If you’re changing over your car, your best option is to bring your existing roof racks in to Roof Carrier Systems. We will be able to either re-use some of the components of your racks or trade them in to lower the change over cost of a new set of racks.
Most modern roof racks are component based and therefore you may be able to utilise parts of your existing racks. This also means we have a wide range of pre-owned racks available for sale. Second hand racks are a great way to get a quality product at a lower price.
Please note that it is not possible to quote any trade in value of racks over the phone, we need to see them in store.
In 1953, Lex Davison, Stan Jones and Tony Gaze, took Australia’s first model Holden sedan, a dark green 48-215 (FX) to the famous Monte Carlo Rally.
That amazing feat and somewhat forgotten story, has been retraced in style by Lex’s son, Richard; V8 superstar Craig Lowndes, and Gary Poole in a exact replica of that 48-215(FX). Sole remaining 1953 driver, Tony Gaze was the official Patron.
The Australian Monte Carlo Project used Nokian Snow Tyres from snowtyres.com.au to help them get through the demanding snow and ice stages. We were also able to help out the support vehicle with a set of Nokians and a Thule Pacific 780 luggage box.
Here’s what Gary Poole from the Monte Carlo Project said about Nokian snow tyres:
“The Australian Monte Carlo Project chose Nokian winter tyres as supplied by snowtyres.com.au in Melbourne.
Our team, Craig Lowndes, Richard Davison and Gary Poole, found the Nokians to provided excellent grip in all weather conditions.
We used two types of Nokian winter tyres in the event, Nokian WRG2 and the studded Nokian Hakka 7. We run with our Nokian WRG2 winter tyres in Targa Adelaide. The performance of the Nokian winter tyres has to be seen to be appreciated.
We found many cars had run off the road in some very snowy conditions, late at night, however, the Nokians fitted to the 1951 car enabled confidence and saw us ‘tooting’ the horn as we passed in the 48-215 (FX)”
Roof Carrier Systems has worked in conjunction with out4x4.com to fit a Rhino-Rack Pioneer Tray onto the roof of a 4dr Jeep Wrangler. We think it looks pretty good.
Stand out from the crowd or blend in even more by getting your roof racks powder coated!
Back in 2011 we helped out with Cadel Evans’ parade through the streets of Melbourne by supplying ‘maillot jaune’ coloured roof racks and bike carriers. Ever since, Roof Carrier Systems has been providing a powder coating service to its customers to make their racks blend in more or stand out even further. We have supplied racks in many different colours. The most popular is black, but we have done white, blue, red and more!
Roof Carrier Systems is all about road and bike safety and this new incentive is a great idea! Its also free! Look Before Opening (LBO) is a bicycle initiative to change driver behaviour and habits.
With increasing traffic congestion, commuting by bicycle is becoming more and more popular. Cyclists are being seriously injured and killed by drivers who simply forget to check for bicycles before opening their car door.
Cars and bicycles need to co-exist, Look before Opening aims to change the habits of drivers who simply forget to Look Before Opening. Visit www.lookbeforeopening.com for more info!
This photo was sent to us by one of our happy customers. We were able to customise some Prorack Flush Bars to suit their Porsche 997 so they could take a long-board to the beach. The board is held down by a nice set of locking tie-downs.
If you have a great pic of your Roof Carrier Systems gear doing its job, we’d love you to send it to us so we can share it with everyone.
