Rhino platform with light bar

[Two89w Member Find all posts View Profile Close Two89w]

I have a 1928mm long rhino platform on the rhino two crossbar set up and I am going to put a 50 inch double row Stedi light bar on the front off it.

The platform overhangs the front crossbar by 570mm and the weight of the light bar concerns me a bit. I bolted the lightbar on for a trial fit and there is slight movement of the light as the platform flexes.

Anyone else have a similar set up and find the same problem? How did you fix the problem?

Go for a test run and see what it does vibration wise. If it is annoying, then remove the roof rails and mount the platform directly to the roof.

Can you convert a non backbone platform to a backbone type?

yes, just purchase the backbone mounting kit, most platforms are predrilled to suit many fitments.

Depends. If it is an SX platform, then the 2 cross bars needs to be swapped to 3 half height crossbars.

If it wasn't an SX platform, then it is a more straightforward shift of the 3 crossbars if moving between 120 and 150 Prados or no shifting at all if on the same series Prado.
