what do you consider the better of the flat roof racks that are available for the 110 these days?

For the 1st time, I've just coughed up some big $$ for the full-length Frontrunner Roofrack, hoping that the extra $$ will be worth it in the long run. It seems to be very flexible in its setup and what u can do. I like the amount of room u get tooOriginally Posted by incisor

I dont have it but would like a Frontrunner due to the amount of add-ons available.
The slats ran side to side though where the Rhino version runs the other way which may be better for wind.
Ultimately comes down to what your carrying. Rooftop tent or kayaks or....

I have had the Frontrunner rack for about 5 years and I love it. There are a huge number of accessories available for it and if they don't have what you need you can bolt anything you want on with ordinary M8 bolts.

I'm a big fan of all Frontrunner stuff actually.

Yep, got the Front Runner II as well and wouldn't do without it for all the reasons mentioned above.
Well worth the little bit more.

The quality is second to none. Its an American company and they are trying to break into the Aussie 4wd market. The slats run east to west which is excellent for loading rather than the north south system used by rhino. The only thing is that you habe to use front runner gutter mounts with it. The guys at the roof rack store suspect that front runner and yakima are made by the same manufacturer as everyrhing is interchangeable.

From what I have seen of flat racks, Front Runner. I have a G4 on mine, not sure I would go down that path again, set up is ok, powder coating poor and only pipe bars, need to put in some diamond mesh aluminium.
