Where can I buy this rack?

Does anyone know where to buy this rack that sits on top of these Land Cruisers?
Are they simple to install? Please PM if you know. I'm really looking for one.
Thanks.

Those are two different racks.

The first one looks like a Tradesman Oval tube. They are great racks-well made, light, have full length gutter supports. I have one and I really like it. They used to be available from Man-a-fre. I got mine used, and new they are $$$.

The second one may be a standard Tradesman. WHile not a nice looking as the oval tube rack, they are well made and durable.

I think Tradsman is somehow related to Kaymar, so places that sell Kaymar, are likely to sell the Tradesman line.

I can also recommend the Inti racks available through Mudrak. Disclaimer-my friend is the importer, but they are very nice racks.

THanks.

The one on the left looks like an ARB to me.

It could be! Sure looks like the oval tube tradesman with the floor option, but hard to say for sure as they are similar.

What is your location? Shipping those things can be a beast.

If you are on the Sacramento area, Whiteshark had/has one he would like to sell.

Sorry, he sold it.

This may give you an idea on thier resale value.

For less than half that price you can build one like this:

Which IMHO is MUCH better looking!
