Roof Racks to put all sorts of stuff

[soccerjoe5]

Hi guys. I'm a photographer and I'd like to add a roof rack to my car. I'd like to put the larger things that aren't expensive and sensitive there like big light stands, crates of accessories, pieces of plexiglass.

I know of Carryboy and Thule. I looked at the Carryboy site and they don't look they have much to offer in roof racks. I only see the tray, and I am having trouble imagining myself putting longer things on it. I guess I can maybe make a way with some high quality straps (not those bungee cords).

Thule on the other hand I'm sure has everything in racks. I do hear they are super expensive though.

Any thoughts and insights that you guys have to share? Do you guys know where I can find pricelists online?

Thank you!

P.S. Please don't give me "hindi bagay roof rack" or "get a pickup or SUV nalang" replies, and I don't care if my car isn't so bagay with a roof rack

BTW. Kapag mag-install ka yata roof rack, you need it to register too sa LTO. May fee din, 100php ATA.

Bakit yung roofrack namin sir 2 years na at every car registration tinatanong ng father ko sa LTO Caloocan pero no need na daw register.

I think a Thule roof box and bars with the foot pack will set you back around 50K if you get the real large ones. Best to pass by the showroom and inquire.

Quality is very good though, our Thule roof box is already 15 years old and i still use it up to now on our Altis; the car runs on LPG so when i travel with the kiddies for more than three days, trunk space is an issue. Only issue is the gas strut which holds the cover up is already busted.



If you're on a budget then the Carryboy is good.

Just want to revive this.

How can you secure your luggages na nasa roof rack kapag iniwan sa parking?

Thanks

Diba malakas sa gasulina pag maraming kang bagahe sa roof?

Hi, does installing a Thule roof box using factory installed rails (with cross-bar) on an SUV need to be registered for Top Load at LTO?

[scharnhorst]

I think the main concern is if the car can handle all that weight on its pillars

[s_quilicot]

Our roofrack for our e150 costs only 6k at banawe (generic brand) and it handled 300kgs of cargo. No problem. Just use 4 crossbar on it.

Renzo is right. you need to register it to LTO.
