200 and LX 570 Roof Rack Photos or Options (1 Viewer)

@linuxgod I've been reading your setup and usage of Gamiviti Expo++ rack and curious how the powder-coated steel rack has held up over the years (since 2016)? Are you having to touch up any surface rust spots or perform any preventive maintenance to keep it at top shape? I love the design and the usefulness of Gamiviti rack but I am debating if I should go with an aluminum rack so I don't have to worry about the extra weight of steel and rust over the years. BTW, do you know the approx? weight of your Gamiviti Expo++ rack?
Other Gamiviti owners, please share your experience.
Thank you~

I don’t charge (just shipping) for take-off stock OE LC200 Roof rails and x-bars for LX guys or anyone that wants extra x-bars. Just PM me if needed. Same with 4Runner

i could really use a set, and don’t mind throwing you some extra for my 2013 LX. Possible?

Great looking Rack. I am stuck between a FrontRunner and a Rhino Rack. What was the main reason you went with a Rhino Rack? What is wind noise like?

I like how the backbone looks.

View attachment 1459264 The GOBI is awesome, front runner should also be considered.

The feet suck, but I love my rack for hauling large heavy construction materials all the time. Aluminum worried me.

Mine is a Baja Rack, there are some negative issues with my rack but I have been very happy.

I needed a heavy metal platform and it works very well for my purposes.

Which Baja rack did you go with?

If anyone has more pros/cons on the Rhino Rack please share them.

Eric, did the AluCab ShadowAwn clear the rear hatch? Was anything done to make that happen?

I made a deal for the same Awning that’s mounted to the AluCab RTT. Both will be going on as a single unit to RhinoRack Vortex cross bars in the next week or so. I’m suddenly quite worried about being able to open the rear hatch.

I supposed removing them rear spoiler is always an option, but IMO that’s a last measure step and one is rather not take.

Many thanks to you @Eric Sarjeant and Lincoln for the 200 rails. Now I have another project queued up for the LX.

I really like the rhino. But I love the frontrunner. Had one on my tundra held up and served it purpose. A friend will not keep his rhino on his sequio cause of wind noise. I went with full frontrunner on my 570 and zero wind noise. Very pleased. I did buy the wind deflector. Can't go wrong with either one. Due to weight I love aluminum.

B, I do.

Flat, Expo or Lo-Pro basket or any combo in between.You'd want the Flat or Expo to use with a RTT and I'll customize to your liking as well.

As always, free shipping to the lower 48 to a business address.

Here's the Lo-Pro basket for 8 mounts.

Can anyone confirm or deny the Typical 1-2 MPG loss from adding a roof rack? A prinsu to be specific?

i didn't see any different with my Gamiviti rack with the fairing installed

my mileage sucks now and I'm sure the maxtrax, rotopax, shovel, etc on my rack doesn't help, but the rack itself didn't seem to matter

 

[Broncobroke]

With my Frontrunner rack it did drop a little bit. Once I added aluminum skids and slee's sliders it running about 14.9.

Yes, although the front and rear bumpers, winch, sliders, drawers, fridge, and all our stuff may have contributed as well.

 

[1world1love]

I should add that I have a FrontRunner with a fairing, but I suspect that it should be close in weight to the Prinzu.

I know there are other people that have, but I was never able to manage 14.9 even without all the mods. Even driving conservatively.

Before I started changing things 16 sometimes 17. I was very surprised. This is all off the vehicle's gauge. I haven't bothered yet with hand calculations. We will see where it ends up. I plan on towing a small trailer so it is what it is.
