He certainly does not understand the meaning of the word modular!

Modular to him means continuous load ring tracks. 5 load rings to be fitted per track recommended?

Also does not what a snake sling is and its uses.

Good he mentions low profile.

However no real mention of load on rack and effect of COG. Fuel cans on rack? Much better to fit long range tanks if you actually need the extra fuel. Water either build in tanks now down or use bladders.

Consider carefully what you intend using the racks for and where you intend going. Do you actually need a rack or would GOOD roof bars suffice?

Many thanks for the video. I had seen that already and was the first time I had heard of the Eezi Awn K9 which looks good, especially as it has 8 legs each side which should help with my concerns.....

He wasn’t very complimentary about Frontrunner.

Thanks
