Thread: Rhino Roof Platform

not a rrs but on my d2 I used ss u-bolts to fix my rack to my OEM roof rails, ss so no rust marks on roof. I used ss nyloc nuts as well and removed the rack after each trip. Amazing how much noise they create. simple fix for me , others may be interested. I think I over engineered using 8 off 8mm ubolts but it was secure.

Rack is low to roof, no cross bars required and I can now mount accessories as required.

Apologies, I've had mine setup for a year but didn't think to post about it. I just used the Rhino rail kit and the RLT600 legs. I linished the RLT600 feet a little to level them out on the roof so the platform would clip in easier. I've only used it a couple of times when going away camping as I find the wind noise annoying even with the fairing. I also find it quite awkward to fit and remove as it is fairly heavy.

I have since bought some vortex cross bars and there is a slight whistle from those but it is acceptable. They also use the RLT600 and clip in easily and are much better to handle. I will use them instead of the platform to carry the SUP and fishing rods when I go camping in the next two weeks.

OK my parts list:-

SX 026 Solid Rail leg kit 4 off.

52110 Roof Platform.

This sits low and isn't full length

All up cost 1497 which included $130 fitting which I wouldn't bother with again.
