Every kilogram on your roof matters. That’s why this backbone is made entirely from heavy-duty 4mm aluminium, giving your Pajero a strong mounting foundation for compatible roof platforms and cross bars without adding unnecessary weight up top.

At just 4.1kg, it keeps the system lightweight and low-profile while still using thicker 4mm aluminium construction where many alternatives use 3mm aluminium or heavier steel.

Keeping weight down on the roof means more of your available roof load can go towards the gear you actually want to carry, while the low-profile design also helps minimise added vehicle height and wind noise.

The full aluminium construction provides excellent corrosion resistance, and models fitted with factory roof rails use the existing factory mounting points with no drilling required.

Whether you're setting up for touring, camping or simply need more carrying capacity, this gives you a strong, lightweight foundation without unnecessarily loading up the roof.

4mm aluminium • Only 4.1kg • Low profile • Corrosion resistant • 2-year warranty

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

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!

I fitted the cane toad backbone with Rola and worked out well. issue is that the backbone is now rusting! I am seeking something that doesn’t corrode and works with a Rola tray?

BGT4X4

Hey Mate, our setup is aluminium so rust won't be an issue. We cannot confirm if a Rola is a direct fit but you can always make it work.

Are the middle mounts slotted to fit over the seam of the car?

BGT4X4

Hey Matthew, yes they are. Feel free to watch our install video to see what they look like :)

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.

What do you drive?
