Any of you out there got a late model outback that you use to roof top an AI? If so what do you use bars etc? Some genius at s uh baru decided to create some sort of integrated roof bar system that means that the bar separation front to back is only 30" which i'm assuming is too close? Correct me if I'm wrong.
Any advice would be gratefully received.
Thanks JJ.
Hi JetJester
Thankfully the Australian versions of the Outback did not get the fancy roof rails until 2014.
I had a 2010 outback until last winter when it got written off by a collision with a kangaroo (common occurrence here).
When looking for a replacement I had to limit the choice to a max 2013 version so that the roof rails were the old style.
Australia also has the advantage of getting the diesel version and that is still available with a manual transmission.
Averaging US 36.3mpg (6.5l/100km) so far with 2013 model.
See my TI roof racking solution here.
