chassis-mounted roof racks for hilux? Anyone know if anybody is still making these? Or maybe someone knows of a second hand set in someone's shed? Maybe a tradesman?
It's for a 89 dual cab hilux with lowline canopy. I'm 2hrs wet of
Sydney so would travel to Sydney/Bathurst/
Orange etc.
I'm after the type with the solid tubing that runs up the side of the vehicle to support the rack (ie: no reliance on the roof of the cab). I've got a roof-mounted type but even with a light load on bad roads it's damaged the roof. my panel beater reckons the roof just won't handle a combination of corrugations and anything more than a very light load.
Cheers!

Luke,
The problem with a roof rack that is mounted on the cabin and the tray or bullbar is the movement between the three
places.
Chassis mounted bullbar and rubber mounted tray at the other end ot the chassis, they do move quite a bit.
Next time you are in
Orange, see Roy at TJM, 37 Paisley st, 02 6361 7999.
