Sizes

The K9 systems for the Lexus GX470 and GX460 (Prado 120 & 150) come in 1250mm (49") width, and 5 different lengths.  Far and away the most popular model is the 2.2M (87") long rack that starts a few inches behind the windshield and finishes an inch in front of the rear hatch.  This rack maximizes your roof top capacity.  This is the rack favored by our friends at Expedition Overland.  They have taken these racks, and all the gear they can fit on them, all over the Americas without so much as a squeak.  The 1.6M (62") version is a great choice if you want to maintain the use of your sunroof.  It starts just behind the sunroof and finishes an inch in front of the rear hatch.

Heights

The Lexus GX models use our standard height rack measures 5" high, from above the second row doors, measured at the pinch weld trim.  It uses 65mm tall feet, and allows enough room for options on the bottom of the platform. 

Capacity

Capacity of the K9 roof rack system is broken into two measurements, static weight and dynamic weight.  Static is when the vehicle is stationary.  Dynamic is when the vehicle is in motion.  We have not tested the K9 racks on vehicles to the point of roof failure.  We can tell you what we have tested ourselves effectively.  A dynamic capacity in the range of 500 pounds is possible.  That load included a RTT, awning, dual fuel can holder, aluminum storage case with recovery gear, shovel, axe, under mount table, light bar, etc on a 2.2M long rack.  A static capacity of 1000 pounds is possible.  An example of static load increase would be adding people in the tent on the roof.  Please understand these capacities are on vehicles that have modified suspensions designed to manage this amount of weight.  They are not a warrantied or guaranteed capacity.  Your load capacity will vary.

System Components

The components used on the Lexus GX rack systems include a pair of mounting rail, a set of K9 feet (2 per platform cross brace), and a platform.

System Accessories

The Eezi-Awn K9 Roof Rack System comes with a complete array of bolt on accessories.  Jerry Can holders, Axe mounts, Shovel mounts, Hi-Lift Mounts, Max Trax Mounts, Awning Mounts, Under Rack Table mounts, and much more.  Take a look at the accessories page to see all our options.

Thule & Yakima Compatible

The K9 Roof Rack is also the only overlanding rack on the market that is easily compatible with your existing Thule or Yakima sports bar mounts for bikes, kayaks, etc. With store-accessible 6mm hardware that attaches to the K9's perimeter, your hobbies won't become obsolete with your "old gear."

Yakima Models: Skyline Tower, Landing Pad 4

The K9 Roof Rack System is a welcome alternative to the cage-style racks that once defined the typical overland roof rack. It is sleek, understated, and complimentary to the aesthetics of vehicles new and old. It is most importantly, remarkably robust, an attribute we would naturally expect from the engineers at Eezi-Awn.

Feet vs Legs

The K9 Roof Rack Kit comes with various components. The Mounting Rail is compatible with Gutter-Less Roofs, like those found on the Toyota 4Runner, Tacomas, or 100 / 200 Series Land Cruisers. K9 Roof Rack Feet are then attached to that Mounting Rail. When there is a vehicle with a Gutter, we use K9 Roof Rack Legs.

The K9 Roof Rack Feet come in 3 basic sizes: 40mm / 2.5", 65mm / 3.25", and 90mm / 4". Each of these feet do have a height adjustment range, measuring from the top of the mounting rail vertically to the top of the foot where the platform attaches. At first glance, the available sizes are in the middle of their ranges; this is because Eezi-Awn uses their middle measurement height as the identifier.

40mm (2.5") height range 55-65mm (2.25" - 2.5") 65mm (3.25") height range 75-90mm (3" - 3.5") 90mm (4") height range 95-115mm (3.75" - 4.5")

The K9 Roof Rack Legs are all measured from the bottom of the leg that sits in the gutter, vertically to the top of the leg where the platform attaches. Each size has 15mm, or a little over 0.5" of height range upward from the listed height.

150mm (6") height range 150-165mm (6" - 6.5") 170mm (6.75") height range 170-185mm (6.75" - 7.25") 190mm (7.5") height range 190-205mm (7.5" - 8") 210mm (8.25") height range 210-225mm (8.25" - 8.75") 230mm (9") height range 230-245mm (9" - 9.5") 250mm (9.75") height range 250-265mm (9.75" - 10.25") 300mm (11.75") height range 300-315mm (11.75" - 12.25")

No Drilling

The K9 Roof Rack System for the Lexus GX requires no drilling at all for any size rack.  Our proprietary mounting rail mounts right over the roof pinch weld trim and utilizes the OEM roof rack mounting points.

Installation

Installation of this rack system can be done by one person in approximately 1-1/2 hours.  Help lifting the platform on the roof would be appreciated.  You start by removing the factory roof rack, then attach the K9 mounting rail to the roof, followed by a full set of feet, and finally a platform on top.  Please see our Roof Rack Installation 101 video for more in depth explanation.  Written instructions are also provided with each rack system. 

Note:  The newer GX460 models with factory rack systems that are flush against the roof, will require the purchase of several pinchweld trim pieces from Toyota.  The Eezi-Awn K9 racks are designed to mount the mounting rail on top of this trim.  They are standard on the Toyota Prado version of this vehicle, but not necessary under the factory rack on the Lexus version.  The Toyota part number is 75555-60020.  You will need a quantity of 4.  Some trimming may be necessary.

SIGNATURE

We offer Free Domestic Shipping on these items to a commercial address. Roof Top Tents will require a loading dock or fork lift or a freight terminal close by for pick up. Roof Racks will require the ability to receive a large platform box; however Rack Feet and Rack Rail can be shipped to your residence. If you order a tent or rack from our website, contact us by phone or email and we will work with you to secure the most economical delivery of your product we can.

If you do not make this denotation, you are responsible for all related fees and potentially the original shipping charge.
