Hello All,
I'm (finally) the proud new owner of an '04 Dual cab Diesel.
I'm just wanting the heads up on whether to affix roof racks to the roof OR the canopy (ARB/follows profile of roofline) of my 'lux.
I've been doing a bit of research and had pretty much made up my mind on getting PRO-RACKS, as they seem to be well engineered in relation to noise/wind resistant and claim good/limited fuel consumption. However would like to hear feed back in relation to
1) Canopy flex (if mounted to the roof, surfboards smashing on the canopy when in rough terrain).
2) If mounted to the roof what sort of clearance/height is advised.
3) What are the pros/cons of mounting to the canopy?
4) Is there any paint or rubber lining damage to the car
NB. I'll be carrying 4-5 boards ranging from 9' - 6'2 ( I gotta check the weight on this )
Cheers in advance for your suggestions/advice
