Gday,
We recently picked up a 2016 trend and we're in the market for roof racks. What brands are people choosing to go with?
Thoughts?
Cheers,
Tom80

Hi Tom80
I have rhino backbone system with rhino platform. Very happy with it so far. I can fit 5 bikes up top with a awning and shovel.
Adrian.

About the backbone - did they need to remove the ceiling to access the roof from underneath? If so, is there any noticeable marks as a result?
Roughly how much did it cost by the time all the accessories were added?
I'm in Sydney - if anyone can offer info on a good installer.
Thanks
Tim

Thanks Tim Hi Tim my backbone was installed in melb but yes you dou have to drop the lining down apparently a pain in the arse job mine cost about $450 to install takes about six hours they had to change the arial to fit under the platform I believe they damaged the passenger side handle the one the wife hangs on to when 4 wheeling ford replaced under warranty. |

I had a bad experience with rhino roof bars moving a sheet of checker plate aluminum in a light weight wooden frame. a short gust of wind from the side ripped the roof bars clean off. Fortunately no damage but l wouldn't trust them again. A 4mm lip grip is not sufficient in my mind. In my old Prado they were bolted down. Clamped on racks can't be trusted.
Cheers

Thanks for that. I am very conscious of these mounts too. Max load of 100kg on the highway, 50kg for off-road makes planning essential, and execution critical. My supplier and I are looking at different mounts that bolt on, just not a fan of the rhino mounts...

Hi all,
I'm a proud new owner of an Everest Sport and am in the market for a roof platform. Have been considering the Rhino Pioneer setup but have read scathing reviews because of the wind noise. Has anyone experienced that?
I'd also prefer the SX feet as I want something that is quick and easy to remove given height issues.
Appreciate the views!

Damn coronavirus can't load it up and head out what bullbar is that you've got? I'm considering the standard nudge bar with a bar light, although like the look (and functionality) or yours. |
