Question:
Howdy. I am helping you can help me put together a roof rack system for either a basket or a platform, the primary purpose of which would be use of a soft roof storage bag. The vehicle is a 2022 Lexus GX with flush not raised factory installed roof rails w/o cross bars. I would be looking for flush not overhang cross bars if I go that route. I am looking for suggestions on a package. It is important that installation is simple and can be done at home without drilling. Thanks!

Hey Jeff, thanks for reaching out!
I've got one roof rack that works for your 2022 Lexus GX and it's the Yakima SkyLine FX Roof Rack for Fixed Mount Points # Y23YD. This doesn't require drilling, but it does require the removal of your flush mount rails, and Yakima has great instructions that show how to do this.
Then for a basket on top of the roof rack I recommend the Yakima LoadWarrior # Y07070. This has a really easy mounting system and can accommodate up to 39" long x 37" wide spacing of cargo inside the basket.
What are your thoughts on this type of setup?
