Rock Auto is good for spares.
I recently bought a few things from there and they delivered to South Africa in less than a week. WAY cheaper than local dealerships too

Like anything read read read
RTTs run from elcheapos in the 650-700 range up into 1500 plus
and like everything else you get what you pay for
plus you'll need to either buy or build a mounting system on the KJ and get rid of the cheap stock rails
ARB has some really nice RTTs
also check out compactcampingconcepts
he has several different styles available at cheaper prices

Ill look into that. How do the stock rails mount? Im sure i can come up with something. Get some steel tubing and have it bent and weld flanges on both ends to mount...

Plus they're a strong supporter/sponsor here with a nice 5% discount for us.

Split the plastic clamshell cover at the front and back of each rail. Underneath are two bolts running down into a nutzert in the roof. Remove the bolts and the rails come right off.

EDIT: Just saw that Tom beat me to the answer a few seconds before I posted. Sorry for double answer.
