Expert Reply:
The best assisted kayak carrier we offer is the Thule Hullavator Pro part # TH898 but to install it on your 2004 Lexus RX 330 with factory crossbars will require you to also install a Thule roof rack part # TH712200, # TH710401 since the Hullavator only will attach to aftermarket crossbars that overhang past the feet of the rack by a few inches. The great thing about this carrier is that you get to load and unload the carrier at waist level and then push it up onto the roof with assisted shocks.
