What Roof Rack Do You Recommend For My 2009 Lexus GX 470 If I Want To Carry A Nest Falcon Tent

Question:

2009 Lexus GX 470 + Nest Falcon 140# or Falcon XL 160# load Stock roof rack won’t work for two reasons. Cross bars are recessed and it is only rated to 130. Does etrailer offer anything that will support this roof top tent on this vehicle?

You can attach a roof rack to the raised rails of your factory rack. The dynamic weight limit of the rack will be 165 lbs. The rack will consist of the following items:

Thule WingBar Evo Crossbars - Aluminum - Black - 47" Long - Qty 2, part # TH711220
Evo Raised Rail Feet for Thule Crossbars - Factory Raised Rails - Qty 4, part # TH710401
Thule One-Key System Lock Cylinders - Qty 4, part # TH450400.

Once this roof rack is installed you can carry the Nest Falcon or the Nest Falcon XL on the roof of your Lexus GX 470. I have included product description links and video review links below.
