My recent post about roofracks lead to me enquire from Rhino Racks in Sydney about dealers here in Alice.
Whilst speaking to them, I got an idea of pricing for the tracks and labour needed to fit them to the truck; (one ExplorOz member kindly offered me some good racks to purchase off him)

Now living where I do, I often (always?) have to put up with the higher prices associated with "freight" - that in itself is a debate for around a nice fire one evening. So I was expecting a higher price for the tracks.
Wrong! Tracks were the same ($85), but it was the LABOUR that kills me - from the suggested price of $90 to a staggering $165 and $185 from both dealers!!! I'm sorry, but I can't stomach that. I think it's daylight robbery. The one dealer had the audacity to tell me that it's expensive to live here - while her shop is undergoing HUGE renovations! All I can see, as the customer, is that I'm paying for her new store!Yes, I'm sure they can justify the price, but you know what? I'm just not interested.
I still think it's robbery and that everyone jumps on the "freight" wagon because they think we are a captive market.
So unfortunately no Rhino racks for me.
grrrrrrr
(thank you; I feel better now!)
