Thread: Expedition rack - fitting accessories

For the deflector I have used some left over vinyl wrap, its not the prettiest set up but cuts down on the wind noise and helps efficiency (still ruined from the awning)


Dont have any close ups atm

Forgot you had the front bash plate too - very cool!

very easy too! there are 2 holes already in the front subframe that I just bolted it too....would like more bolts but i doubt it will ever break as is (Not indenting to hit it hahah)

I've managed to fit a few things to my rack.

- LED light bar on the front. This is mounted with the supplied feet running back to the top bar and fixed with U-bolts. I found after fitting this I had less wind noise and didn't need a wind defector. Before fitting it though I had pretty bad wind noise on the highway.
- Awning. Fitted with L-brackets running along the cross bars and fixed to the rack also with U-bolts.
- Axe/Shovel mount. I found some really nice rubber mounts called 'Quick Fist Rubber Clamps'. Bought them through a fire trade store in bayswater. They cost about $6 ea and are very tight and reliable.
- Rear reversing lights. I have 1x LED light fitted to both rear corners of the expedition rack. The rack came with mounting holes on flat plates.
- Spare type ratchet strapped to top.

Nice and full when I'm out camping and looks great!

Brilliant, many thanks for that, greatly appreciated!!
UHF aerial mount?

Just had a look at the Dolium website re their 'Quick Fist Rubber Clamps' - how did you then secure those to the rack itself??

EDIT
Worked it out - you have the shovel against the tubular bar and the clamp goes around both.

cheers

I have my aerial mounted at the front with a Z bracket I made which comes under the front bonnet lip.
