Hi,
I have been looking for the largest roof rack I can find for the gutterless 100 sereies L/C. I had an 80 Series previously with an ARB which was 2.2m long and what built like a tank, but the equivalent for 100 series is only 1.79m long.
I have found an alloy rack at Opposite Lock which is 2.1M, I beleive it comes out of W.A.
Does anyone have any
feedback, advise or comment?
Thanks guys.

there is a mob called jaram roof racks (also in wa) that do anything and also custom build - though i dare say if you are prepared to pay anyone will build anything for a price. rgds

If you were near
Gladstone Qld. I could sell you an ARB rack which I had on my 80 series and have had converted to fit the 100. Has a 10ft. tinnie which locks onto it. Good solid rack not likely to fall apart.
Cheers, Nev.

whereabouts are you tg? There's a bloke in Brookvale,
Sydney does a good un. Aluminium engineering. His Defender was featured in a recent (2 or 3 issues back) Australian 4wd mag. I've seen quite a bit of his work cos I sometimes work in the same complex. Looks good.
