Hi All so some b@st@rd stole my roof rack this week. Now it is time to find a replacement.
So here are my issues.
My previous roof rack was one of those Steel 6 leg ebay jobs. It was great but way too difficult to attach and detach due to the weight. I don't like leaving it on (although in hind sight i may still have it if I did).
So what i am looking at is Rhino racks 3 bars, and an alloy cage(i am thinking tigerz11 type just removing the legs). this way i should be able to add the bars and then the rack.
So questions:
1. Any other ideas
2. Heavy Duty or Aero. both bars appear to have the same weight options. is there something i am missing? which is the best for accessories?
HEEEEELLLPPP

The only good thing about an 80 series is..... the front end?? Wrong!!, the Engine?? Wrong!! the Full Time 4WD system?? Wrong!! Its the NissanPatrol.com.au stubby holder fitted over the transfer lever. WARNING: Towballs used for recoveries can, and do kill people and damage property.
I'm on the moby at the moment. I'll post a link when I get back to the lappy in a little while. I have the 3 bar setup and trying to work out what I prefer for the rack. I haven't bought one yet (bought a rear bar instead last week ) but was leaning towards one of those Rhino Pioneer flat platforms.

Will hopefully have scored a 2nd hand set myself by the end of the week...... consisting of 3hd bars with 110mm feet, ally cage, spare set of longer feet and a couple of other bits n pieces. Been searching for quite some time, so pounced when these came up.
