Replacing LX470 Roof Rack? (7 Viewers)

[willc]

I’ve noticed the lx470 roof rack is a bit shorter than the LC. I’m not wanting to do anything extreme with the roof, but would like to carry a paddle board or a kayak (10-13ft) easily up there.

Would it be more prudent to get a prospeed/Gamiviti style rack or would it be better to get a Yakima 3 bar set up?

This is a daily driver, so my priorities are fitting in the garage, as low as possible wind noise, and as low as possible hassle factor.

I have searched, but haven’t seen anything that addresses the lx stubby roof rack and the preferred replacement.

Any recommendations welcomed and appreciated.

Hi @willc

Same being daily driver and was looking for solution Tha allows me to fit in the garage and also in these tiny little underground garages in Europe - hate'em

The best solution I got and thanks to this forum here is with the Rhino Rack and using the LOW feet. The rack is I would say not higher than original.

I do have an Alu Cab 270 awning mounted and my LC is in AHC position low 207cm high in total. This is great solution.

Haven't found anything lower.

Choosing the right rack is really individual based on your priorities. I also mount my SUP on top using straps. With the new Rhino Rack generation this is easy to install using the "O" screws.

It's the Rhino Rack RCL legs I use together with the Rack Gen with Zwiflock.

on the Rhino Rack site it doesn't say the low legs are compatible with the 100. Do you have a link to the feet you made work?
