takot lang kasi ako ngayon, importante yung ikakarga ko sa rack at baka mabulilyaso. sayang nga nalimutan ko irehistro.

*vinj- baka naman kasama sa registration niyo yung roof rack kaya kampante lang kayo? or hindi?

hindi kasama sa reg namin yung top load. laging nakakaligtaan and we remove it when its not in use. i noticed mas takaw sa huli yung mga delivery jeeps na may karga sa bubong, and this is within Metro Manila.

ive gone up to 160kph w my Thule roof box on the Altis. When i keep my speeds at 100kph or less, theres hardly any effect on my FC. If i go over 110kph often, automatic less 2km/l na ako sa FC.

pag basket, definitely i cant go too fast unlike pag roof box.

When it comes to brands, ive only used Thule and Travel Life so far. Thule is pricey but worth it if youre really gonna use it and load up. It has locks and is rustproof.

Oks na yan! What's important is that protects your stuff from the elements and nothing gets lose while you're driving.

regarding the new toll fee application sa NLEX that started July 1, cars with topload that exceed 7-feet will be the ones charged with class 2 fees. so i dont think bike racks on the roof will count as C2 as far as sedans go, but if you place your bike already then prepare to shell out extra. i'm not so sure about AUVS, SUVs with topload.

as for the topload registration, additional P100 payable (regardless of the topload configuration or contraption whatever) to be added and co-terminus with the car's LTO registration. its better for you to include it with the registration month, if you do the topload reg after it'll be more costly with the comptuer fee the LTO charges.

hope this helps...

How about hitch receivers, do we need to register it as well?

no need to register rear-mounted racks like trunk bike racks and tow-hitch mounted ones... I asked the LTO personnel when I had my roof rack registered.
