and IF you are so stuck that you need more "pull" - use a snatch block and double the pulling power :)
Thx all for feedback

roof rack to d4d hilux
Fitted alum canopy with roofrack and cruise control to my hilux before my roadtrip.
But find my hilux heavier on fuel on the open road@120km/h than town driving.
Can this roofrack make a diff in my fuel consumption?
