Roof Rack Recommendation for 2018 Lexus GX 460 with Flush Rails
Question:
I have been doing a lot of research on the proper roof rack for my 2018 Lexus GX 460 with flush mounted rails and what I see to be 3 mounting points. I have seen 2 options based on your other recommendations: Options 1: Inno Aero Crossbars # INXB123-130 - Inno Through Feet for Aero Crossbars # INXS350 - Custom Fit Kit # INTR152 Option 2: 50inch JetStream Crossbars - # Y00425 SkyLine Towers - # Y00148 Landing Pad 30 - # Y25ZR Lock Core Kit - # Y07204 optional. I have been trying to understand the differences. Also, which is better the ability to move the roof rack around from what I understand the Aero will allow that to be done or a fixed mounting point the JetStream with skyline towers. Just trying to understand all my options and the benefits and drawbacks for each. All the Best

Since the Inno roof rack (parts hyperlinked below) can be mounted at varying locations on the flush rails of your 2018 Lexus GX 460 I recommend going with that system. It has a lower weight capacity at 140 lbs (as opposed to 165 lbs from Yakima) but in my experience most people don't plan on max-ing out the weight capacity of their roof rack so the benefit of adjustability will out-weigh (no pun intended) the higher weight capacity of the Yakima system.
Here are the parts for the Inno Roof Rack:
48" and 51" Aero Crossbars - # INXB123-130
Through Feet - # INXS350
Custom Fit Kit - # INTR152
Attached is a review video of this kit being installed on a GMC Yukon so you can get an idea of how the installation process will go.
