What brand of roofrack??

Post by Doctor V »

Looking to add a roofrack to my Tuna as Doctor V 2.0 is arriving one of these days :yahoo: :yahoo:

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.....! :shock:

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 : :laugh2: :laugh2: :laugh2:

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!.
