    The Rack is done...suspension next :-)

    G'day All,

    Well I finally went with a Rhino Roof Rack and Luggage Carrier. Even done it meself and for those that know me...thats an achievement. Here is Stevo's useless as tits tutorial ...

    Okkkay a few bits and pieces, so lay them out and have a squizz at instructions.



    Next put together and get one rack up and see how she looks



    Lookin good so lets go for gold and put up all 3


    Anyone lost on the tute yet??

    Wind forward quite a few hrs of measuring, moving, sweating my ass off in boiling heat and do a test panel of the carrier:



    That done, getting late and beer oclock has hit...take inside and complete carrier in front of telly as SWMBO tries to watch fave program, whilst numnuts plays mechano..


    That done, up today to finish the job, get the rack up, more moving, measuring and then securing and voila...roof rack porn



    Grrrrrrrrr



    Oooh mammy



    So rack is ready for Oztent that has been ordered and other things it will be useful for...like prams, cots and stuff especially when all 7 seats are full.

    Next on the agenda:



    Don't worry folks, I've got professionals helping on that one.....then I can get my tyres ,

    Regards

    Stevo

    Damn stevo you've got one of the cross bars around the wrong way... that one in the middle needs to be at the back so it's all level.

    Nice one Stevo....if you are leaving the rails on you may as well leave the whole thing on as it looks quite aero dynamic.

    Good work my friend
    '99 Manual TD5 D2.......heap of money spent on it and it has ended
