What sort of roof rack is that? I have an NJ. I'd like to put a rack on it, but I don't want to drill holes.

The roof rails appear to be factory Mitsubishi ones. This vehicle was imported into NZ 2nd hand from Japan and they were on the car when it arrived in NZ. There are a few Jap import Pajeros about with the same roof rails as mine over here.
