@r2m thanks for the kind words! yes we can make a 3/4ish length rack for the GX460, same rack as our full length would just end right behind the sunroof. Your issue will be how to attach it at the front end though, since you wouldn't have any forward towers. My recommendation is just drill & add riv nuts, no different from any 4runner in that regard. but I suppose one could also not attach the forward towers, or tape them somehow. but again I'd suggest just get the drill out and do it right.

it would look a lot like the short rack we do for the 5th gen 4runner, only notable difference is it extends about 6" further back since the GX doesn't have that big wing thing on the hatch to accommodate. total length would be 61.25". here's a couple pics.

email/PM with questions, I don't always check on here every day. :cheers:

This is absolutely beautiful. I am pretty new to all this, so pardon the question:

What's the benefit of a shorter 3/4 or 1/2 rack vs full? Anything other than weight?

Just depends upon what-all you want to haul up there. Some people will layout an entire full rack with totes, boxes, jerry cans, etc. Some only need a shorter rack to carry less. I also believe it's a personal preference too, to what length of rack you like batter.
I don't believe there's an absolute answer. We needed full lenhth for the roof top tent. A shorter rack wouldn't have worked.
