Hi Mate, great find and video is well done. My question is, Can the backbone be used alone with an already bought roof rack? I have a Yakima platform but fixed to my standard roof rail mounts utilizing the Yakima brackets that sit on the standard rails. Can the backbone be purchased separately? Great work
@TheInsightDistrict5 ай бұрын
its a universal backbone so i assume there would be something out there. have a look in facebook groups and see if anyone has done anything similar

Hi mate, very good buy on the roof platform. Just wanted to know if you used anything to fill in the roof gutter or left it exposed? And it would of been nice to see the hole Dmax with the platform on from different angles just to see how it looked.
@TheInsightDistrict3 жыл бұрын
i just left them exposed because they are painted and you dont really see them

i use a drill/ grinder to widen the channels in a small section to fit in the channel nuts. i didnt have a problem doing this as its a "cheap" roof platform. its easy enough to do, just make the slots a little longer than what the channel nut is, hope this helps
