Freakin ski/bike rack!
 

I can not believe what a HASSLE it's been to get a freakin rack for this thing!
:(
i really wanted a hitch setup but NOoooooo that ain't gonna happen unless you hack the rear valance/bumper and then, even if, no ground clearance.
finally found these guys
http://rola.com.au/rola/
what a hassle trying to get them shipped, let alone the $$.
had to order thru
http://www.extremelimitsoffroad.com.au/
but they at least take paypal.
i figure if i'm spending $850 overseas i want some recourse if there's a problem.
only other place that i could order from wanted a telegraphic transfer, ala western union.
ARGH!! :angst:
though I finally bit the bullet and have got a rack system on the way.
:D

What did you decide on for brand and options? :)

Judging by what he says in the first post, I'd guess he got a Rola (besides the fact I think they are the only ones that make one for the SVX). :D

One of these days we should do a group buy with these guys to try to get the price down and also then have them all shipped at once to reduce the overseas shipping costs.

DAMN you are a mcguyver for fingering that out
:D

There is one other brand that is available. :p :p They are a very expensive system. :o

well who makes it other than rola?
fes up

I bought a universal roof rack from Canadian Tire that fits half-decently. I never used it though because the kit was incomplete and didn't have the hold-downs for the rear bar. Plus the rear bar would have pushed on one corner of the sunroof and been very close to the front one.

It was $35.:lol:

I would think.....
 

That you could just have one made??

well yes it's called a rola roof rack :)
i was more than willin to fab a hitch assy but after closer inspection........
i'd have had to at least hack some holes in the bumper assy.
i'm gettin the rola w/ 1 bike holder and a tall 4 ski rack.
that way it'll clear the sunroof.
at least i'll be able to use the ski rack,
next season after my blown knee gets repaired.
:mad:

My family lives in Australia... My Rola Roof rails and bike rack is on it's way over from Australia right now :)... Should have it sometime in April and I can't wait!!

Rola is the ONLY manufacturer that currently makes a rack for the SVX... I only know because I've spent the last 3+ years looking...
