Roof Rack on Canopy Across too Cab

ARB actually do a rack system for canopies that allows about 600mm over the cab, fully supported by the 2 bars with internal support.

I used the TJM 2 bar rack system on my Triton dual cab and used the ARB tradesman rack on it.

Check the pic out in my profile.

I once made a full length rack for my dual cab landcruiser so I could rack long items as a tradesman. Unfortunately after 4x4 driving for a year or so the rack had loosened all the guttering to the cab. I had to remove the rack and refix all of the dual cab roof along the gutter. Since then I have built a full length roof rack coming up from a support that starts at the scrub bars. This support goes up and around the windscreen which protects my arial and windscreen transoms from getting bashed by branches down those narrow tracks. The support then joins to the tray via two 40mm poles - the same size as the scrub bars. I have loaded this with lots of gear and traveled off road for years now with no problems. Bit more wind drag but I get to have a long roof rack without tearing my cab apart.

Hi Warfer I traveled with a mate this year who has a navara duel cab. He had a custom made rack which extended over the roof.Looked great but craked every where.They reiforced the uprights so hopefuly it will peform bettter. One upright had snapped completley through with the sway movement.

Gday Warfer,
My cab and canopy move a lot in opposite directions - just from the twist in the chassis.
With a dual cab, I'd put the rack over the cab, and not the canopy - keep the weight forward of the rear axle - too many instances of bent chassis on dual cabs.
