Add import tax and shipping to that $2200. Plus installation if you aren't handy.
They would be about $2600 landed inc freight, GST and broker fee.
Who put sheep on the roof!
The design of that roof rack is flawed. I'll wager the checker plate will soon scratch/abraid/shred the surface almost everything that's stacked on it as a result of constant vibrations. "What were they thinking?"
L track on front and rear of each panel & on side of each panel.
I understand that the two base elements (together?) have a static load of 250, the middle element, which has to be ordered separately, 150. Wonder if that adds up to 400 then. And I also didn't see any reference to the dynamic load.
They suggest to "put it somewhere else". Doesn't really convince me. Since an aux heater and a marten repellent system are to be my first two installations, I wonder if there is somewhere better to put the auxiliary heater. It would be a shame to lose what little storage space there is.
30kg vs 51kg for the factory sliders is a big difference.
Yeah there’s nothing from BS I’d consider buying based on those pics.The design of that roof rack is flawed. I'll wager the checker plate will soon scratch/abraid/shred the surface almost everything that's stacked on it as a result of constant vibrations. "What were they thinking?"
This is the flattest rack I have ever seen!

That must be why I like them.
It's also 3cm in height. Talk about keeping a low profile to the roof. The hurdle with trucks this size is you add a good 152mm plus the height of from the attachment kit. Which usually makes the height 300mm higher. That puts the truck well over 2150mm tall
Agree. With the BlackSheep design attached to, and supported by the grab handles & also supported by the roof strips, the only rubbing would be substantial flex in the roof or in the rack itself.
That could be exactly what I need for long distance remote travel given the tank is only 90 litres. Someone correct me if I'm wrong (probably am with this oversimplification...) but I believe it's illegal to carry stuff on the side of the vehicle in Aus?
Subject to more information (esp. third party), I think this roof rack system has, on balance, some really good features:
