Materials and Build Quality
The combination of T6 aluminium and 3CR12 stainless steel ensures the rack is both strong and corrosion resistant. This is particularly important for Australian conditions where coastal salt spray, dust, and heavy rainfall can degrade inferior materials quickly. The black epoxy powder coating adds an extra layer of protection while giving a sleek, matte finish that complements the Jimny’s rugged aesthetic.
Installation and Mounting Details
The Slimline II Roof Rack kit for the Suzuki Jimny is designed for straightforward installation, with no drilling required. This preserves the integrity and value of your vehicle.
The kit includes 6 Gutter Mount Legs that securely attach the rack to the rain gutters of your Jimny. The height from the vehicle’s roof to the top of the rack can be calculated by adding the height of the Slimline II Tray (50mm / 2″) to the height of the legs.
