I just bought an '04 lx470 and would like to add a RTT for some family camping (FAM OF 4). I am likely going to get a 23zero or Tepui and I think they both weight about 150lbs. I have considered getting a full length rack, like a prinsu, but it seems like the RTT will likely take up the entire footprint and/or occupy a lot of weight on the roof, and if that is the case, why spend the extra money. Since I plan on leaving the RTT mounted most of time, should I:
1. use factory rails (assuming they can handle the load) - not sure
2. just buy some stronger load bars that are cheaper than a full rack - rhino / thule etc; or
3. buy the full rack because it is had more advantages?
I am newb so I am trying to figure out the best use of resources and use others experience!
TIA!
