Overlander roofrack conversion

[BBB Junior Member Find all posts View Profile Close BBB]

I have an Overlander roofrack I kept when I sold my old Jackaroo which is ~2.1m long by 1.2m wide. Just wandering how big the purpose built Overlander racks are for the Prado and whether I can adapt it to a 120 series I plan to buy in the near future? I notice most of the ones around I see are like 3/4 length maybe because the front roof anchor points seem to be a bit further back on the Prado compared to my old Jackaroo. Is anyone carrying a rack this size on their Prado and if so how did you support the front end without having a big overhang due to the anchor points so far back?
Cheers

Re: Overlander roofrack conversion

I have a Rhino Roof Rack, 1860 mm x 1320 mm for my 2008 GXL D4D. It has 3 HD roof rails. It overhangs the first rail by 310 mm at the front and the third rail by 180 mm at the back. It might be asking a bit much to any more on the front than this.
