I am soon to be in the market for a roof rack for my 80 series. While trolling around e-bay (actually looking for camera gear) I can across a couple of these ...
http://cgi.ebay.com.au/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=330175370726&ru=http%3A%2F%2Fsearch.ebay.com.au%3A80%2Fsearch%2Fsearch.dll%3Fcgiurl%3Dhttp%253A%252F%252Fcgi.ebay.com.au%252Fws%252F%26fkr%3D1%26from%3DR8%26satitle%3D330175370726%26category0%3D%26fvi%3D1
Never heard of them before but they "look" OK. I was wondering if anyone has had any personal experience with them or even seen one in the flesh, so to speak.
Thanks very much.
Andy

OK....so the link seems to be dead but a search of Aussie e-bay for item # 330175370726 (just cut and paste this into the search box there) should bring up the beastie I am talking about.

They are about $1500 new so that is a good price, I have one on my 100 series you won't break it but they are heavy, they are easy to fit you just need 4 big men to lift it up.
Cheers Steve.

Thanks guys, the other one you linked from e-bay appears to be the same rack but from a different seller.
I will give them a bit more consideration.

Hi Andy,
I purchased one of these for my 80 series..not too bad at all. weigh approx 25-30 kgs.. I lifted it out of my trailer by myself. Reasonably
well set up. Fitted it with a friend of
mine one each side and just lifted it up. got
mine from powerful 4x4 in
sydney delivered to my work (
dalby QLD) was about $780. very good service and quite quick
cheers
