Colin,

I have a 2m alloy flat rack that was sold through Opposite Lock. The importer is Dolium in WA. Very pleased!

I use a rola sport steel cage type on my 4runner and a matching gear bag.Really easy to load up as it opens fully up. It holds 80 kg it was cheep from repco. Mega strong no Ali fatigue dramas and the bag keeps everything bone dry in major storms. Well recommended.

Rhino rack! Mate if they do not have something to suit I'll be very surprised. Comes at a cost though but very good gear with a lot of thought into the designs.
