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.

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.

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.
