    G'day mate,

    Thanks for the link... I was mainly interested to get your thoughts on the differences it's made for you. eg: any difference in the way the turbo spools up/low rev torque, or any increase in grunt Vs noise and economy etc.


    Cheers,
    Andrew

            Well after a great trip to Brissy I can say the Tradesman Flat Rack will stay on the Paj I wont bother taking off for when not needed..

            The low profile hasn't stopped me using undercover parking as long as I have 1.96m clearance, (& that's with the awning attached), also with the wind deflector which does the job proven by the economy not being effected wind noise is negligible even on the return trip when I struck 40klm/hr + winds..

            On the economy as reported on way up 1 got between 10.5 & 11 ltrs per 100ks sitting on the limits when safe..
            Return trip was during the NSW fires and the wind was a-blowing big time so not expecting it to better that, even with the new exhaust, I haven't filled up yet after the last 950ks but the 1st half of the trip saw 12s which I was still happy with considering the wind.

            So verdict from me is a big thumbs up well worth a look...

            Gus.

            PS. As the rack will live on my Paj I'll report how it stands up with time & use.
