Canopy roof rack attaching body

Postby dinomike20 on Sun, 30 Oct 2016 12:56 +0000

Hi guys,

I've just picked up a 2009 Hilux Dual Cab with original Toyota canopy - which is quite a bit higher than the cab.

I'm looking for a roof rack to go over the canopy and also extend over the cab a little - want to hold a rooftop tent and a few other bits and pieces. Rather than reinforcing the canopy, I found these racks that attach to the body of the car - this one is from a place in WA, does anyone know anywhere else that does them, preferably in VIC, but also just interested in comparing options. And if anyone has any advice on using these types feel free to chime in!

Cheers,
Michael

I built my own if you can weld it was quite cheap. I now have to red-design it to suit the new hilux.
