Thread: D2 Roof Rack what options?

I come across one supplier in Victoria selling some quality roof rack, I personally think is the best price for what they selling. Unfortunately I didn't get it due to the freight is more expensive than the rack. I'm pretty sure they sell it via eBay too... Try type Aussie part...

These threads should get you started:

For practicality and quality I would go rhino bars, accessory bits and maybe a platform.
Unless you get a voyager rack.

yes have pioneer platform for D3 just a bit to expensive for play car

When we went to the 4WD show on the weekend, we ran into a bloke who had a D2 as his display vehicle (hence why we began talking to him) and he comes to you and installs roof racks / internal shelving units etc.

In terms of roof racks (open or closed ended) for a D2 full length, supplied and fitted (onsite) was $690...the sample seemed quite secure and he's a disco person, so that's where we we're going to be looking.

The website is: OffRoad Systems 4WD Storage Solutions - Roller drawers, Fridge Slides, Cargo Barriers and the contact details are Mark Jimmink 0438 112 312 (well that's who we spoke to at the 4WD Show).

Don't know if that helps...

Thanks for that, I came across them a couple of times on the various shows never saw a D2 though.

Sounds like a reasonable price wondering whether that maybe is rack I purchased via eBay? I think $650 for a aluminium rack is a pretty good price (if the quality is okay) I will keep you posted.

For $650 I would definitely save the hassle trying to weld one up myself... Reason for not getting one is due to the bloody freight from Vic to Mount Isa. Anyway I have ordered some alu tube to weld one myself... So far material cost around $220, $150 for 8 x 11" bracket... So I would estimate end up around $450-$500 for a full length 2.2mx1.5m. Aluminium rack is definitely the go as the weight is only 1/3 of steel but welding aluminium required skill or plenty of practise.

Anyone interested in welding their own rack I can supply them a complete drawing with cultist.
