I think it's for more floorspace and different types of attachment points to secure gear to the rack. I bought it because it fits between the OEM rails and for the full floor versus crossbars. I think there are better options for more functional racks that have a ton of accessories and purpose...

here are some pics. the aluminum L-Track in the center is something I added later, it's not part of the roof rack from Westcott

Installed on my roof rack an L-Track for strap down rings to secure rooftop storage boxes. I have some Zarges boxes to carry my gear and the track and rings make strapping them on the roof so easy. The rings are quick mount and moveable to fit any configuration I need.

here it is: https://www.kaon.com.au/lc200-rear-seat-delete

Did a 3rd row seat delete and installed tie down brackets for when I load in my gear boxes and strap them down all nice and tight. Rattling and shifting gear drives me crazy! The brackets are from a company called Kaon.

Got some work done on a new to me 2018 LC200. Step sliders & skid plates (Slee), roof rack (westcott design), OME BP51 suspension (1.5 inch lift), Icon 17 inch wheels and Toyo open country 285/70/17 tires. All work done at Slee except for the roof rack, I installed that myself

thanks everyone for the answers, much appreciated. I learned a lot more about buying used LC's. I'm passing on this particular LC because of other major issues with it...totally unrelated to the question I asked here.

Great looking build, I PM'd earlier today, , have a few questions for you. Thanks a ton!

Thank you for that info Sandroad. I didn't even catch the rear airbags because I was focused on the goop! I'll have to call and ask about the airbags. Other pics show mods like sliders, Ikon wheels, and an ARB roof rack.

Got some pictures of a 2018 LC200 for sale in Montana, I got pictures of the frame and underbody. In some parts of the pictures I can see clean black frame but then other parts looks like they're covered in something. Is it protective coating or something bad like corrosion? I can't go see...

Good lord, that is a gorgeous build. GLWTS which i hope is quick for you...but selfishly I'd love to see it around when I'm ready to buy!

good point. it's not the kids, they're grown...but....my mother in law struggles to get into my 4R TRD pro so something that lowers would be nice for her. The concept of AHC is growing on me as i learn more about it. I want the purchase decision to solve for this: which vehicle is more cost...

That's good info about the LX because I DO want a roof rack. I'm lucky that I live just a few miles from both Gobi and Slee, so my plan is to ultimately get a Gobi roof rack and then bumpers and sliders from Slee.

Great point about sitting in a recent one. Haven't been in one since 2012 or so. I have a friend that bought a 2021 LC so I'm going to borrow it for a day.

Thanks for that info. I have a lot to learn so i'm going to start searching threads and figuring this out. Thanks to everyone that responded, I appreciate it.
