For carrying the Kayak I recommend installing roof rails on your 2007 Lexus GX 470. With the rails you will be able to mount the Malone DownLoader Kayak Carrier # MPG114MD to the rails and will be able to carry 2 kayaks on your roof.

If your Lexus already has the factory side rails that run front to back, the Inno Aero Crossbars # INXB130-2 and Inno Through Feet for Aero Crossbars # INXS150 will be what you need for the kayak carrier.

With no factory rails you will need the Rhino-Rack Vortex Aero Crossbars # RRVA126B-3, RCH Legs for Rhino-Rack Crossbars and Pioneer Platforms # RRRCH6, and the Custom RCP Fit Kit for 6 Rhino-Rack RC and RV Series Roof Rack Legs # RRRCP03-BK.

For carrying the Generator the Stromberg Carlson Trailer Tray Cargo Carrier # CC-255 has a capacity of 300lbs. The tray will sit 29" above the a-frame of the travel trailer leaving enough room for the propane tanks and battery.

For hauling your bikes I recommend the Swagman Traveler XC2 Bike Rack for 2 Bikes - 2" Hitches or RV Bumpers # S64663. This bike rack has a bracket that will mount to the square tube bumper on the back of the travel trailer. It will also allow you to install the carrier into the 2" receiver on your Lexus if you want to use it without the trailer.
