I don't believe Yakima has released a fixpoint system for the 4G yet. I too, am anxiously waiting for these - I spoke to my local dealer (Rack Attack) and they were saying it'll probably be a few months at a minimum before Yakima releases something for our trucks that mounts to the pre-drilled holes.
In the meantime, I'm exploring the option of just making a custom mount for a 6063 1.5"x3" extrusion. I've got a trip planned for next month and really just need a set of bars to transport our kayak.... but really don't want to get a full roof rack to do so.

Fast forward to summer 2025 and the Yakima configurator still says BaseLine and BaseLine FX only. Their lookup tool seem to recognize the threaded mounts but doesn't load LaunchPads or SkyLine for me. The idea is to also reuse my round bars.
Sherpa cross bars and mounts are interesting but I wonder if they make much wind noise. No quick release like Yakima towers have.
I'm in the same boat with an old set of skyline towers. I have what was known as a 'stornco adapter' that was machined by some dude for FJ cruisers to make them fit. I was thinking about messing around with it and seeing if I could get lucky and use the same adapter for my Taco + the skyline.
Kinda hesitant to go tearing things up though.
