I know my options

I appreciate your reply, however, I choose to drive, eat, sleep, take a road trip.
I know all the things you are telling me, but it's not what I asked.
Thanks.

I would assume that there is more than one Porsche dealership between you and the seller... Why not drive the Porsche and find a dealership along the way that has the spin-locks? Even if you have to detour a bit? If you're going to the trouble to drive half way across the country, surely you can deviate slightly to get the proper hardware...

Should fit in the 4 runner. Brought mine home in my 02 Sequoia without a problem. If I recall the top needs a 49" opening to go in. You should have that on an angle on the rear hatch openiing.

Thanks! But???

1st, I already ordered my parts, and will not have here in NJ until Sat/Tues.
2nd, I'd prefer not to take the Porsche on Rt. 80, not now anyway, maybe later sometime.

Having had done 5 roadtrips over the last 10 years or so with various cars, I'm not ready to do it in my Boxster, by myself, until maybe a year or 3 from now.

Thanks for all the help, so 40" opening works? (My wives Lexus RX450h has a 42" opening, and I was told it was a no fit/no go, so now I'm even more confused!?>?#$(*@$&
