Compatibility
To find out your roof loading rate you should search on your vehicle manual wich is the document that provides essential information about your vehicle. Roof load ratings vary by model, roof structure, and roof rack system, but commercial vans and minibuses generally fall into a similar range. For most vans: (1) Dynamic roof load (while driving): typically 100–150 kg (2) Static roof load (parked e.g. with a roof tent): often 250–400 kg+ depending on rack structure
OZ179 is compatible with a variety of vehicles with rain gutters often manufactured between 1969-2016 but in some cases, even later.
⚠️ Important notes for this table:
- This is not advice
- Weight must be evenly distributed across mounting points.
- High-roof vans sometimes have lower dynamic limits due to stability, not structural strength.
- Double-check the exact body style (year/generation)
- Check your gutter condition before purchase

Gutter mounts or Gutter legs/brackets
Gutter mounts represent an older style of roof rack installation that saw its peak popularity around the mid-90s. They´re often associated with vehicles pre-2005 like the GU Patrol, the 75-79 series Land Cruisers, and early Toyota HiAce models. These mounts are recognized for their simplicity in installation compared to newer systems.
A gutter mount roof rack is specifically designed to attach securely to the rain gutters lining the edges of certain vehicle roofs. These gutters serve as pre-existing channels that offer a natural point of attachment for the rack. The setup typically consists of crossbars spanning the width of the roof, supported by mounting feet designed to grip onto the rain gutters firmly.
Installing a gutter mount roof rack involves positioning the mounting feet onto the rain gutters and securely tightening them. The design ensures a snug fit, with the mounting feet tailored to match the shape and size of the rain gutters. This snug fit not only provides stability but also ensures the safety of various cargo types when the vehicle is in motion. Moreover, the compatibility with rain gutters simplifies the installation process, eliminating the need for additional modifications to the vehicle´s roof and making it a convenient option for expanding carrying capacity without hassle.
