i just got some for my zook two weeks ago. adjustable ones.. if you want pics i will grab some tomorrow for ya mate.
i am using mine for camping and will store only the tent and tarps plus mount the shovel and a highlift in the future. minimal weight is the go.
i scored a rooftop storage bag for 50 bucks off oo.com.au

the racks i have are adjustable and have a key to lock them onto the roof. and are aerodynamic by construction (like an aircraft wing). cost me 90 bucks from the quokka here in Perth.

hope that helps mate

i have 3 rolla roof racks, 2 to hold the rolla basket on and 1 for rooflights

i got the basket from the tip shop for 15 dollars
and cut and welded it to fit on small suzuki roof
i also got all 3 roof racks from tip shop for grand total of $1.45

works a treat. holds swag, tent, tarp, etc
also added some pipe to the sides for tent poles and pegs etc.
also tied the tarp to it to give some extra strength

Take your fibreglass back off. Use your cage. If you want to carry more then get the small cage down at SuperCrap and U-bolt it on top.

If keeping the rear seats dry (and cleanish) you can use my old grey soft top just over the back part.

If it is just for the kayaks get some "soft racks" that strap on. Tie down to your spare wheel and bullbar aswell it it wont move.
