    Default KE70/AE71 Panel Van Roof Racks

    Looking for those nice chrome roof racks ive seen on other ke panel vans. Anyone know anything about tracking one down? I have a high roofed model but i think that makes little difference.

    If it has roof gutters which it should unless they've been bogged because of rust just about any roof racks will fit. Don't know why you need roof racks anyway if you've got a panel van, surely that would be heaps of room to cart shit around. Or do you just want them to be JDM hellaflush sick?

    Thankyou, that is the pic i have been hoarding in inspiration. Im planning a coastal road trip from brisbane to adelaide sleeping only in the back of my pano, roof racks would mean a few more neccesities and a surf board with still the ability to jump in the back and sleep whenever needed. Pano very handy, my very own Winnebago . Does anyone know if the above racks were a stock option or from a different vehicle altogether? Would happily buy cheap ones for the purpose but much prefer the retro ones to add to my build

    I believe there Toyota by the look of them.. I would sell them as they don't really suit the look I want now but if I removed them I'd be stuck with 4 holes in the roof where they mount

    lol, well if you decide to shave your roof let me know, they would have a much loved home. Ive also got a mate that has a small basket in his, similar to what you see on kombi's but suited to a ke. Looks great but he wont part with it..

    Any Rhino/Thule/Prorack/Rola blah blah blah gutter mount will go on, and easy to find, but not the look your after.
    I know a alloy welder who could make you something up in polished, either gutter mount or bolt through.
    You sure you want to bolt through the roof?

    I got mine off a commodore a pick a part. Just cut it down a little and she was on. There not hard to find, just gotta keep your eyes open and ask lots of questions.
