Recommended Roof Rack and Cargo Storage System for 2011 Lexus GX 460
Question:
Hi, I have a 2011 Lexus GX 460 that has the flush mounted rails on the roof. We are bursting at the seams when it comes to ski weekends with kids and would like to add a roof storage system. What parts would we need to do this? Thanks!

Expert Reply:
For your 2011 Lexus GX 460 with flush mounted rails, I recommend the Rhino Rack Vortex Roof rack consisting of the following:
Rhino-Rack Vortex Aero Crossbars - Aluminum - Black - 49" Long - Qty 3 # RRVA126B-3
RCH Legs - Fixed Mounting Points # RRRCH6
Custom RCP Fit Kit # RRRCP23-BK
This roof rack is rated for a 165 lb weight capacity and will allow you to use a roof box like the Thule Motion XT Rooftop Cargo Box - 22 cu ft - Black Glossy # TH629906 which can carry luggage or 5-7 pairs of skis (or 3-5 snowboards). Another option is to use the Yakima MegaWarrior Extra Large Roof Rack Cargo Basket and Extension # Y07080-82 which will give you cargo space and additional accessory rails.
