factory roof rack differences
I must have been taking a nap, does anyone know when the factory roof racks went from 6 attach points to 4 on the roof, or is it an LX vs. TLC thing?
And, does is matter? Many thanks in advance. __________________ ------------------------------- Herman Stude KE5HJK No longer owner of Blue FJ60 or Tan FJ40 1996 LX450, Hellroaring BIC, etc. 1997 Cruiser currently stock 1973 Land Rover 88 1964 Land Rover 109 regular, soft top |

I think they went back to 6 in 2003. And then the LX's were 6 from 98-99 and then 2000+ went to 4.
AFAIK, the roof is the same on all 100 but there are several (4 or 5) different sets of mounting holes. The trim pieces are different too. __________________ 98 LX470 85 BJ70 |

Huh, you're right. I just poked around Ebay until I found the first year for 4. Who'da thunk they went back to 6.

my 00 has 4 mounts, but there are 4 different mounting positions on each side, totaling 8. The 4 unused ones are where the six mount rack goes, both racks share the rear mounting positions.

Yup, also note, the 4 footed LX rack is shorter than the 4 footed LC rack. Excuse the wheels. I believe Lexus went from the longer 6 to the shorter 4 in an effort to reduce wind noise.

I gotta tell you guys, speaking of Roof Racks I am really enjoying my Inti Roof Rack I installed. I have been using it quite a bit around the house. Recently I have been tearing out the 30 year old kitchen cabinets etc and hauling the scrap away on the rack. Can't recommend getting a 'real' rack enough.
