Recommended Roof Rack System for a Yakima SkyRise HD Tent on my 2016 Lexus GX 460
Question:
Im interested in buying this tent to put on 2016 GX 460. What crossbars I need to have? As the weight capacity for 2 crossbars is below 200 lb, how can I have the tent with two adults to be setup on crossbars?

Expert Reply:
I recommend using a rack system like the Inno system which consist the Inno Aero Crossbars part # INXB93-100, the Inno Flush Feet for Aero Crossbars part # INXS300 and the Custom Fit Kit for Inno Roof Rack Feet part # INTR152.
The reason we can use tents like the Yakima SkyRise HD Tent for Roof Rack Crossbars part # Y07436 is because the weight ratings are for a moving load when the vehicle is parked they rate the rack a bit higher allowing us to get up to the capacity of the tent. The ladder also helps support some of the weight while it is deployed.
