I just got my first 100 series...a 1 owner 2001 LX470. I have a Defender roof rack from an old 45LV.It fastened by gutter mounts. I have contacted rack sellers and cannot seem to buy the rack supports by themselves for a 100 series. Anyone here have diagram/design/measurements, so I can fabricate prior to taking the rails apart? Would buy a set of 4 also if you can point me to the right direction.

Attached is the required picture.


Oh, 1 owner
All records and complete maintenance.
New tires and new transmission 15,000 miles ago

$5,000.....sorry for that :)

Congrats and hopefully you will get the items you need to keep the rack.

Good looking LX, I always love silver. Looks even better with snow on it, :D
 
Been there....am doing that.

Basically, 1) will remove factory rack, 2) purchased outdated AO 100 series roof rails (thank you Slee), 3) purchased stand-alone thule fake gutters off Amazon, 4) will use washers to biuld up from AO longitudinal rails to gutter simulators to compensate for changes in roof elevations, 5) will fab spacer blocks once I know the correct elevations.

Like you, am in process of getting my semi-ghetto thule based rack (from my rain-guttered 60) to interface w. 100 series....pretty much a pain in %^s, but relatively easy to do (in concept).
