The combination of components affixed to the uppermost portion of the Toyota FJ Cruiser designed to carry oversized cargo constitutes a significant vehicle modification. This structure provides a platform for transporting equipment beyond the internal capacity of the sport utility vehicle. Examples include luggage, sporting goods, and construction materials.
The utility of such a modification lies in expanding the vehicle’s functional capabilities, particularly for outdoor adventures, work-related tasks, and general transportation needs. Historically, these systems have evolved from simple frameworks to complex integrated designs, often incorporating aerodynamic features and multiple attachment points to enhance load security and reduce wind resistance.
