Post by KrokODell »

Hi fellas

What roofracks are available to fit the steeltop canopy (2014 model Hilux).

Looking at buying a second hand one.

Thank you

You could adapt any RR to fit quite easily. Problem is that the commercially available aluminium ones are on the pricey side, even 2nd hand, and then you might not have what would ideally suit you and your needs. So a nice option if you can weld is to make one up yourself to suit your requirements and have it hot-dip galvanised. :winkx:

You can find Frontrunner roof racks 2nd hand on the likes of Facebook Marketplace/Gumtree etc for really good prices, last year I picked up a rack, with 3 gas bottle brackets, double Jerry can bracket and budget awning for R4000
