Hi guys,
I would like to say hello & would like some advice on getting a Demountable It ticks all of the boxes for our needs and seems the obvious choice for us.
Have been searching for a while but it seems as any come on the market they are snapped up extremely quickly . I have looked at a Northstar 700dl & looks perfect ! BUT I have a few concerns on the over hang . It overhangs 11inches either side of my Isuzu rodeo 2.5 double cab and 33 inches at the back with the tail gate closed . I didn't have a chance to try mounting it as I have a canopy on the truck at the moment . But I am also concerned about the weight all being beyond the rear axel & the front of my truck pointing up at the sky!
The other thing that I was not keen on was the mounting brackets for the truck on the Northstar, from what I gather the brackets are bolted through the rear wings & going off road with the demountable I would worry the bolts would pull through the thin body panels, has anyone mounted their Northstar another way ?
Or is this particular model & make wrong for my truck ?
any help will be hugely appreciated !!!
