The BGT4X4 Backbone System is the structural foundation of our Pajero roof rack setup, designed for owners who want serious strength without excess height, weight or noise.

This listing is for the steel backbone system only, ideal if you already have a compatible platform or are building your setup in stages.

Built for strength and peace of mind

Weighing just 10kg, the backbone is engineered to distribute load across the Pajero’s factory mounting points, creating a solid, reliable base for a roof rack platform and touring accessories.

Low-profile design

Designed to sit close to the roof, the backbone keeps overall rack height down and helps minimise wind noise when paired with a low-profile platform.

Fitment notes

  • Designed for Mitsubishi Pajero models 2006–2021
  • Gen 4 models with factory roof rails bolt into factory points
  • Vehicles without roof rails will require drilling
  • Gen 3 NM/NP with roof rails may require drilling

If you’re unsure about fitment, we’re happy to help confirm before purchase.

We keep our shipping as transparent and fair as possible. Here’s how it works:

In-stock warehouse items

Items stocked at our Brisbane warehouse usually dispatch within 1–3 business days.

Supplier-direct items

Some products are shipped directly from our trusted brand partners. These will dispatch from the supplier, and estimated lead times are shown on the product page where applicable.

Shipping rates

  • Smaller items are shipped via flat-rate satchels where possible
  • Larger or bulky items are quoted based on size and weight
  • Supplier-direct items are charged at the supplier’s freight rate
