PRE-ASSEMBLY
Required Components:
- 6x 1/4”-20 x 1/2”
- 6x 1/4” Flat Washers
- 6x Tnuts
Drop 6 tnuts into the slots on the cross member and line them up with the
holes in the fairing. Secure with 6 bolts and washers.
Required Components:
- 12x 1/4”-20 x 5/8”
- 12x 1/4” Flat Washers
- 12x 1/4” Tnuts
- Secure top of the mounting brackets to the three main cross members.
- Leave the hardware that attaches the mount to the crossbar loose. This will make it easier when centering the bars later.
Mounting Instructions
-
Required Components:
- 12x M8 Bolts
- 12x M8 Flat Washers
- Next, install the three sets of mounting brackets. Align the rubber spacers with the factory holes in your roof gutter. The thin side of the rubber should be positioned towards the center of the vehicle.
- Position the mounting bracket over the rubber spacer and secure it with 10 bolts and bonded washers passed through the bracket, rubber, and into the holes in the roof.
- Note : The LC100 and Lexus LX470 have two different front mounting configurations based on model and trim. The front mounts are designed to use the front most set of holes.
The bonded washers should compress and become flat, but not concave. Do not over tighten these mounts.

Required Components:
- 12x 1/4”-20 x 1”
- 12x 1/4” Flat Washers
- After the main support cross members have been secured to the vehicle, you can use a tape measure and center all of the bars on the vehicle. We recommend measuring from the inside edge of the mount to the outside face of the crossbar.
- Once all the bars are centered, install the side plates. Align the small slots in the rack side with the ends of the main support cross members. Secure it using 12 bolts and washers. Leave the bolts loose enough to move the sideplate to the position that matches the curve of the vehicle.
- Once the rack is positioned correctly, tighten down all of the hardware for the rack sides, mounting hardware and roof track bolts.
