Load rating is 150kg

They bolt into the factory points after removing the factory rails, protrudes 250mm past the front bolting point.

Good find Clarky these are the best quality, robust roof racks for the WH I've seen. I currently have the small Rhino rack 1280 x 1065, load rating is only 68kg, once I put my kayak and 2 x 10l cans of fuel I'm nearly on the limit so can only place a few light items on.

The prices aren't too bad a Rhino is around a $1000+ and sits on a cross bar....certainly not as robust....these sit lower and look better

Anyway, I've decided to upgrade and ordered the Oval Alloy yesterday.

My rhino is 1800l x 1400w and they sit on the mounting legs not cross bar and sit close to the roof about 40mm off the centre of the roof, it set me back $900 i only have 4 legs and want to put another 2 in the middle which may mean i will have to put spacers in (possibly 10-20mm to allow for the curve of the roof) i have had quite a bit of weight up there inc me loading, no doubt the tradesman system is much stronger. The fact i didnt know about these 3 years ago rhino won me over with all there accessories and how easy they are to fit and remove.

07 commander, they look OK...not sure if they make that design for the WH I can only find the Vortex SX Silver 2 bar roof rack on the Rhino site.

Haven't seen your design before it doesn't seem to be showing up on their site ...interesting anyway the price was good.

best thing to do is buy the flat rack from 4wd supa centre for $239 and go a to fabrication place to make the brackets for our roof holes. The ones on the GOBI rack look very simple to make. A quick weld onto the flat rack and shes done! And probably less than $500

Thats because they dont have a listing to fit, it was the same as my commander i went in to roof rack superstore and the guys where really helpful they order in some mounting legs (same as the ones for the bars) and we measured up what size pioneer tray would fit my car and they told me i might have to modify it to suit (a matter of drilling out a few pot rivets and riveting the mounting points in the correct spot) turned out it fit without modifying it.

Another option is 120 series prado racks, I got this one of ebay and it only needed slight mods to the roof rails to make it fit.

Length of the 120 rack?

Also is that a set of roof tracks I see on your grand? were they required to fit the rack?

It's about 1700 x 1200 and yes it has roof tracks they where part of the complete rack I brought and I only needed to drill a few holes for them to line up with the nutsearts on the WH roof
