Gamiviti Roof Rack Installation for 100 Series Land Cruiser (Lexus LX470)

Tim Nakari, owner and founder of ‪@gamiviti4828‬ was courteous enough to trade an Essential Expo roof rack for my 100 series Lexus LX in exchange for some video and photo work. In this video I detail the installation of it on my vehicle. The principles and practices apply to any make and model, however, and can therefore be followed for quality installation.

The kit is packed extremely well - built just as tough as the rack it protects.

Tim's 'Essential Expo' racks are often times ready-to-ship which cuts down lead times significantly. There are many other options for customization for a Gamiviti rack so be sure to check out his website for more details.

In the video I mentioned the small imperfections in the powder coat. These are purely from manufacturing practices. Powder coated steel must be strung up by conductive material in order for the metal to be charged. Make sure to find those locations for touch-ups. 20:58

*After testing and a weekend out wheeling, I can honestly say that the rack receivers rattle more than a pissed off snake in the desert. A bit disappointing.
