Go to Front Runner in Midrand - their prices are pretty good!
They have a new model and an older model - I got the latter at around 4k.

Hi Dave

It may depend on what you want to spend, but my custom roof rack was at least half the price of most of the branded makes.
I got mine made to fit 12 ammo boxes next to one another.
OR, when I have the RTT on, I still have 6 boxes on top.
I have not seen a factory made racks that come out in that size.
Also, I had a "man-hole" made directly above the sunroof.
