I have a 2001 es300 and i want to get a ski rack, but dont want to drill any holes. Does anyone know how i can do this? I am asking because the ski racks i have seen seem like they wouldnt work with the es's frameless doors. Any help would be appreciated

 

I have never seen one available for this car... I looked way back out of curiosity and the search came up dry.

 

Crap, ski season is about to start and i will be driving down to ski country every weekend with 2 or emore people and fitting 3 people with 3 pairs of skiis in my car is an impossibility

 

^^ No its not.

We fit three sets in my buddy's old ES300 [1999] thru armrest. It wasn't an easy fit at first but moving the skis around makes it work with very little effort.

 

Hmm, i had enough problems with 2 i just assumed 2 would be hard, but will give it a try. Where i go in ellicotville is all hilly and roads are always in bad condition, the es300 is surprisingly stable, time to get snow tires and winterize this car again. I just looked it up and somethng called qtips might be able to help me out so i am going to look em up tomorrow

 

I think i found a possible ski rack called a sierra sx-11. It says its meant for vehicles without a roof rack and is meant only for skis heres a picture on a civic http://rackattacktoronto.files.wordp...ic-us-2871.jpg

 

I got a used barracaster sierra sx-11 ski rack for 50 dollars and while it doesn't sit completey flush, it is stable and snug and seems like it will work well. there is an increas of windnoise though. Will have pics up soon

 

 

I saw that and it was like 500 from yakima shipped since i don't have an authorized dealer around me, all people sell here is thule. I got another one and pics are in my other thread

 

But i will say this, the es looks surprisingly good with a ski rack, ive already used mine to cary 4 pairs of skis to get sharpened and waxed

 

Wow!!! that Yak rack looks Awsome. I just bought a 1999 ES300 with 61,000 miles last month and cant wait to put my yak rack on.. Will let you know how it looks and i will post a picture. I have had my yak rack for 17 years. I have already bought the Q clips and i am waiting for my father to get home from his trip so i can get into his basement to get my rack.. If ANYONE is in need of a Rack GO with Yakima.. They are the best and have anything and everything that you will need for it. Thule is a good rack but they dont have a lot of accessories for there racks. If you want a rack system that will last get a Yakima Rack. I am new to this club and i am excited to own my first Lexus...

 

Here is the first picture of my car i have posted and i FINALLY got the Yak rack on it... I think it looks Really nice.!!! Waiting to find a White NY for the Yankees to put on the other side of the faring!!!!!

 

It looks great with a yakima rack. Problem at the time was when i was looking was that no one here sold yakima, just thule, not only that they were asking 700 fr a yakima rack shipped. I got a barracasters rack for like 50 bucks and woks perfectly for what i need it for

 

Grey...
On your rack can you carry other gear like bikes? Or are you purely a skier? I mountain bike and camp so i guess they saying is that you buy what you need. I will post more pics after it stops snowing. But this car is SO CLEAN... I really did get lucky with it

I just ski, well ski golf and hockey, but everything else i can keep in the trunk, and thats the main reason i didn't really a pursue a yakima rack was because i only needed something for skiis since i always carry at least 3 pairs when i go skiing and yes es300's are great cars, specially one with low miles like yours does
