Gutter mounts represent an older style of roof rack installation that saw its peak popularity around the mid-2000s. They're often associated with vehicles like the GU Patrol, the 75-79 series Land Cruisers, and early Toyota HiAce models. These mounts are recognized for their simplicity in installation compared to newer systems.

A gutter mount roof rack is specifically designed to attach securely to the rain gutters lining the edges of certain vehicle roofs. These gutters serve as pre-existing channels that offer a natural point of attachment for the rack. The setup typically consists of crossbars spanning the width of the roof, supported by mounting feet designed to grip onto the rain gutters firmly.

Installing a gutter mount roof rack involves positioning the mounting feet onto the rain gutters and securely tightening them. The design ensures a snug fit, with the mounting feet tailored to match the shape and size of the rain gutters. This snug fit not only provides stability but also ensures the safety of various cargo types when the vehicle is in motion. Moreover, the compatibility with rain gutters simplifies the installation process, eliminating the need for additional modifications to the vehicle's roof and making it a convenient option for expanding carrying capacity without hassle.

HD (Heavy-Duty) roof racks feature a robust and durable design engineered to handle heavier loads and withstand rugged conditions. These racks typically incorporate thicker and stronger crossbars, along with reinforced mounting systems, allowing them to support bulky items such as rooftop tents, construction materials, or large recreational gear like kayaks and snowboards.

HD bars are ideal for outdoor enthusiasts, tradespeople, or anyone requiring a reliable roof rack solution for off-road adventures, construction work, or frequent heavy hauling. While they may sacrifice some aerodynamics compared to sleeker options, HD bars prioritize strength and versatility, making them a dependable choice for demanding tasks and challenging terrains.
