Thread: Roof rails and roof racks

This is the Baja rack which utilises short roof rails which are from front runner. Apparently the new Baja rack does not require roof rails at all now

I like the look of the baja racks, but I don't like the weight. From the spec sheets I was looking at they where 45kg

I was considering one of these for my D4.

At the moment I think I will go with 3 Rola or similar bars on the rear section.
I built a loverly strong flat roofrack for my D2 with the thoughts of getting a roof top tent.In the end 99.8% of that racks work was carrying fishing rods in storage tubes or on the rack.The rest of the use was long items from the hardware shops.Thinking 3 bars may be good enough for my needs.

Hmmm mine weighs 28kg. The new spec sheet says 29.5kg. Not sure where that info came from.
