Default frontrunner rack

I've seen a few of these in Perth recently.

They look pretty decent, has anyone got any feedback?

quality, fuel consumption increase, wind noise, strength, ease of fitting, ease of removal once fitted removal?

Cheers guys



Also, does anyone know where in Perth sells them?

I have a full length one,very sturdy as it goes through and mounts to the roll bar, install is Def more than the suggested 3 hrs, you do have to drill 16x 22mm holes in your roof so that's 16 bolts you need to remove to get it off so it does take a while.. Once mine was on its stayed on, and use Silicon to seal the foam washers they supply don't work

Oh and yea fuel went up maybe 1l/100 or a tad more and some extra wind noise not to bad though, make sure you mount the wind deflector otherwise it sounds like it's going to rip your roof off. I got mine from over Perth way wolf4x4 I think

Ive just upgraded from the half rack to the full... Noticed an increase in fuel straight away with the diesel, which surprised me a bit.

Great looking rack, well built, light weight. Do not buy if you love swapping tops all the time though! Install is probably the worst thing, commitment needed to drill holes in the roof!
