Installed my Slimline 2 roof rack today from Opposite Lock. All I can say is "Not f***ng impressed" I will be talking to them tomorrow and I believe it will be coming off and going back to them. Biggest issue. Rack is flat, Patrol gutter is curved, all legs are the same length. Currently the clamps which are rubbish will need to crank down ie: bend the rack 30mm. This means both the front and rear legs will be pulling up and ALL the weight will be sitting on the centre legs. This thing costs a fortune and there's not one piece of stainless in the bolt pack and the whole bloody thing bolts together (32 bolts and nuts which will all rust) I ordered a shovel holder as well and I was give this tiny little "L" bracket and a single clamp that doesn't hold the shovel handle...WTF. Talk about pissed off. Hey Nic, can I buy that rack off you?
Cheers Rod

Careful you don't stretch the gutter mate. The rack may stay straight and the cutter may distort.

Gave the old girl an oil change and watered the light bar
Looking good I'm about to do the same [lightbar] and Mega has told me it will fit underneath.
Oil change is always good.
Edit go figure same colour GU and same fragrant vanilla

Not good at all, hope they put it right without much pain

I had my way, I'd change the colour.
The new light bar is just a quick fix for the trip cos we'll be traveling roo country early.
