Rhino Rack Pioneer Tray - which size did you buy and why?

[Guest Close Guest]

I thought that the roof rails can support 80kg??

Correct the rails as per the manual are rated to 80kg.
it is the rack and bars that are rated to 75kg.

So whats the limit of you remove the rails and install 3 cross bars?

100kg. 3 HD cross bars weigh 7.5kg. So you are left with 92.5kg.

That is including the feet, yes? I have the HD bars on currently and the huge Rhino 42107B is blocking the view out of the patio door atm. That has a net weight of 12kg printed on the box. So 100 - 12 - maybe 4kg for the feet leaves a payload of about 84kg. That would still be enough for the 71kg three person roof tent I'm targeting. I'm just not sure if it is really wise to put nearly 100kg on such a high platform.

I went with the shorter 1528mm one and couldn't be happier. I mainly use it for surfboards and most of the time could get away with just rails but when I hit the beach I like to have the sand tracks on the roof as well. I'm hoping there will also be room for a solar panel at a later date. The boards fit really well on the shorter rack and the only pain was having to source a set of rails as I've gone with the GX model and the rails are needed for this platform.

I have the shorter tray on the factory rails, works well. I carry a half size rhino luggage bag, all the fishing rods, camping chairs, tent, awning poles and gas cylinder up there no problems. I have no intention of getting a rooftop tent so I didn't need the larger one.

My Toyota bars are exactly the same as the Rhino Vortex SX bars supplied with the SXB platform, have already checked this with the roof rack place. The SX legs can be bought via Toyota Spare parts for around $50 if you need them, Rhino charge $130 LOL.

Got a part number for the Toyota SX legs? The parts department I'm speaking to are shaking their heads and saying "never heard of them..."

According to the Rhino website, the 42107B weighs 27.5kg.

Hey mate, l have just returned from a trip out to Birdsville/Innamincka and back to Brisbane and I have got the 1928x1236 and I carried swags, shovel, awning and plenty of firewood on mine without a problem.

Is it possible to fit any of the slightly wider models to a Prado 150? Eg is see there is a model 42103B that is 1928 x 1376, which is 140mm wider than the "recommended" 1236mm that shows up on the website as being compatible with the Prado 150. But is it possible to fit these wider models? I ask because I'm looking at occasionally carrying a lightweight car topper dinghy that is very slightly wider than 1236mm. Also, is the positioning of this platforms "set"? IE is there any flexibility in the fore/aft placement as I need this to be located aft to slide the boat on from the rear. The Pioneer Roller looks handy to assist with this plan.

Width shouldnt be a problem, my feet attach to the 3 cross bars not the frame so assuming these are common to all platforms it would work. I fitted a 45107 Rack to mine which lines up pretty well where the roof ends at the rear door. I could move its position for or aft by re-drilling the mounting locations on the frame and moving the cross bars.

has anyone removed there rhino legs after there been fitted for along time? I'm just wondering does the dust/grit get between the rhino legs and the paint work and leave marks or wear out paint were the legs have been fitted ?

They do leave a bit of a flat mark on the paint but a quick hit with some polish completely removed the marks on the bro in laws 150, the feet had been fitted for 4yrs and we took them off 3mths ago.
