Rigid A-Series LED lights bolt right up to Ben’s rack. Just drilled out the housing for the larger bolt.
That's awesome! I've been wanting to install some adjustable LEDs that fit in the smaller oblong cutouts or camp lights. Haven't found any that fit the bill yet.

I couldn't be more pleased with this rack. It is exactly as advertised, and the install was straight forward. @benc was great to work with and answered all of my questions. Just follow the install thread here on Mud and it goes together in a few hrs (at least for me). Various pics below.
Here is the link for the tie-down rings you see, give Paul over at Equipt some business: Eezi-Awn 8mm Tie Downs
Also, I used 3M Marine Grade Silicone on the mounts: 3M Silicone

All loaded for a big family campout.
Those with the racks is there enough room to wash the top of your vehicle?
There's enough room to slide a wash mitt/sponge under the crossbars. It's definitely more time consuming to wash and dry the roof with the Dissent than with the OE rack, but I think it's well worth it.
If you have the full rear spoiler (lx 470) and sattelite radio antenna will that interfere with the rear of the rack?
I have the same question as AggieCruiser.
How quick and easy is it to install the high rise awning mounts to this rack?
I am thinking of installing them just before trips and taking them off so I can park it inside the garage. It definitely won't fit in my garage with them installed.

Will the rack fit an LX470 with its large whale tail rear spoiler? Also, Can the side rails be ordered unfinished so it can be powder coated a different color? Pricing please?
Hi Ben,
My LX is in the shop getting new suspension. I should have it back tomorrow and can send you some picks. The Sat antennae is low profile but may be blocked by your racks rear fairing. BTW- I hope my front and rear bumpers are in the cue for welding
Can't wait to get them on my LX!

Yes it will fit. It's close but when properly aligned there is about 1/8" on both sides. Unfortunately it has been a major pia to get them uncoated due to the incompetence of the shop doing the manufacturing, I can do it but unfortunately there will likely be extended lead time and cost.
Thanks.
Ben,
Ben, Here are some pics of my rig before it went in for the suspension. When I get it back, I'll send you some close up pics of the rear spoiler, and Sat antenna.

Hi Ben, I understand, I would assume I can have the side rails re-powder coated locally?
