Must admit yours is the first one I've seen with the full length Front Runner rack on their new mounting system. Personally, I prefer their old mounting system. It might be slightly higher (that suits me, as it leaves me enough room for their s/s camping table under the rack), but the legs and general support system is far less "bulky" on the old system - especially the front legs. ;)Quote:

One thing that I can say about the Front Runner racks is that they are bloody strong. I have had some very heavy loads on mine, including using the rack and the air suspension to lower a heavy roller door from its mount at my son's place to replace the motor / gearbox on it, and then raise the entire assembly back up onto its mounts.
I've also hit the underside of the office building I was working at in Perth a while back - hard. (I was distracted and raised rather than lowered the suspension as I was coming around the corner :censored:). Knocked a large chunk of concrete out of the building, and there is still a scrape mark on top of the rack as evidence of where I hit - but other than cosmetic, no damage done to the rack or the car. ;)
