Interesting. It varies depending on customizations but when I was researching racks, Aluminess told me that for a penthouse top with standard slats the weight was ~130lb.
I went with the K9 because the 2m x 1500 m (79" x 59") is 72lb. Something to consider with a manual penthouse. It's also the same width and fits in nicely on the rest of the roof behind the solar panel.
OP, 4runner had a 10% off deal from the Overland Expo that I think is still valid. I'll see if I can find it in my swag bag of cards, literature, brochures and the like.
