I have a separate detailed video on how to take off the factory Lexus roof rack and roof rails.

Looks great! Driving impressions? Any other feedback?

[@brianaustin1328]

Works great, no issues. Wind noise is minimal. I’ve carried a RTT, canoe, lumber, 4x8 sheets of plywood, etc. I highly recommend

Thanks for sharing! Have you been on some epic journeys with it since making this video?

[@brianaustin1328]

Yes! Just over 10,000 miles, 9 US National Parks, 3 Canadian Provincial parks, 40+ nights in a RTT. Plus, another 3,000 miles towing a travel trailer with a roof box. Excellent rack!

@@brianaustin1328 Awesome! Hopefully our resume will be as impressive in a years time! Have you experienced anything loosening up on you? And also, did you fill the gap left by removing the stock rack with a weather strip?

[@brianaustin1328]

@@doriangates9918 no loosening (and I checked a couple of times after some off-roading) and I did not fill the gap in the roof where the old rack covering was.

Nice video! What made you go with the Sherpa roof rack? It looks good on the truck.

[@brianaustin1328]

Good question! I looked at several brands, but I needed a rack that was flexible with crossbar placement, had the height to install a RTT, was easily shipped to me, and had decent YT feedback. There wasn’t a lot of YT content on the GX, but enough to help me choose Sherpa. I hope these videos help others, too.
