I can. We fabricate stuff for the farm. Is there a standard bracket or clamp ? What fits the rail on the roof under the plastic trim ?

genuine mitsubishi ones will clamp onto the brackets in the rain gutters
thule or the like go over the edge of the roof and 'hook' over where the doors shut

if you already have a thule roofrack/bars on another vehicle then you may be able to change just the fitting kit to make it fit yours
from memory the fitting kit is thule 1236

Yeah but I bet you can't carry as much weight on the Navara ones ... they might snap

Thule footpack 2041 is the fitiing kit that goes in the roof rails if my memory serves me correct...

You will still need the bars and footpack though , this is the bit the actual enables the footpack to use the hidden gutter brackets rather than clip in round the top of the door

I think the navars snap chassis before the roof bars!

In all seriousness though chef ... are your Navara ones bolted through at the same points as the Gutter fixing points? Just wondered as I'd guess if not then you are relying on the roof skin to take the weight?

I made 10mm spreader plates and fitted them under the roof so it is a bit more substantial than the roof skin.
The mitsi gutter mount roof bars are the best desing for carring the most weight though as the load is transferred down the B and C pillars the door mount ones are not!

My ones go through the A and C pillars as well as the front and rear X members in the roof

I can stand on the Navara ones just about, the proper mitsi ones 4 people could stand on those
