We are working on getting a GX-460 in house for rack and ladder build. I will not be able to answer your question until that time. I don’t currently have a time line on when the vehicle will be in but I expect some time this summer.
good point on the pop up window glass... didn’t even think about this...

that GX they are working to get in house is probably mine. i have been trying to work with them but they are kind of un-realistic. they want to keep my car for 30 days to measure and build a rack. that is not possible for me to leave my car for this long.
i think i am going to go the front runner route and not use Gobi for my GX.
^ yeah there are people who wanted a side mounted ladder... even more on the gx470 side. There’s a market for everything/everyone.
Personally, I’m going for the rear mounted folding ladder he’s making.
Side ladder may create whistling... and easy to cause more damage if something happened to pull the ladder... I don’t get it... rear version is a lot better... may need to optimize a little bit. Eg the screw on top. I understand that’s for the rear window but way too complicated. Should be able to be replaced by a latch or something. And the top section can be fold down, but only half way? In all, genius... at least a very promising prototype. May consider to get it...

I agree, that top screw is a bad design. I do not open my rear window enough to care though. a pin or some latching system would be better.
if the price is right I will pick one up. I never realized how much I loved using one on my 4runner until I no longer had one
