FAQs Plus

How much does the complete roof system weigh?

Just 8.9kg total. The aluminium backbone weighs 4.1kg and the four aluminium cross bars weigh 4.8kg combined.

This helps leave more of your vehicle's available roof load for the gear you actually want to carry.

Why use aluminium instead of steel?

Aluminium provides excellent strength while keeping weight significantly lower and eliminating the risk of rust.

We've used 4mm aluminium throughout the backbone and cross bars to create a strong setup without unnecessarily adding weight to your roof.

Do I need to drill my Pajero?

If your Pajero has factory roof rails, no drilling is required. The backbone uses the existing factory mounting points.

Models without factory roof rails require an alternative installation method which involves drilling. We have a complete step-by-step installation guide available on our YouTube channel.

Can I mount a rooftop tent?

Yes. The 4-bar setup provides a strong platform for compatible rooftop tents.

The approximate distance between the front and rear cross bars is 1830mm, so ensure your rooftop tent mounting rails are compatible with this spacing.

Can I mount the cross bars underneath the backbone?

Yes. The cross bars can be mounted above or below the backbone brackets, giving you more flexibility depending on your setup.

What Pajeros does this suit?

The backbone directly suits Mitsubishi Pajero NM, NP, NS, NT, NW & NX LWB models (2000–2021).

Models with factory roof rails use the factory mounting points. Models without factory roof rails require an alternative installation method which involves drilling.

Does everything required for installation come with the bundle?

The backbone includes the roof mounts and stainless steel mounting hardware required for the backbone and cross bar setup.

Accessories such as rooftop tents, awnings and recovery boards pictured are not included.
