Just thought I'd share a few pics and thoughts on the Cargobear roof rack which I fitted this weekend. For my 130 I got the 1005mm rack and a 550mm extension for the cab, plus 3 roof bars to fit onto the hardtop canopy for the roof tent.

Here are the rack components:

They come with some sachets of copper grease which is nice:

The quality of the rack is excellent and all the captive nuts have some sort of Loctite stuff in them:

Overall I'm really happy with the rack and I'm glad I didn't go for another front runner one. This has less wind noise than the FR, is more flexible (in terms of usage) and looks great. I'll report back with more info when it's has some proper use.

That looks good on your truck - very nice.
Shudder to think what it cost though.

That looks awesome! Nice truck  Matt.

Glad you like the roofrack CH. Your 130 does look rather nice

Do you mind if I pinch your 3rd photograph, sideways view of your 130 to use?

Not at all Brendan - feel free

They are a great roof rack and it also means we can access a lot more car parks.
