Pioneers platform fitted. Looks really good.
Hello Broughan, I agree it looks really good indeed.
Can I ask you please for the details, part number/size/dimensions.
I understand that there are a couple of options with length, and someone has told me that they experienced quite a bit of wind noise with the biggest size of Pioneer Platform that is available for the Prado...UI'm not sure but yours looks like the next smaller size, and that's the one I think I would like to get...is there much wind noise when driving at highway speed with an unladen platform.
kind regards,

[QUOTE=Brougham;531115]Mine is the 1950x1240mm ish platform. Didn't notice any noise at 100km/hr
Excellent,
That's the Rhino Platform I will get, however I will be mounting it on a GX Prado in the new year, and will mount it on feet directly to the roof, and not on roof rails, and it should sit a little lower on the roof, and apparently it has a higher load rating if not mounted on roof rails.
Thanks so muchSE Qld: GX 150GD Auto, (Feb'16 build): TJM T15 steel b bar, 9,500lb TORQ winch, TJM s steps, Rhino Pioneer Platform (42102B 1928X1236mm), front recovery points, Wynnum towbar, P3 brake controller, TNN Underbody guards, UHF, TREKtable & LED striplight, Custom Fridge & Drawers, Waeco CFX50, 9inch illuminator 160W LED spots, 40mm lifted Dobinson Suspension (Zordo's), ScanguageII, 30 Sec Wing Awning

The roof load limit is the determining factor of what you can carry. Not the roof rack or the type of leg used. So 100kg is the max.

Excellent,
Thanks so much for that clarification amts. Its been 5 years since I've had to think about kitting up a Prado with accessories.
I am considering mounting a second spare wheel on a Rhino rack when touring, do you happen know the weight of a genuine prado spare wheel...(I just sold my Prado, another one on order.)

Originally posted by amts View PostYes there's a thread for that. If I recall it's about 30kg. Slightly more for muddies.
I did look for a thread, I found lots more on rhino roof platforms...so sorry for previous questions, but couldn't see any for the weight of spare wheel though...but the forum is getting so big, and the search function is not as good as it could be I think.
Thanks ..anyway..so that's 30kg for spare wheel, 25kg for the platform, about say 5kg for feet and fittings etc, so that leaves about 40kg for additional items..or thereabouts I guess.SE Qld: GX 150GD Auto, (Feb'16 build): TJM T15 steel b bar, 9,500lb TORQ winch, TJM s steps, Rhino Pioneer Platform (42102B 1928X1236mm), front recovery points, Wynnum towbar, P3 brake controller, TNN Underbody guards, UHF, TREKtable & LED striplight, Custom Fridge & Drawers, Waeco CFX50, 9inch illuminator 160W LED spots, 40mm lifted Dobinson Suspension (Zordo's), ScanguageII, 30 Sec Wing Awning
