  • Aluminium Roof Racks

    Hi All,

    I am currently thinking about getting an aluminium roof rack for my GXL wagon and I would like to hear from anyone who has purchased one. Without wanting to offend anyone....I'm not interested in a steel rack or a Rhino Rack set up, just a full size roof rack made from aluminium.

    Any info (Brand, size) and pictures would be much appreciated.

    Thanks.

    Neale.

    Define full size - 1.8m, 2.0m 2.2m?
    What are you putting on the roof rack?
    What weight are you putting up there?
    Why aren't you interested in Rhino Racks?

    Some suggestions:
    ARB alloy rack
    Windcheetah Front Runner
    RhinoRack Pioneer alloy platform
    RhinoRack alloy tray

      Not interested in a Rhino Rack because - I already have one left over from my old Patrol and don't like the look of them on the car- I prefer the look of a black coloured rack against my white car (I have a black b/bar).

      What weight? spare wheel and black widow tent and sundries, I tow a camper trailer and use the rack to carry thinks like these and the camp chairs.

      I have seen the ARB racks and like them, but don't like the price, so am interested if anyone has a different brand?

        The Windcheetah is black. You can also powder coat or anodise any rack black if needed and still meets budget.

          You could try the fella ar www.roofcage.com I spoke to him about 6 months ago and he custom makes everything to order. He hadn't made one for the 150 as he didnt have the measurements when i spoke to him. his contact details are on his web page and he delivers all over the country.

          I would be interested to know if has made one up for the 150 as well.

          Anyway worth a call.
