In Kenya, the love and passion for owning 4x4s has grown immensely, and most surprisingly, it is that folks who stay in urban areas own 4×4’s more than those in rural areas, which is quite ironic because in town the roads are good and of a higher standard compared to the rural areas. Anyway, that is Kenya for you, where people live life to their fulfillment.
Whether you drive your 4×4 in town, or use it for overlanding & off-road expeditions, or even as a daily driver, one accessory continues to become predominantly important: a roof rack. Choosing the right roof rack for your 4×4 dramatically increases your vehicle’s carrying capacity while simultaneously lending it a bold and imposing appearance.

The four most popular roof-carrying systems in Kenya are the platform roof rack, a roof box, a roof basket, and a crossbar. Whether you own a Toyota Land Cruiser, Ford Everest, Nissan Patrol, a Mitsubishi Pajero Sport, or a Lexus LX 600, you definitely need one of the mentioned roof carriers.

- Platform Roof Rack
A platform roof rack is a flat, low-profile aluminum or steel deck that covers the entire roof surface. Overlanders and off-road enthusiasts will love this. It acts as a foundation for other accessories like a canopy, side awning, recovery gear, spare wheel mounts, camping gear, and jerry cans.
A platform roof rack is best suited for safari expeditions, heavy-duty cargo, and overlanding.

- Roof Box
A roof box is a lockable aerodynamic storage compartment designed to keep your cargo or luggage free from dust, mud, or even rain. Before installing a roof box, you will first need a crossbar.
The beauty of a roof box is that it can be installed on any car. It perfectly fits the Toyota Harrier, Mazda CX-5, Nissan X-trail, BMW X5, Mercedes-Benz GLE, Audi Q5, Subaru Forester, and many other cars.
- Roof Basket
A roof basket is an open steel or aluminum basket that helps keep cargo on your car roof secure. If you have heavy camping equipment, or you want to carry firewood, or perhaps recovery equipment, a roof basket will do you good.
The good part is that it is quite affordable and easy to install, its only drawback is that it creates a lot of wind drag that could more likely interfere with your fuel economy.
A roof basket perfectly fits the Jeep Cherokee, Ford Ranger, Toyota Hilux, Mitsubishi Pajero, Toyota Prado, Suzuki Grand Vitara, Nissan Patrol, and so many other cars in Kenya.

- Crossbar
A crossbar is the basic, most affordable, and beautiful upgrade you can do to your car. Factory crossbars don’t last for long, hence the need for an aftermarket crossbar. They act as a foundation for mounting roof boxes, bike racks, and light cargo.
GOOD OFFER: Mitsubishi Lancer Alloy Wheels
A crossbar perfectly fits any kind of car, from the Volkswagen Tiguan, Porsche Cayenne, Audi Q3, Mercedes GLE, Mazda CX-5, Subaru Outback, and GWM Haval.
