DIY Budget Roof Rack! Custom cross bars for my Lexus GX470

[@b7taylor89]

This looks better than the $1k+ racks anyhow. I'll never put a roof tent & wanted something more durable than OEM for my pelican with recovery gear - this is perfect. Thanks for doing this - sub'd & ordered from your link - stoked!

This would probably work with a rtt anyways. Factory rack is rated for 450lbs i think.

Perfect. I need crossbars that don’t sit proud of the rack rails like the stock crossbars do. Now I’ll be able to get under my low ceiling underground carport with out having to slide my stock cross bars all the way back. I’m going to use your link to place my order.

Just what I was looking for... Gave me some good ideas. Highly recommend looing at the (DB-010) Drop-In T-Nut w/spring-ball. Its what Sherpa uses and no need to counter sink any holes in the rails.

Thank you so much for this video and especially the saved shopping cart! Just installed on my GX.

Great job!! Everyone needs to see this video. I wonder how it will hold up against the elements.

I wonder what the weight limit is on this rack

[@CUTTIINGEDGE505]

any idea what weight this can support? roof top tent?

[@brm98]

That's awesome. I wish I could do that on my 460. The factory rails are more flush mount so the rails would contact the roof. :(

I've been trying to figure out the same thing for my GX 460 and I think you just answered why I can't find anything. I'm thinking of just adding 2 additional factory cross bars.

[@kristopherfox1402]

Does anyone know if the GX 460 Black Line Rails are the same rails found on the 470?

[@stuartmenzies3928]

Unfortunetly you did not sh0w us at all how to fix to the rails. That was disappointing to me as I need help with that

[@RoadsOptional]

Could you elaborate on what you mean by fix the rails?
