Looking to add a roofrack to my Tuna as Doctor V 2.0 is arriving one of these days
Now started doing some research and looking for something strong and durable, coz everything that I leisurely throw in the car, now needs to be relocated topside. And living in Cape Town means stainless!
The rack will most probably carry a canvas tent/extension, poles, solar panel,few ammo boxes, water tank/jerries, wood.....!
Looking at prices it seems I will have to fork out a few pennies. Suggestions on best prices, service etc in Cape Town area? Contacts etc.
Win-win would be you having one gathering dust and willing to part with it :

Pricey item at the best of times, Van. I like the FrontRunner, robust and sturdy construction and the slats are wide. The channel in each slat lets you fit as many 8mm eye-bolts in whatever positions you like. You can also fit your awning to it if you get the 'WindCheetah' model with the 80mm side rails.
When your road comes to an end ...... you need a HILUX!.

It's not about waiting for storms to pass. It's about learning to dance in the rain.
And be yourself ..... everyone else is taken!
