  • I really like my Rhino rack especially the way everything can be accessed without untying the lot.
    Despite comments to the contrary I am still able to wash the roof of the vehicle.
    I have drawers in the back and I can get onto the roof by standing on the top of the drawers and kneeling onto the rack
    Heres a pic of ours loaded for our trip this week..........

      Hi Jamies,

      I am getting a pioneer platform with backbone system and a 2.5m awning next week.

      What size platform and awning do you have? I'm trying to get a gauge of size on the roof of my 150.

      • Hi 2016VX,
        I have a 2.5m x 2.5m awning and it is a nice size and fit
        Cheers

        • Does the backbone system require drilling on the 150?

          Doesn't look like it, but just want to check before I order it. It will actually be going on a GX460 if that makes a difference.

          Thanks for any help!

            I have just upgraded the awning to 2.5M x 3M and it is even better as the extra 1/2M allows you to get further away from the car

            • Hi nick, no drilling required to fit the backbone itself, but i had to drill holes in the 2128mm long pioneer platform so it would fit to the backbone. See drilling instructions here:

              Cheers

              • I didn't bother to drill mine when I fitted it. I only put bolts through the rear mounting holes, but it is still secure due to the cross bars and other bolts etc.

                • So you just rely on the plastic clips to hold your platform to the crossbars..... sounds really dangerous to me.

                  Imagine the entire platform flying off the top of your vehicle on the highway, you could quite possibly kill somebody.

                  Just because you couldn't be bothered drilling 4 holes.

                  • it is still secure as the cross bars are bolted to the backbone, interlocked to the rack & bolted down the centre of the rack. Plus it has bolts between the outside lip of the rack and at the rear cross bar in position R4 i think it was.

                    • Just a quick question for you all! I’m looking at the backbone system, however I have a rooftop tent that needs to be secured from underneath the roof rack/rail. Is it high enough off the roof to be able to get a hand and tool underneath the front and back of the rack?

                      Cheers.

                        Hey Ben,

                        Welcome to PradoPoint!

                        Yes, there is enough room to get underneath the rack. I'm SEQLD/Northern GC myself, so if you want to have a look at it in person, shoot me a PM.

                        Regards,
