Outback Roofrack for 4.8 GRX

Post by jan.dup »

Is there anyone on the forum that has a full size Outback Roofrack fitted on their 4.8 GRX ? Someone mentioned that it comes with a hatch/"hinged gate" as to accommodate when you don't have something on top and want to utilize the sunroof. Pics would be nice if possible.

It does come with the 'sunroof hatch' - BUT not as the norm - you order that model.
I have one on Agarob without the roof haych - but to date has never missed it. the sunroof still open en the fresh air still comes in and Dwergie still refuses to stand on the seat and hang out the sunroof to take close up of lion family lying next to road ... aitog.

I ordered the full Outback Roofrack with the hatch - I'm quite a keen photographer and think it can be quite handy if you don't have anything loaded up there. Will let you know how it goes. Thanks for the replies.

Beste van die lot oppi mark jan - jy salli spyt wees nie
Het jy die een wat oorklap of wat kan "slide" ?? ek het annerdag een gesien wat ondertoe glip en dan in 2 spoortjies agtertoe gly - maar ek vermoed die ou het dit self so gemaak. Hy reken as hy goed op sy dak het kan hy dan steeds die luik gebruik [as die rak net van halfpad agtertoe gepak is [soos jerri kanne ens wat nie by elke kampplek afgelaai word nie]

WANNER SIEN IK KIEKIS VANNI NUWE WAGEN ??? of het ek iets gemis?

Gits oom Mac, ek weet nie - dis eintlik 'n baie goeie vraag. Ek sal gou more seker maak - maar dit sal net sin maak om hom so te he dat jy dit maklik kan benut/oopmaak as daar iets na agter op die roofrack gepak is.

Miskien om dit heeltemal te kan afhaal sal ook 'n opsie wees ?
