Description Plus

Pre-Order: ETA End September. Every kilogram on your roof matters. That's why we built this backbone entirely from aluminium, delivering the strength needed for serious touring while keeping unnecessary weight, height and wind noise to a minimum.

Manufactured from heavy-duty 4mm aluminium (where many alternatives use 3mm aluminium or heavy steel) it weighs just 4.1kg while creating a strong, low-profile mounting system for compatible roof platforms or cross bars.

This listing is for the backbone mounting system only. Compatible roof platforms and cross bars are sold separately.

FAQs Plus

Why choose aluminium over steel?

Aluminium offers excellent strength while significantly reducing weight and eliminating the risk of rust.

At just 4.1kg, this backbone system helps maximise your available roof load for the gear that actually matters.

Why is your backbone different?

Our backbone is manufactured from 4mm aluminium, whereas many alternatives use 3mm aluminium or heavier steel construction.

The result is a lightweight yet incredibly strong mounting system that keeps roof weight, overall vehicle height and wind noise to a minimum.

Do I need to drill my Pajero?

If your Pajero has factory roof rails, no drilling is required.

Vehicles without factory roof rails require a different installation method, with a step-by-step guide available on our YouTube channel.

I bought the backbone and platform

I bought the backbone and platform. It was a little tricky to install but well worth it. It fits the Pajero really well and looks awesome on.

Thank you for your positive review! We're glad the backbone and platform fit well and look great on your Pajero. Enjoy your upgrade!

New aluminium backbone system is spot on

Great job with the new aluminium backbone system. All parts required are supplied and with the online videos by BGT4X4 and others, fitment is well described 👌

Great to hear thanks Joel enjoy!

Hey, will these fit all models of Mitsubishi pajero 5 door long wheel base?
I Have a 2012 Mitsubishi pajero 5 door
Thank you

BGT4X4

Hey Jasper, yes it does. Models with roof rails will be straight bolt on where no roof rail models will require drilling. See our YT videos for more info

Hi! I came across your website.
We have a pajero 2011 and want to convert it to do a big lap.
We have two questions:
- is it possible to buy the backbone and then install the rhino pioneer flat rack on it without special mounts?
- or is it possible to mount our kings adventure rooftop tent onto the BGT 4x4 roof rack? And the same goes for a 270 awning for example kings or rhino. Do they fit onto your rack without special mounts?
Thanks in regards!

BGT4X4

Hey Rutger. Awesome!

Not sure about the rhino platform onto our backbone. I believe special mounts needed but can be wrong. Yes you can mount RTT to our backbone or roof rack. We will release cross bars for RTT soon to have the lowest possible setup. The 270 bolts onto the roof rack without drilling or other mounts required. We have a kings one.
