Hey all, hope the long weekend was tops.

Im looking to remove my canopy on the 2001 Bravo, and repalce it with some ladder bars, front and rear (removable rear).

I need some links to reputable manufacturers!

Help me out?

Furthermore, I need two rails to be mounted between both bars, in the centre "flat" section for our roof top tent to mount onto. These cross bars need to be removable.

Can anyone give any pointers?

Roof top tent weighs 50kg packed up.
Im thinkning the cross bars could have saddles on each end with bolt holes through them to mount over the ladder bars?

cheers.

hello silver bravo.
On my last car a vy commodore ute I used ladder racks,Then I bolted two lengths of inch by inch aluminium from the front to the back then fitted the roof top to them but with my weight then of 96 kgs i had to use two more lengths of the aluminium,but that car is gone now so is the roof top tent, and i miss it, by the way whatever set up you get it will be heavy so what i did was put four dina bolts in my garage ceiling then four pulleys drove the ute under unbolted the aluminium bars from the racks and hey presto out of the way and a one man job,if you look on ebay under sports bars, ladder racks, ute bars you will find all different types and shapes at a fraction of the price of new ones hope this helps bill.
