Recomended brand of boat carrier

Hi Jim,

Do you mean just the roof rack or a loader to get them on the roof?

3 loader & roof rack combinations that come to mind are

Tinny Tosser
Custom Boat Loader
Rhino Boat Loader

We had an older style 3.45mt savage on our 80 & 100series, now we have a new 3.7 horizon on the F250.

I have Tinney Tosser had no problem so far , done Cape most of Gulf and QLD outback and haven't had a problem. Jacki can put the boat on (no electric winch)with out any hassels made sure of that just incase. Kilcoy Yowies has one also, Price Dec 06 $2100 includes full floor. If you need Ph no contact me and I'll get it for you.

Regards

Darrell & Jacki

G'day all!
I also have a 100 series Toyota. The other issue that I have yet to come to terms with is the legal weight of a boat loader/carrier and the boat on the roof (so as not to invalidate my insurance). Am I right in saying that the maximum roof load on a 100series is 100kg? Then to the total car load I have to add in the weight of the motor, fishing gear and safety equipment.
Anyone had any experience with the Ultralight boats made in Cairns?

Greg,
Maybe you can help me out here... After reading your post about the allowable weight allocation for a 100 Series Landcruiser I went to my local Toyota dealer and asked them to confirm about the 200kg. Unfortunately, after about a 20 min discussion with the service manager, the spare parts manager, two mechanics and the sales manager it was apparent that no one could tell me the facts or tell me specifically how to find out. Most of them kept trying to tell me that it was determined by the carrier or roofrack rating.... Which to some extent is true but still fails to tell me what the roof loading is rated to. Now I don't intend loading elphants up there but like most other people I want to make sure I don't invalidate my insurance.
I'm not saying you are incorrect (infact I'm hoping you are absolutely correct!!!) Where did you get your information from? or other suggestions on how we can get the accurate info?
Again thanks for your post!
Mike

Hi Everyone!
I spoke with the good people at Rhino Racks at their head office this morning as per the suggestion posted earlier. I spoke with Nick there and he patiently explained that the 100 series landcruiser is rated based on the number of bar positions available, eg 2 positions = 100kg, 3 positions = 150 kg. This was independent of the rating that Rhino give their roof rack bars (50kg each). He said that while Toyota may have a different rating for the 200 series as far as Rhino were concerned they would still only recommend 150kg if it still only has 3 bar positions.
Well at least for me I am going to lay this one to rest and work under the assumption that my 100 series Landcruiser roof will legal handle up to 150kg which would include the load and the rack(s).
Thanks to all that took the time to post replies and suggestions.
