Roof Rack

Please recommend a simple roof rack for my 2016 double-cab. Need to carry 2 spare wheels.

Thanks in advance,

Mark

May not suit your requirements but we carry two tyres inside (one vehicle & one trailer).
Rear seat pops out easy leaving plenty of flat room and the exposed mounts conveniently accept M8 eyelet tiedown points.
No extra wheels, just the tyre pliers.
So a lot easier on the GVM, no additional heavy rack, wheels, and bonus of loosing 23kg of seat.
You are not top heavy and maintain better clearance, and they are automatically secure.
We use the well space in the tyres to store things.
VicRoads here approve seat removal, we carry a print out from their web site. Not sure about WA
Between the existing spare wheels and repair plugs for common punctures we haven't had a need to use them yet.

Heaps of options of varying design and weight from Rhinorack, so Google their site.
I have the basket type mounted on roof bars and have used it for years..... mount my awning off the bars.
Some of their other designs are better aerodynamically and lighter weight.
