Mastadon!

Stay the hell away from Baja Rack! I had one on my Landcruiser 200 series and it ruined the roof. You've been warned! = D

Here is my K9 Eezi Awn that's a 4/5 rack (2.2 M). I know some other companies make a 2.4M rack which basically goes from front windshield to the back gutter.

ORC has a very nice set of sliders for 1400 Euro. If you want anything better it will be custom fab work.

I've had a Baja Rack, Slimline 2 and the Eezi Awn. The Slimline 2 was comparatively pretty loud because it's taller by 3/4 inch (height of the face, not from the roof) and the slats run horizontal vs. lengthwise. I don't even use the wind guard on my Eezi Awn, where as if I did the same on the...

You've changed how I look at the world. I'm going to quite my job, put all my gear on my rack and go hide on Mt. Hood with my truck. = D

You should see mgmetalwork's fabrication shop and skills! He can make anything. Now all we got to do is get him to prototype some cool stuff for the G's (rear drawers, rear ladder, pistol safe, 2nd battery box, etc.).

Well drat, the rack was too tall with the 200 mm legs to fit in my office parking garage the second I put on the shovel mount... meh. I reached out to Paul @ Equipt who very generously offered to swap out the 200 mm legs for 150mm free of charge. Great guy and great customer service. Can't...

I plan on doing the under table slide, which takes up 2 inches beneath the rack (leaving about an inch clearance) and requires the tall legs. I'll also be doing a front led bar which will take up at least 1/2 to 3/4 of the existing space under the front of the rack. I'm digging it so far...

Just confirmed that I have the tall legs at 200 mm, and that they make a 150 mm set of legs (1.96 inches shorter). The gap between the sunroof and rack on the 200 mm legs is about 40 mm (1.57 inches), which means the 150 mm legs will not allow you to use the sunroof. = / Amazing photography...

200 mm legs, not sure if they make shorter ones. It couldn't be much shorter and still clear the tilt on the sunroof... Maybe an inch shorter? I think it's 30mm taller than the Frontrunner rack.

So I snagged one of the last two K9 roof racks left in the states from Equipt yesterday. I have to say I am very, very impressed by the quality of this rack. I've owned a Baja Rack and FrontRunner on my Landcruiser 200, and I have to say Eezi Awn has a winner on their hands here. Some...

I've been really leaning towards Radflo or King suspension, but Koni shocks are looking very attractive. I was always worried about nicking up my Radflo shock bodies and pistons on my Landcruiser. If the Koni shocks are in the same ball park comfort wise I may have to go that direction. I...

Hi McBride, do you have the part number for the ORC springs for stock? All I can find are the blue heavy duty ones online. Also, which Konis do you have paired with those shocks? Thanks!

Hey Dutch how is the noise on the triple bar prior to the tent on a 10 point scale? Thanks!

Hmm, I may just do the triple cross bars. How is the noise on them? Did it impact MPG much? Thanks!

Thanks for the feedback! I actually like the rounded sides on the Rhino Rack because of their profile that cuts noise. Nice to know about the Hannibal racks. They are very nice, but if I were to go with a block sidewall I would probably lean with the FrontRunner because of the amount of...

Here is a response I got from Jeff @ Rhino Rack. Nice guy btw, but didn't instill much confidence in me lol. It's weird, because I have seen pictures of the Rhino Rack on G550's on the internet... but they seem to be unofficial sort of like the ARB roof racks seen on some G's. Thoughts...

I had them on my fully built Landcruiser 200. Man were they LOUD. Much more so than my KO's or Toyo AT's. I ended up going with GoodYear Adventure Pro-Grade 6 ply on my new Gwagon. Super smooth and super quiet, while maintaining their triple mountain snowflake rating.

So I totally fudged my tire size. I got the 275-65-18... doh! I decided not to do the 275-70-18 because I didn't want to impact my mileage too much.
