They look very similar!! Maybe a bit taller though?

I know that Thule do the same as mine but a bit taller, its a 931 or something.

Hi All

I'm one of those asking CR about the roof rack. I've decided to try to make custom 'feet'/mounts but does anyone have any pics of the Yakima Ironman rack and importantly how it attached to the VX's roof rails. I'm hoping to fabricate similar attachments but would like to know how Isuzu addressed the problem.

Thanks

someone already made some custom ones. I remember some photo's in the gallery

You will find what you're looking for in Dino's gallery...

Cheers!. As long as the ends where it locks on are the same a bit of tallness can be dealt with in the modding way.

Hi CR,

As the 15cm recesses in the top of the rails are not parallel with the roof rails (they toe in from front of the VX to the back). When you use the Thule clamps, do they effectively only make a single point contact with the side of the rail? Or do the clamp plates float enough to make contact along the length of the rail?

They make contact the hole way, it's very sturdy !

Actually they are a better,sturdier rack than the stock rack.They just don't look as cool!

I ended up getting the one i linked above.
And copied crotchs idea of cutting it down
Now sits really good. Also brought a roof basket, just tidying it up.
