enclosed steel roof rack

[Ibbo]

I am in the market for a roof rack and these seem like like pretty good value without knowing the build quality. Shame they in Vicco.....

Junk. That is a runout TigerzII for sure mate. You want more cross members in the build and at least 4 feet a side for my money.

Note how far apart the cross bars are, then look for pics of others and note there are quite a few more cross bars on the more expensive ones.

Fair enough. But for $350 you have to expect less quality than the $1000 quality alternative.

Thanks for offer, getting roof racks freighted is not cheap so hoping to buy local (SA). Also thinking now that a tradesman rack probably suits me best - bit less drag and good when i throw the longboard up there

Had a look at the supacentre ones but they look like they got the big gaps between spacers like Mudrunner gave me a hard time for on the one i posted to start with. I take his point, now that i am looking around i have seen some with the mesh sagging/bent inbetween the spacers cos they have too big a gap.
I dont mind the look of these aluminum/alloy ones but not sure how strong they be - they have plenty of spacers? http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Full-Length-Aluminium-Alloy-Tradesman-Roof-Rack-Patrol-Landcruiser-Pajero-Ch-/161353004989?hash=item25916377bd
