[QUOTE="condor22, post: 587419, member: 1932"] Got the solar panel remounted on the 4x4 As was - The basket and roof rails were already up there, but by the time the basket was covered by the panel and the Maxtrax, there was next to no room to tie anthting else to. [img]https://www.prospectingaustralia.com/forum/img/member-images/1932/1608191524_rear.jpg[/img] Removed the basket and the roof rails, they are curved and difficult to mount anything to (Holden OEM) [img]https://www.prospectingaustralia.com/forum/img/member-images/1932/1608191537_rear_ver_2.jpg[/img] Had the alum angle bent by a workshop, profiled the edge to the curve of the roof and used the roof rail mounting holes on the car. Saves about 15 kg of weight and about 6" in height. (That's 150mm for the younger gen, lol) Next job is to mount the Maxtrax :) [/QUOTE]
