Has anyone here fitted the Rhino front rack (ie above driver and passenger) like this one?
http://www.rhinorack.com.au/AccSubCategory...334_9.aspx
Thinking of getting it fitted and was wondering if there was any pictures around? (I already have the "tracks" and 2 cross bars from rhino)
I'd be keen for a profile picture to see how high it sticks up from the roof
Thanks

I have been looking at one of those as well, however I notice they are using 3 cross bars in a number of pictures, RTS 502 I think is the pt number, I have mail BOAB here in the UK who can get the bits, you can go direct of course.
If you don't fit the third bar, the tray will overhang a bit, which may not be a problem. Silver TDV6 S with sat nav, PTI and Moosed up a bit

The front tracks have exactly the same profile as the longer rear ones. It only takes one bolt to secure each track.
The most difficult part (which is actually quite easy  ) of the installation is the cutting of the black strips that covers the roof channel - these strips are soft aluminium and can be bent and creased quite easily.
When the roof bars are not on, the front tracks are hardly noticable as they are only about a cm in height.

Sonny I'd be keen to see some photos of your roof set up with the tray in place if you have any?

realising that sometimes you have to just give things ago, I'm booked in to have the front rack installed on Tuesday next week.
I will of course report back with pics. MY08 TDV6 SE

Had to upload to picasa - too much mucking around with the Disco3.co.uk gallery.

Notice the damage to the Cage. I complained to the people who fitted it, and they sorted out a suitable sweetener.
