Re: Bush-Cab Roofracks
Never heard of them. I can't say that I like the look of their roof rack, although it appears functional and very sturdy. But their drawer systems and canopies look very neat.

Re: Bush-Cab Roofracks
Im guessing these are steel which is extra weight. Just something to consider when calculating max load weight.

Re: Bush-Cab Roofracks
JTEC - They use Alu. but I have not been to their facilities to check it out.
Have to agree on the look based on their website. it looks like a home made roof rack for a plumbing bakkie and not very well finished off.

Re: Bush-Cab Roofracks
Ok thats quite decent then. The look is not great but if powdercoated black will look much better. Maybe you can specify fitting points custom to your setup?

Re: Bush-Cab Roofracks
I'll go around to the shop sometime and give some feedback.
I don't like the square corners. Also the load bars does not look wide enough from the photos and the spacing seems a bit far apart.

Re: Bush-Cab Roofracks
Thanks, feedback will be great. Im guessing those pics might just be of a generic build for show and not specific to the Trols but lets see. Would be cool if you can specify you layout.

Re: Bush-Cab Roofracks
Its definitely not for the Trol. They don't have the dimensions and I need to take it in for measurements. I am sure I will be able to ask them to custom it a bit more to my needs.

Re: Bush-Cab Roofracks
I quickly stoped by there workshop and was pleasantly surprised. the quality looks much deferent from the ones on the website. The lead time is about 2 weeks and they custom it to your needs including the spacing etc... they can also powder coat it in black. They can also make variouse brackets and attachments to your needs.
below is some pictures.
