Hi All,

Picked up our Kluger yesterday - love it so far!

We have put aftermarket wheels on and am thinking of selling the OEM's.

They have about 18kms... so almost new is prob a better description!!

Is anyone on here interested or maybe i should just ebay?

Our Kluger is Grande AWD Black, tow bar, nudge bar, parking sensors, stainless steps, roof racks, rubber cargo mat etc etc with 22 inch wheels.

As the colour choice was not mine the better half has promised to wash weekly (!!!!!).

I will try and get some photos today and post.

Thanks to all online who helped me decide on the purchase.

Hey Dan

Do you still have the wheels? If so, how much you want for them?

Thanks for your help

I have decided to buy the grey roof rails from oznet.

But I am also looking for roof racks to used with those rails. Which roof racks have you used with those rails.

I was looking at ones also sold by oznet, but they said the longest ones are for up t 105 cm between rails , and I have measure 113 for the kluger

What about you.

I would like something not very expensive. Below 150 if possible

Thanks

I think you will struggle to get racks to suit the rails for under $150. I have some adjustable Thule racks from my old Subaru Outback. The clamps suit but the bars themselves are too short....Kluger is wider than Outback. I have been trying to get to the local roof rack specialists to see what the bars are worth. Will let you know. Hopefully before XMas.

Cheers

Anyone got photos of where and how they mounted a holder for their mobile in a kluger? Mine's a KXR so no bluetooth, needs to be nearish the 12v for charger and aux plug for music/handsfree. I tried jamming a suction cap mount thing into the forward drink holder but it doesnt stick down, otherwise a pretty good spot.

Was looking for something like this a while ago when I had a Commodore. They are a clink in dash mount system. Below is a link to something similar:

click style dash mount

You insert the mount into the gaps between the fascia??

Will be a little way away from your 12v though.....

Here's another one...

I know the local car kit/stereo installer uses these products.

kbosward> I went to look at some Thule roof racks and boxes today at roof rack city in artarmon sydney and they were shocked when they saw them they were really curious and tugging at the damn rails to see how sturdy. they reckon it can hold more than 50kg. I told them it uses the same slots and no extra drilling was required. Also I think they're interested in buying from oznest as they always get roof rail enquries from kxr owners.

When I picked up my roof box from TJM in Wollongong they were of the opinion that any non-OEM rails would be illegal (that was before I was aware of the rails from oznest). Of course that could just be salespeak.

Does anyone have a legal opinion in this?

Hey Ken, what a load of hog wash from the TJM guys! OEM roof rails would be no more illegal that non-Toyota roof racks that TJM sell. We all know Toyota doesnt make their roof racks probably made by Rhino or Thule! At the end of the day, oznest have stated their suggested rating of 50kg, so if you or I or anyone else load up them with more and they fly off, then thats our problem.

Have been hanging out for these roof rails for weeks now. Been out of the country and only just got back so I will have to order a pair now that a few of you guys ave them and are really happy with them.

Gerds, like the pic with the rails & foggys! Plan to do the same with my graphite KXR as well. Sorry to be a copy cat!! But your KXR looks great! Totally agree with about the KXR & KXS price difference. Couldnt justify it myself either.

Cheers
