How to Use Thule Hullavator on 2003 Lexus LX 470 w/ Factory Roof Rack  

Question:

I shave a 2003 Lexus LX470 with factory roof rack. Will hullivator fit the rack/rails or does it need an adaptor set?

Thanks so much for the photo, and there is a way to use the Thule Hullavator Pro Kayak Carrier # TH898 on your 2003 Lexus LX 470, but there isn't an adapter or way to use it on your factory roof rack, so what you'd need to do is get a new roof rack, from Thule. Since your Lexus has raised side rails, you'd just need the following parts:

- Thule WingBar Evo Crossbars - Silver # TH711200 or Black # TH711220

- Evo Raised Rail Feet for Thule Crossbars # TH710401

- Thule Hullavator Pro Kayak Carrier # TH898

The Hullavator requires crossbars that extend past your raised rails, which is why it won't work with your factory roof rack, so the new rack is the only way to use it on your Lexus.

The only other thing I recommend considering are locks for the Hullavator, the Thule One-Key System Lock Cylinders - Qty 2 # TH450200.
