Default Yakima on LS460 what?!


Ok I've look all over the web to see if anyone had a yakima roof rack on an LS and found nothing. So for those who want to see how it would look like in our Ls460 I was you're test subject. Was never into roof racks but got two carbon fiber road bikes and needed a way to transport them so this is what I did.

Curtis hitch is made for LS 430 but not 460. Roof is the only way to haul your goodies.

For sure! If you ever need clips they are the q130 and you can get it from Amazon if you have prime it comes the next day literally!

Yea I've looked into them as well. Yakima is just a well respected brand and while installing it it lives up to its hype. Quality is spot on for sure. But that's why its little on the pricey side

I've never seen a roof rack on a LS 460 but I've seen one on a Bentley coupe carrying bikes in Yosemite.

I was thinking about making something I could put in where the tow hooks go in the bumper. I was going to buy two tow hooks and build a platform across the both of them, then weld a bike rack onto it. Other people have done something similar with other cars...I think I've seen a Porsche before.
