Hello all, someone near me is selling a new GX550 roof rack. Will this fit on a 1958? Do I need roof rails as well?
Thanks In advance.

Yes, it will. I just sold mine to a LC owner. You will need rails and the rails are interchangeable as well. If you do not have rails mine are coming off my GX in two weeks. I live in San Diego, but I'm sure you can find a pair There is a you tube video on how to install and remove. Its pretty easy.

It be for sale with the rails. I am going to check it out.
Every roof rack has a wind noise issue, it’s disrupting the flow of air over your roof, no matter if it has a front valence or not, it’s going to add wind noise

My 1958 needs roof rails in order to install the GX550 roof rack.
I have a GX that came with the roof rack. The noise wasn't bad at all, but I sold it because I'm getting the Westcott Design full rack along with the stock rock rails. I will be removing the rails when the new roof rack is installed which is in two weeks. If you still have no rails by then send me a note. BTW, I sold my roof rack to a LC owner. I think it looks great on the LC
Did you install? Would love to see some pics if so. Also how bads the noise?
Wow looks so good. How has your experience been with noise at high speeds? I imagine there’s gonna be some, but is it pretty managable?
