When getting out to see the beautiful scenery and vast open country, it pays to bring all of the accessories and appliances you need to make camping an enjoyable experience. However, when packing many of us are limited by the internal space your vehicle was manufactured to carry.<\/p>\n

If you want to carry all of your larger, campsite accessories it\u2019s a good idea to fit an Adventure Kings steel roof rack to the top of your vehicle to give you stacks more cargo capacity whilst you pack your 4WD to get to camp!<\/p>\n

There are several different styles of 4WD roof rack available through 4WD Supacentre, and they all offer different carrying abilities.<\/p>\n

Starting with the most popular of all the roof racks available is the Steel Full Length Rack<\/a>,<\/strong> measuring in at 2100mm x 1190mm x 200mm this rack offers the perfect place to mount all of your 4WDing accessories. Measuring 20cm tall, the Full length rack offers a full perimeter rail that runs around the outside of the rack, this rail contains all of your accessories, making packing a lot simpler.<\/p>\n

The integrated rail around the perimeter allows you to easily mount your Adventure Kings Awning<\/strong><\/a> and an Offroad Jack<\/strong> and<\/strong> Shovel holder<\/strong><\/a>. And just like all Adventure Kings Roof racks, this system is fitted with an elevated mounting location for your LED driving lights or LED Lightbar.<\/p>\n

The next most popular Steel Roof Rack in the range is the Adventure Kings Flat rack<\/strong><\/a>, offering much of the same functionality as the Adventure Kings full length rack without the perimeter rail. This means that your 4WD\u2019s roof clearance is not inhibited or impeded by any unnecessary height additions to your vehicle, making entering underground carparks a lot less stressful when your vehicle is approaching the height restrictions marked at the entry.<\/p>\n

The other benefits to the steel flat rack is the lower aerodynamic profile when you have no load on the roof, this will make your fuel consumption marginally better and offers easier access to the items strapped to the roof, without requiring you to climb up to get them free.<\/p>\n

The Steel Tradies Roof Racks <\/strong><\/a>are one of the most versatile racks in the range, measuring 210cm x 117cm\u00a0with 20cm high rails. They are strong enough to carry up to 500KG of building supplies without distorting (always check your vehicles load limit recommendations). And are just as easy to install as the rest of the Adventure Kings steel roof rack range.<\/p>\n

There are also shorter racks suitable for dual cab utes and SWB models of vehicle, so make sure you check out the full range on the 4WD Supacentre website!<\/p>\n

Installation is tailor suited with 2 main categories, firstly the gutter mounted variety, these utilize the older fashioned rain channels usually found running the length of a vehicle, from the windshield to the back of the vehicle. These rain channels are a structural element of the vehicle and allow gutter mounted roof racks to hold a considerable amount of weight. Using gutter mountings on particular vehicles, the Adventure Kings range of roof racks meets the Australian Standards AS 1235-2000 (A.D.R.) with a load rating of up to 500kg (always check your vehicles load limit recommendations).<\/p>\n

the alternative method of mounting an Adventure Kings Steel Roof Rack<\/strong><\/a>, is with the more specific \u201cChannel mount\u201d these are meant to fasten to the mounting methods hidden beneath the rubber channel strip running longitudinally down the roof of your vehicle.<\/p>\n

The Channel mounted racks are currently available for fitment on 100 series, 105 series ,120 series prado, 150 series prado, 200 series, landcruisers.<\/p>\n

If your vehicle isn\u2019t listed, many people mount a set of steel roof racks to existing cross bars or the factory fitted sports bars that now come as standard equipment on many different vehicles, by using rated U-bolts to fasten them in place, this enables the full functionality of the full length roof rack system without sacrificing any strength or functionality.<\/p>\n

If you have been looking for a practical way to transport all your bulky a sizable camping gear to and from your favorite campsites, look no further, with the massive range, and excellent affordability, you will get unbeatable bang for buck from Adventure Kings gear!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
