Installing an Aluminium Platform rack onto your 4wd is one of the very best ways to take your 4wds storage capabilities to a whole new level. Once you have installed an Aluminium Roof rack  onto your 4wd, you wont know how you ever got by without one. The way I look at it is, if you have a wagon with an 4wd Aluminium Roof rack, you basically have the best of both worlds when it comes to the ute vs wagon debate. Lightweight, ultra strong and built to handle the toughest tracks and corrugated roads that Australia has to offer.

The absolute best part of having an aluminium rack on your 4wd is just how easy they are to modify and add to suit just about anyone’s needs. Here are a few ways you can add even more versatility to your Alloy Platform Rack than you ever thought possible.

Jerry Can Holder
Adding a jerry can holder to your Aluminium Roof Rack not only takes your Roof rack  to the next level, but it also takes your vehicle’s capabilities up a notch by allowing you to travel even further than you ever thought possible- without stressing over running out of fuel.
Installing on of the jerry can holders onto your Aluminium Platform Rack takes less than 5 minuets and only requires one Allen key. The captive channel nuts simply slide into the accessory rails on the platform rack, then the jerry can holder site over the top of them, followed by the washers, tie down points, then of course the bolts.

The beauty of having a jerry can holder on your 4×4 roof rack is that they have been designed to fit most 10L and 20L jerry cans. So if you need to minimise weight up on top of your alloy rack and you only need to carry a small amount of fuel, you can simply chuck a 10L Jerry can up top and you are set. If you are doing a long haul drive across the Simpson Desert for example, you’ll need to grab yourself a couple of 20L Jerry cans.
They are also ideal if you do not have an auxiliary water talk in your 4wd. So if you’re planning a big trip, it is always recommended that you pack at least 3 days’ worth of water as an emergency reserve.

Recovery tracks holder
Hands up who has ever been bogged out in the bush with no one around and you’ve had to make the embarrassing call to a mate who could be half way through a footy game and a good parmy at the pub to drop everything and come out to the rescue? I have more times thana I’d like to admit and its only fair that the one who makes that call shouts drinks for the night.
If you are that guy or if you are the legend who is always willing to come out to the rescue, you need to either grab yourself a set of Recovery tracks Holders or put your mate who you are always rescuing onto a set from Adventure Kings.

These things are worth their weight in gold and trust me when I say, having a set of recovery Tracks on my Platform Rack has saved my butt far too many times and have saved me big time, not just in the time it takes for a mate to come to the rescue, but also the amount of money I save not having to shout beers. They give you the ability to perform a recovery by yourself and gets you and your 4wd out of trouble in a matter of minuets.

They take around 10 minuets to install and the best thing is that you can run them in just about any configuration you want. Lengthways along your Aluminium Roof Rack, or across the Platform Rack. That second way I just mentioned works fantastic if you are running a rooftop tent and you need a wind break.

Lightbar mounts
Adding extra light to your 4wd is beneficial in more ways than one. You might think its only good for lighting up the road in front of you and that’s it. But its far more than just that. Extra light minimises fatigue on the road because it takes the stress out of your eyes by allowing you to actually see exactly what is up in front of you, rather than stressing about either wildlife, downed trees or even broken down cars up ahead.

A great way that you can add extra light to your Aluminium Roof Rack on your vehicle is to grab yourself a set of Aluminium Platform Rack Light Mounts from 4wd Supacentre. These things are incredibly easy to install and they take the hassle out of running extra light on top of your 4wd Roof rack by utilising the awesome accessory rails on your Kings Aluminium Platform Racks. You can use them for camp lights, driving lights and even a set of driving lights.

Shovel Holder
Much like the recovery tracks holder on your Aluminium Platform Rack– having a shovel on hand can get you out of more recovery situations than you might think. In fact if you are bogged on a beach, chances are than all you need to get yourself out of trouble is the humble shovel. What better way to carry a shovel securely on your Aluminium Platform rack than the Aluminium Platform Rack Shovel Holder. Again, these things are an absolute piece of cake to install and they give you the ability to get yourself out of trouble on the beach or to answer natures call when you’re out bush.

Kayak Holder
Spending a day out on the water either fishing or just relaxing in a calm river is one of the best ways to escape the big smoke and clear your head from all the chaos of every day life. And what better way to get out on the water than with an Adventure Kings Kayak and a Kayak Holder to get it out there with you nice and secure on your Aluminium Platform Rack. They come with absolutely everything you need to secure your Fishing Kayak onto your Aluminium Roof Rack.

You can have your Kayak loaded onto your Aluminium Roof Rack  in a matter of minuets, so you can hit the road and spend more time on the water and less time packing and unpacking your vehicle.
They are so easy to install because they simply clamp onto your platform rack cross bars and you can adjust them to suit the width of your kayak.
