Whether you use your roof rack or tow bar for a full-tilt off-road adventure, a family holiday, a ski trip, going for a surf or just to haul some lumber home from the hardware store we've got you covered. Always check your vehicle manufacturer's recommended maximum roof load or tow rating. The maximum load rating quoted in the guide for the roof racks may be above your vehicle's capacity. The maximum load for tow bars is the highest towing capacity possible. This may involve using electronic brakes. When using roof racks you will also need to be very aware of your sunroof as some vehicles won't have the clearance needed to open the sunroof, so as a general rule when the racks are on your sunroof must stay closed.FAST SHIPPING AUSTRALIA WIDE ON MOST ROOF RACK SYSTEMS
