.1 by 51.2 inch flat platform engineered specifically for the 250 Prado, sitting 20 percent lower than the Slimline II it replaces. Your sunroof still works. Slats shift without dismantling the rack. Dual T-slot channels, corner tie-downs, and concealed wiring runs come built in, and the easy-release mounting system pulls the whole rack off without disturbing a single roof seal. Backed by a Limited Lifetime Warranty.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eYour Sunroof Still Opens\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003ePlenty of full-length roof racks block the sunroof entirely, which is a daily annoyance you notice long after the novelty of the rack wears off. Front Runner engineered this platform so the Prado's sunroof remains fully operational with the rack installed. Run a tent and an awning year-round and still open the roof on a good day.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eImportant: Panoramic Sunroof and OEM Roof Rails\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eTwo things to know before you order, both straight from the manufacturer.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFirst, this kit is not suited to 250 Prado models fitted with the panoramic sunroof. The standard sunroof is fine, the panoramic version is not. Check which one your vehicle has before buying.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSecond, the OEM roof rails must be removed as part of installation. That is normal for a platform rack of this type and it is what lets the tray sit low and flat, but it does mean install is more involved than a bolt-on-over-the-rails setup. If you are unsure about either point, reach out to us at offroadtents.com and we will confirm fitment for your exact vehicle before you order.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eFull-Length 92 Inch Platform\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eAt 2340 mm (92.1 inches) long by 1300 mm (51.2 inches) wide, this platform covers the full roof of the 250 Prado. There is room for a rooftop tent, an awning along one side, traction boards, a shovel, fuel or water carriers, and a cargo box all mounted at once. At just 80 mm (3.1 inches) tall, the flat tray keeps a streamlined appearance rather than the bolted-on look a tall basket rack produces.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eSlimline 3: What Changed From the Slimline II\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe tray is 20 percent lower in profile than the Slimline II. That cuts drag, reduces wind noise at highway speed, and helps protect the fuel economy a tall rack normally costs you. It also keeps the Prado closer to stock height for parking garages and clearance bars.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe bigger change is modularity. On older racks, moving a slat meant partially dismantling the platform. On the Slimline 3 you add, remove, or shift individual slats on the fly without taking the rack apart. Set it up for a rooftop tent one trip and a full cargo load the next.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eDual T-Slot Channels with Staggered Insertion Points\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eEvery Slimline 3 slat carries dual T-slot channels with multiple staggered insertion points along its length, and slats can be set to different mounting pitches. You are not fighting bolt patterns to line an accessory up. Drop your hardware into the nearest insertion point, slide it where it needs to sit, lock it down. Awning brackets, MAXTRAX mounts, RotopaX holders, shovel mounts, rooftop tent hardware, and light brackets bolt straight into the T-slots.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eEasy-Release Mounting: No Disturbed Roof Seals\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Prado kit uses an exclusive mounting extrusion that lets you pull the entire rack off without disturbing any of your roof seals. That matters more than it sounds. Removing a traditional rack often means breaking the seal at the mounting points, and that is exactly where water intrusion starts.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWith the easy-release system you can take the rack off for a service or a long highway trip where you want the aerodynamics back, then reinstall it with no resealing and no leak risk.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eIntegrated Tie-Downs and Concealed Wiring Channels\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eAll four corners of the Land Cruiser roof rack include integrated tie-down points sized for Stratchits, Stratchit shorties, and other lightweight securing straps. Quick loads get strapped down in seconds without bolting on aftermarket rings first.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDedicated channels inside the side profiles route wiring for light bars and other electrical accessories completely out of sight. Corner sections include built-in pass-throughs and breakout tabs so wires enter and exit cleanly wherever your build needs them. No zip ties, no chafed loom, no rattles.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eHeat-Treated Aluminium and 3CR12 Stainless Construction\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Slimline 3 is built from heat-treated aluminium paired with high-strength 3CR12 stainless steel, finished in a weather-resistant black powder coat with stainless steel fasteners as standard. 3CR12 is a corrosion-resistant stainless grade used where salt, moisture, and abrasion are routine, which describes a roof rack on coastal runs, salted winter roads, and muddy trails.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHeat-treated aluminium keeps a platform this size strong without the weight penalty of steel, which means a lower center of gravity and more of the Prado's roof load rating left for your gear.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eFront Runner Slimline 3 Land Cruiser 250 Prado Specifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003cthead\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eSpecification\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eDetail\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003c\/thead\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBrand\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFront Runner (Dometic Front Runner Series)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSKU\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eKRTL101T\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFitment\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eToyota Land Cruiser 250 Prado\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eNot Compatible With\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eModels fitted with a panoramic sunroof\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eStandard Sunroof\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFully operational with rack installed\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePlatform Length\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e2340 mm (92.1\")\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePlatform Width\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1300 mm (51.2\")\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePlatform Height\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e80 mm (3.1\")\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eProfile\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e20% lower than Slimline II\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSlat System\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMovable slats, no dismantling required\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMounting Channels\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDual T-slot with staggered insertion points, adjustable pitch\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eTie-Down Points\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eIntegrated at all four corners\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWiring\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eConcealed side channels with corner pass-throughs and breakout tabs\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMaterials\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHeat-treated aluminium and 3CR12 stainless steel\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFinish\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWeather-resistant black powder coat\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFasteners\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eStainless steel, standard\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMounting System\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eEasy-release extrusion, no roof seals disturbed\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eInstallation Note\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eOEM roof rails must be removed\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAccessory Compatibility\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAll Front Runner top-mount accessories\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWarranty\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eLimited Lifetime\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhat's in the Box\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSlimline 3 roof rack tray with slats\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eToyota Land Cruiser 250 Prado vehicle-specific mounting kit\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEasy-release mounting extrusions\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStainless steel fasteners\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInstallation instructions\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003ePros \u0026amp;

A panoramic sunroof is not compatible with this kit. Check which one your 250 Prado has before ordering, and contact us at offroadtents.com if you are unsure.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eDo I have to remove my factory roof rails?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eYes. The OEM roof rails must come off as part of the installation. That is what lets the Slimline 3 tray sit low and flat against the roof instead of perched above the rails. Keep the rails if you think you might return the vehicle to stock later.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eDo I have to drill into my roof?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eNo. The kit uses a vehicle-specific mounting system with an exclusive easy-release extrusion. It installs without drilling and later comes off without disturbing your roof seals, which is what keeps water intrusion from becoming a problem down the road.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhat is the difference between the Slimline 3 and the Slimline II?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Slimline 3 sits 20 percent lower for less drag and wind noise, lets you move slats without dismantling the rack, adds dual T-slot channels with staggered insertion points and adjustable pitch, includes integrated corner tie-downs, and routes wiring through concealed channels. It also uses the easy-release mounting system that comes off without disturbing roof seals.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow much weight can I put on the rack?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe platform is built from heat-treated aluminium and 3CR12 stainless and handles serious loads, but your real limit is the Toyota Land Cruiser's published roof load rating. Check the owner's manual for both static (parked) and dynamic (moving) limits and stay within them, especially running a rooftop tent with occupants.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eReady to Build Out Your 250 Prado?\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Front Runner Toyota Land Cruiser 250 Prado Slimline 3 Roof Rack Kit is the foundation the rest of your build bolts to.
