It doesn’t matter if you drive a small 4WD like a Suzuki Sierra or a massive one like a Ford F250 – or anything in between! – you’ll find so many benefits to adding a roof rack to your 4×4. Every 4WD could benefit from increased storage space, but it’s not just when you go camping that you’ll use it! Whether you’re a tradie who drives their 4×4 every day for work, or you use your 4WD for everyday duties running the kids around, you’ll love the space that a 4×4 roof rack will give you. In fact, we’re so confident that your new 4×4 roof rack will be such a great addition, that we’re certain it’ll pay for itself within a couple of months! Here are five ways that 4×4 owners are loving their roof racks every single day.

1. ON THE JOBSITE

The first one is a no-brainer. If you’re a tradie then you probably at some stage need to lug long lengths of timber, or metal, or PVC pipe. Forget towing a trailer from jobsite to jobsite, bung a roof rack on your 4WD and load it up! The Tradies steel roof racks that we sell here at 4WD Supacentre have side rails for tying loads down, but have open ends at the front and rear for loading long lengths of materials easily. There are no dramas lugging 6m lengths of steel for instance – just hang about 1.5m over the front of the roof rack and a little over the rear. Perfect for those times when the delivery will be delayed and you need materials fast!

2. FOR RUNS TO THE HARDWARE STORE

If you don’t have the need to own a trailer that you might only use once or twice a year, then you’ll love having a tough Kings steel roof rack for those unexpected trips to the hardware store. Maybe it’s to pick up a new outdoor setting for the backyard, or just something too big to fit into your 4WD. Strap it to your 4×4 roof rack and you’ll have it home in one trip, and there’ll be no stuffing around having to rent a trailer for half a day just for the one run!

3. MOVING BIG, BULKY GEAR

Hands up if you’ve ever got a call from a mate to help em move something just because you’re the one with the 4WD? Yeah, except the problem is if you don’t have a roof rack, then amazingly you don’t actually have much more internal storage space than your average station wagon. However, if you have a Kings Steel roof rack then you’re well equipped for all those last minute ‘emergencies’ that your mates seem to have. And if you need an added incentive – it’s well known that the going rate for delivery of a new mattress and bed frame is a slab of beer. You’ll have paid off your roof rack in a couple of trips at this rate!

4. WEEKEND TIP RUNS

The garage or the shed all get away from us at times, and before you know it, you’re tripping over those boxes your brother-in-law left in the shed ‘just for a couple of weeks’ back in 2017. If it’s time to do a tip run then don’t stuff around renting a trailer, use your roof rack! The Adventure Kings Full length steel roof racks feature tie-down points right around them so they make it incredibly easy to lug big bits of gear around. Do that entire tip run in one trip by chocking up the inside of your 4WD and putting the bigger, bulkier gear up on your roof rack!

5. KEEPING ALL THE KIDS HAPPY

Whether it’s all the surfboards, or three pushbikes, it’s never been easier to take all the kids’ sporting gear with you wherever you go. Forget the bike rack that is a pain the backside to mount up, load up and then set up since you’ve gotta move your number plate to stay legal. Just strap the kids bikes straight to a Kings Steel flat rack roof rack to take them down to the bike track! Our roof racks are made for bulkier gear too, like kayaks. They’re tough as nails, made from heavy-duty powdercoated steel and not only are they extremely useful, they look really slick too!
