Navara bike rack

[Steve Bullman]

I'm thinking mounted against the bulk head then lashed round the c channels in the bed, and the roof rack

Well what a pain in the backside it is finding a bike rack to fit a navara roof rack. Has anyone here found something that fits please? Not interested in the towbar mounted ones, mainy because I don't have a towbar as yet and I need something for this weekend.

 

I'd have thought Nissan would do something that would fit in the c channels in the buck but can find nothing online.

 

Cheers

 

When I had my Navara the Thule single bike carriers clamped onto the cross bars, the only problem was that the cross bars were too thin so I slid some rubber pipe over the bottom part of the clamp to pack it out, never lost a bike, I dont think:confused1:

A variation on the above might get you thru the weekend, some wheels off to clear the No. plate and a strap across rear wheels to lock down.

 

Gives you time to buy a longer term fox for the rack option.

This is the type of carrier I used to have on my Navara, you just need to slide a short length of rubber hose over the bottom of the clamp to pack it out.

Worked fine and do fit over the 70mm crossbars:thumbup:

What about something like this mounted in the back. Just remove front wheel and tighten forks onto this. Looks like a low impact and easy choice.

 

 

Halfords do one that comes in under £20.

Just had a little look online and you can mount off the floor as this pic with the Thule 821. Save it getting damaged so easily when using the back to move wood or whatever else.

Problem with that is I don't have the bed length due to the roller canister, cheers anyway though
