Author Message   ErikNC Posted on Wednesday, August 07, 2002 - 02:23 am:    Hi there, I am looking for some feedback about the TJM roofrack pictured below. Here in New Caledonia, there is an outlet for ARB and one for TJM. I don't like much the look of the ARB, and the TJM here has a design that follows the roof of the disco, which I like. I would love to get and adventure rack like a lot of you guyz, but the LR dealer ask me USD 4600 to get one !!! can you believe this !!! Back to my question : anyone using or having seen a TJM roofrack in use ? How about it ? Is it well made ? Is it heavy ? Any feedback welcome. Best regards.

Anyone using it ? Any feedback ? Best regards. Erik Schall. New Caledonia   Erik SCHALL (Eriknc) Posted on Wednesday, August 07, 2002 - 04:34 pm:    Argh ! I am registered this time and I got another kind of error when posting the image... Erik.   Erik SCHALL (Eriknc) Posted on Wednesday, August 07, 2002 - 04:40 pm:    Ok, sorry for all the trouble. I just gor it to work in the practice area So any feedback about this one ? Best regards. Erik.   John Posted on Wednesday, August 07, 2002 - 06:04 pm:    I have one of the racks. Had it for 2.5 years with no problems. I have done a lot of rutted outback AUS roads with no cracks or wear. The load carrying bars for the channel between the upright supports spread the load very well. The rack is rated to 160KG. In AUS you can get the same rack in steel or Alloy. Mine is alloy as it is much lighter (my wife and I can fit and remove easily). Any more specific questions, just ask.

John   Erik SCHALL (Eriknc) Posted on Wednesday, August 07, 2002 - 09:35 pm:    John, thank you very much for your feedback. We are nearly neighbours I know it exists in aluminium and I wanted this version badly... but the TJM outlet in New Caledonia asked TJM australia who answered that this product was no longer available. Moreover, they only have one steel model available in stock. Too bad ! It is a shame they stopped producing the one you have... lucky you Thank you again. Best regards. Erik SCHALL. New Caledonia.   John N (John_Tdi_Aus) Posted on Wednesday, August 07, 2002 - 10:01 pm:    Erik If I were you (and you really wanted alloy) I would make a call direct to AUS because I had a mate buy a new one just 4 weeks ago. They are made in/around brisbane. John   Barry Posted on Wednesday, August 07, 2002 - 11:32 pm:    I don't know if they carry TJM roof racks, but I got great service from www.4wdwarehouse.com.au who sent me TJM DSII bull bar before they were available in the USA. -Barry   John N (John_Tdi_Aus) Posted on Thursday, August 08, 2002 - 12:54 am:    Good thought Barry, 4wdwarehouse do do tjm racks thats worth Erik checking also http://www.barsnracks.com.au/4wd.html does them as thats where my best price came from.... whether they ship O/S I'm not sure but worth an email. John   Erik SCHALL (Eriknc) Posted on Thursday, August 08, 2002 - 04:23 am:    John, Barry, thank you very much for these links. I will try them. Best regards. Erik Schall. New Caaledonia.   Robert Kann Posted on Thursday, August 08, 2002 - 07:30 am:    I rang TJM's factory today and the do not make the rack any more and have no more in stock. I am going to look for a second hand one. I believe they are the best looking on on the market however at $1400AUS no wonder the couldn't sell them   Eriknc Posted on Friday, August 09, 2002 - 01:12 am:    Robert, this is exactly what i've been told also. Too bad Regards. Erik
