    What length is that rack? (wondering if it would fit on a 130 cab).
    If so - fancy making another ?
    It's not broken. It's "Carbon Neutral".

    I have the Patriot rack and yours looks very nice. Couple of questions, mine has a bar that runs the length of the feet so effectively the weight is spread over the length rather than three pressure points each side, also the name that's laser cut into each leg, will that not introduce a weak point? It is a great looking rack though

    Ladder is complete & working, just need to buy a padlock.

    Testing now starts, with a trip to Fraser Island over Christmas.

    Vlad this rack is 2100 long but we are looking at the viability to make the full range of Defender racks in time.

    The rack will be powder coated low sheen black in production.
    The rack capacity will match the capacity of the roof!

    Cheers
    David
