Cross-beam missing on Trailhunter ARB rack?

[Barak]

I took a closer look at the stock ARB rack that came on my new Trailhunter today and noticed it has four bolt-on cross beams. But it looks like there should be five, since there is a gap and the empty threads for the two missing bolts.

Check your racks and let me know if you have four or five crossbeams please as I may need to call the dealer ...

Thanks

P/N PT989-89251 only comes with 4 cross bars.

I was looking around on Toyota. Com accessories yesterday. I'm going in to talk to the parts guy. I believe you can buy a crossbeam for $90 some odd dollars. I'm wondering what the two indentations on the front of the rack are for?

Update to the conversation. I checked Toyota's part and accessories page. The missing cross slat is available now. It comes with the two bolts to attach it. You'll need a T-40 bit to tighten the bolts. I can sleep better now that my roof rack isn't missing a cross slat.

Why do you think it comes from the factory missing the cross slat.

Probably to keep production costs down.
