Hey guys, thought I might give you all a look at the rack I bought from Tim up at ODA.
I'm really happy with it, and it certainly holds at least 60kgs when it's moving. Probably a lot more static.

$440 for the alloy, the basket is a Rhino Rack job, around 200 I think. Here's a picture of the left mount, It's identical on the other side. The bolts screw from behind into the mounting plate itself 
As for the front, I don't have a picture of that, but it sits right underneath the part where the sun roof hinge is, uses the same screw holes (and screws). |

nice idea, sort of similar to the Calmini one. I would prefer it to sit a little closer to the roofline though. |

Well, the whole thing is modular, so you can actually take off the cross bar/platform and bolt a basket or whatever directly onto the rails. You can see the bolts/mounts in the second picture. |

Should give it a bit of extra brace, but she definitely holds at least 70-90 kilos on the highway as is (havent tried that much org road yet). |
