Here's some info:
Clicky
Not a lot of options for full length. I really wish FrontRunner would make one for the 3rd gen... only one missing from their site. K9's are pretty nice, but sit a little high for my liking. Gobi is super nice, but they are all $$$$$. Baja seems to be the best compromise, but I wish they made the utility rack for the 3rd gen as well. (like the 5th gen utility rack) as I'm not a fan of the side rails... all personal preference. but there's options, depends on what you're looking for and budget.
My personal favorite is @A.Wilson013 's. It's super simple and low profile, but solid at the same time. I'd like to make one like it at some point.

what year/generation
I guess that info would be good to know too. What year 4runner are we looking for? Prinsu doesn't have a 3rd gen rack that I've seen yet

I'm running the rhino rack pioneer platform. Can't say anything bad about it! All the options available are a plus too! I took custom dimensions and found a platform close to what I was looking for. They do offer one that would run full length.

What attaches the track to the roof for the full length like that? Did you have to drill holes? That's actually looking pretty nice! Do you notice a lot of noise?

Full length rails attach to the existing holes of the 4Runner. No drilling is needed. The feet of the rack attach to the rails that are bolted down to the existing holes of the 4Runner.
No wind noise.

But what about the track at the front? Does it just rest on the roof?

I love my camel bak rack, but fair warning it takes some time for rack to be made. I like the rails just because I transport surfboard a lot, and can put chairs and tables underneath them. My swift awning mounts nicely on the side as well.

I like my full length 3rd gen roof rack from camelback as well.

Looks great but no thank you. I talked to someone who has this rack and when he installed his roof top tent he came out with busted knuckles. I still don't see how someone can get their hands the sides. Mostly likely have to get to the RTT bolts from the front or rear which is a pain I'm sure.
