How to make a DIY roof rack on a Lexus GX - already equipped with cross rails - for which you only need to create the crossbars. Let's see how to do it with minimal cost.

Take measurements of the roof and start by removing the trim covers of the side rails that the vehicle comes with as standard; then cut a series of shelf profiles to the size of the roof. Now assemble your roof rack on the floor, putting it together with "L" joints and bolts.

To secure the roof rack to the bars, use some supports, as shown in the video. All that's left is to paint it, and then you can install it according to your needs, considering that the vehicle also has a sunroof.

The total cost did not exceed $200.
