Our full-length roof racks now use a split side-rail design that lowers manufacturing and shipping costs, allowing us to offer lower pricing while also reducing the risk of shipping damage. The exterior appearance remains nearly seamless, and over 1/2" of material thickness at the joint ensures uncompromised strength and load-bearing performance.
All Victory 4x4 roof racks are rated for 300 lbs dynamic load (while driving) and 800 lbs static load (when parked), evenly distributed across the rack.*
*These ratings do not supersede, replace, or modify your vehicle manufacturer’s specified roof load limits, GVWR, or any other applicable ratings. Always refer to your owner’s manual. Vehicle handling will change with added roof weight, especially during off-road use or emergency maneuvers. The user assumes all responsibility and risk associated with installation, loading, and use of this product.
All Victory 4x4 roof racks are covered by a limited lifetime warranty to the original purchaser. See our warranty page for full details.
Rack sits 2.5" above the highest point of the roof (center point).
We recommend using paint protection film under the front and rear fairings, where they contact the vehicle. This will prevent dirt and debris from scratching the paint over time.

It is nice looking and affordable rack. Installation was fairly easy. They totally cheap out by making you buy black hardware if you don’t want the silver hardware and then the blackout kit doesn’t even convert all the bolts to black whhich then requires painting.
Now the rack. It comes with darn near no attachments. All the attachments. If you look at Rhino rack these have like .2 of the options for mounting gear. There are also no t slide bolts that they sell other than these small ones for massive mounting plates leaving you to go to Amazon to try and find ones that fit- difficult. Then there are the aluminum slides themselves. They are very finicky. There are two very small slides side by side. I might prefer one beefier slide that is a more universal T-slot size than two that are a PITA to try and get a bolt that fits.
All in all I think these guys a filling a niche of those of us who don’t want to/can’t pay for a nicer system. Their R&D team have come with nothing to the table to provide options for the buyer. Totally nice enough guys but it seems like they haven’t fully committed to their product. If you want options look elsewhere.
Note From Victory 4x4: To keep the cost low on a such a high quality rack we need to limit what gets sent with it. We leave these accessories up to the customer so they can buy exactly what they need for each situation as opposed to us kitting the rack with things you don’t need and thus should not have to pay for. We hope you are happy with the quality and versatility of your rack if not please feel free to contact us.

I thought these looked good. I’m sure they perform as intended. However had I watched the installation video prior to buying I would not have purchased. You have to buy 3M tape unless you want your paint scratched. I would think just shy of the handtools needed it should come with what is needed for installation. So had to order tape. Then you have to cut the rain channel guard out to properly seat the rack in the front. I didnt want to do that so I let it rest on the guard. The height of it like that caused the wind to go under it. The vibration it made once you hit 60 mph was crazy to the point that for a week I drove around with the sunroof back holding onto the fairing to keep it from vibrating. I finally fixed this by zip tying a pool noodle behind the fairing. It stopped the vibration.
Never really had a chance to use it like I wanted. I have since sold it and gone back to a Bajarack. Their front brackets rest on the roof and not the rain channel..
I helped the guy I sold it to install it on his ride and it looked great but it wasnt for me.
Note From Victory 4x4: The rack does need to be installed in the channels per the installation instructions or noise and vibration will be a huge issue.

I purchased this rack do to price alone and well you get what you pay for should have paid 100$ more for a prinsu just the accessories and innovations alone with prinsu is a better deal. Rack was easy to install however i had to retap almost all of the threads to mount the crossbars to the side rails the powdercoat was gone in a gew places upon recieving the rack while it was packaged very good so id assume quality control is the culprit. Upon installing the cross bats most of the powder coat has flaked off no wounder they include “free” powdercoat cuzz id be pissed if i paid extra for this crappy job. Last product ill ever purchase from this company. I will asume that this review not being five stars wont even be approved by this company.
Note From Victory 4x4: Joseph we are sorry to hear about the powder coat issues with this rack as that is not typical of our products. Please reach out to our customer service team and we would be happy to help further.

After installing I’m not too impressed. The powder coat is very very thin it has been scratched off in a couple different spots during installation. The mounting brackets should of been made to accept the factor bolts since they already have gaskets. Seems like y’all updated the mid mounting brackets I didn’t have to cut anything on the 22 4Runner like video said I would have to do. The front fairing doesn’t fit as snug as I was hoping. It doesn’t hug the roof only hugs in the middle and maybe about 8 or so inches to the left and right. At first there was a ton of wind vibration but after some tweaking I got most of it taking care of.
Note From Victory 4x4: We are sorry to hear about the issues with the installation. If we can help in any way please don’t hesitate to reach out to our tech support team and we can get the fitment figured out.

We received the roof rack and started the install. Once we got to the step to mount it to the roof we opened the packaging to find they hadn’t sent 1 of the 4 mounts you use to secure it to the roof. Called throughout the day on Friday and no one answered.
I finally got a hold of someone on Monday and expressed the obvious frustration that they would miss shipping an important part. They said they wouldn’t overnight the part to me because it was too expensive but they’d do 2 day shipping. Then I got a call later in the day that if I wanted to have it shipped 2 day I would have to pay for shipping. I called back and was told mistakes like this happen the guys probably just missed putting it in the package and it’s not something we are going to cover the cost of sending that quickly to you. To get this installed I had to take PTO from work and drive 5 hours round trip yet they wanted me to pay for the shipping a part they were supposed to send in the first place. The missing part resulted in having to cancel a camping trip since I couldn’t install the roof top tent on the roof rack. The customer service rep was completely apathetic about the whole thing.
Be warned they don’t have anything in place to make sure all the parts are in the package prior to shipping. I would return this in a heartbeat if I wasn’t going to be charged a re-stocking fee. If you’re looking for a roof rack I would absolutely look for another company to buy from.
Note From Victory 4x4: We apologize for the mis-shipment and confusion on overnight shipping. If there is anything else we can do please feel free to reach out.

Here we go again since victory doesn’t want to put my review up. First off this roof rack is expensive. Expensive means it should fit perfectly and I should never have to touch it again. The passenger side rail wouldn’t fit correctly in the rain gutter and I had to shim the roof rack with washers to make it sit right. The passenger rail was warped bad enough it wouldn’t even sit in the groove and ended up ripping all my paint off and started rusting. Then if I put anything on the back of the rack or the middle the front lifts making the front wind guard vibrate against the roof VERY aggressively. I’ve had to adjust it EVERY time I put something on the rack. The. There’s the insane initial price of the rack fallowed but the insane price for every bracket or bolt for this. I needed 4 screws and 4 t nuts. 17.99. That’s just downright ridiculous. Also the hardware on my roof rack is putting streaks down my paint when it rains. To say the least I’m not happy with my purchase.
Note From Victory 4x4: Max please reach out to our tech support team and we can help you work through these issues with your roof rack.

Got this for our 5th gen and may will be the one year mark where we have been working with victory 4x4 and haven’t came to a resolution. No refund no replacement rack. The set up we received has bent side rails so it won’t seat and loves yo rattle the bolts out. We’ve sent many photos and videos and been told “instillation error” tell me how a bent fabricated rail is an instillation error and not a manufacture error? So this $1000 rack has been sitting disassemble in the garage for months as it’s not usable. Save yourself the headache money and terrible customer service and look elsewhere.
