MEXICOWANDERER
Nov 17, 2014Explorer
- Rola Rack is an Australian company, prices are great, shipping costs are a little spicy for my budget ($565.00)
- Car is tinny like any K car but I would prefer to leave the headliner untouched
- The car has 88,000 original miles and I just spent a small fortune on new CV joints, brakes, water pump, timing belt, yadda, windshield, yadda, A/C compressor, springs and struts
- New USA cars cost a fortune, then a king's ransom to import
- Mexican cars are all manual shift because of a dearth of automatic transmission mechanics and parts
- Bottom line is for better or worse the car keeps as much dignity as a K car can muster
- New paint sometime in January
- Anything worth anything with four wheels is at risk down here
- So a roof rack with security cargo net is better than abandoning all of my hard earned LED stuff, electronics, and all the other expensive junk. The box of medical gear by itself, BiPap, masks, hoses, filters, accessories, plus tons of surplus medicine pills takes a 16"X 20"X 8" box in itself
- The extreme very best (lowest) amount of transportation money I am going to need is in excess of six hundred US Dollars between here and home. Not counting food, or hotel, etc. Having the rig would allow me to stuff compartments and spend $2,500 to do the same route
- So, hello cargo rack!
