Roofrack for Gen 3 SWB?
Posted: Wed Mar 07, 2012 9:55 pm
Hi,
I'm off on an overlanding (and birding) trip at the end of this month. My fiance and I are heading to Namibia - Fish River, Sossusvlei (camping in desert en route), Swakopmund for Easter, and then Etosha for a week.
We're going to remove the back seats for extra space, but I think a roof rack will make life a bit easier.
I'm looking for a clamp-on type that can take a 25kg canvas ground tent, 2 camping chairs and maybe a gas bottle.
Some questions:
Can anyone recommend a clamp-on brand - I can only find Frontrunner, which seem to retail (in Joburg) for R4000?
Any ideas if they can be rented, or will I need to bite the bullet?
Thanks in advance for any assistance.
Cheers,
David
