roof racks to suit a rhino basket

Can't say about the roof racks, but they sound a bit expensive. A full set of Rhino COMMERCIAL bars & legs (3 bars) - the U shaped ones - for a Prado here in S.A. are less than $400. But about the basket. I believe the Rhino basket has (or had) slopey sides. We had one like that but shortly after changed it for one with vertical sides. Imagine strapping a box or jerry can to slopey sides & you will see why we changed. Everything finishes up not butted nicely up against the sides & leaning ovet at an angle. IMHO.

I got a local fabricator to knock up a basket for me. Using 12mm RHS- I needed it open front & back to carry ladders & stuff for work, but arranged the cross bars to line up with the rhino racks. Its a little (internal) wider than the 'off the shelf' 1200mm jobs, as some of the panels I carry are the old 4 ft (a bit over 1200mm).
Have no pbobs carrying, fuel jerrys, tent &/or spare wheel etc when touring.
I think a custom made one would be a bit cheaper, probably better made, and to suit your own needs.

I bought 4 x rhino roof racks for my patrol - total cost including shovel holder was a shade over $560. Pride Auto

Hi Boo Boo

I have 3 of the "U" shape racks, (gutter mount) that were used on the Hiace, 60ser and GQ for building work. Adjustable width, gal' in top order and should sit on your Troopy with standard roof no worries.

I'm in Sydney, can send pics. No Res' offer Refused.
If this is helpful to you or anyone for that matter,,,, clearing the shed.

Bob,
Just bought a new 78series td. troopy and priced the Rhino three bar set at $550! From a well known 4by store.
Decided to go for the genuine Toyo one at $300 and guess what its a re-badged Rhino with commercial bars! only $250 cheaper!

Do a ring around, you might be surprised by some of the differences in prices. A lot of the time its a young guy reading from a price list catalogue and mistakes are not uncommon.
