While you are out on one of the best off-road driving adventures in Australia, it is important to ensure that you have everything you require. Whether it be just a quick weekend escape or a longer outback adventure, some essentials are always necessary. When it comes to packing, you can never have too much space, and having an extra storage option can be helpful in making your 4x4 adventure less stressful.

Roof accessories are a great way to expand the storage capacity of your 4WD, or simply to secure bulky items on the roof that do not fit well in the interior of your vehicle. Depending on your needs, there are a variety of roof rack arrangements and accessories you can choose from so everyone can travel in comfort.

Maximum roof load

All 4WDs have a weight limit on how much you can place on the roof of the vehicle. They vary between car brands and makes but should be adhered to so accidents can be prevented. The maximum roof load applies to the roof rack as well as any item you wish to put on it. You can find this number in your vehicle ownerโ€™s manual, or simply contact your vehicle manufacturer to enquire. If you overload your roof, passengers are constantly being put at risk and your roof may be damaged in time.

Roof basket & trays

Mounted to your vehicle, these metal mesh baskets let you fit extra camping gear that you can strap on easily to free up interior space. Made of either steel or aluminium and in various designs, most of them come with the full mounting kit for easy installation. Roof basket or trays are lightweight and are fantastic for transporting multiple small gear.

Roof racks & rails

Carry more when out with friends and family with roof racks and rails. Keep the interior of your 4x4 vehicle dry by fitting your tent, fishing rods and surfboards on the roof instead. Made of quality alloy, they are a safe way to tie down large items to your car as long as the total weight of cargo and roof racks does not exceed the maximum weight limit.
