Jimny Roof Rack Issues We Solved by Designing the Scout Rack
When it comes to researching roof racks for a Suzuki Jimny, every owner asks the same questions: Will the roof rack make noise? Is it hard to install? Can it carry what I need while driving? Most racks fall short somewhere. But what if there was one built to solve all those issues—without sacrificing looks?
Meet the Offroad Animal Suzuki Jimny Scout Rack. Proudly Australian-designed for the Suzuki Jimny JB74 and Jimny XL, this isn’t just another roof rack. It’s a purpose-built response to the real frustrations of off-road enthusiasts. With its stealthy matte black finished powder coat and sleek lines, the Scout Rack gives your Jimny a strong, bold edge. It’s more than gear storage—it’s a statement.
No More Wind Noise
Cruising at freeway speeds with a standard rack or roof bar setup often brings that annoying whistle.
The Scout Rack’s low-profile aerodynamic design crushes wind drag and cuts out the hum. Add the optional wind deflector and you’ll reduce noise further while making room for a 42” LED light bar. Quiet, functional, and clean.
Lightweight Yet Heavy Duty
The Jimny’s factory roof load limit is just 30kg, so keeping your rack light matters. Traditional options weigh up to 27kg, leaving almost no room for gear.
The Scout Rack comes in at just 23kg—giving you space to stay legal while still offering serious strength. It’s rated to hold up to 150kg when stationary, making it perfect for rooftop tents, water tanks, and heavy camping gear. Lightweight, but heavy duty where it counts.
Designed for Jimny and Jimny XL
Unlike generic racks, this setup is specifically built for the Suzuki Jimny and Jimny XL, with a snug, contoured fit that looks like it came from the factory.
It’s also gutter mounted, providing secure attachment while maintaining the Jimny’s clean silhouette. With T-slot bars on all four sides, you can easily mount awnings, recovery gear, jerry cans, or just strap down your weekend kit.
Quick Fit, Easy To Install
No headaches, no special tools. The Scout Rack’s install is rated 2/10 in difficulty, taking about 1 to 1.5 hours from unboxing to trail-ready. No need for a workshop—just some driveway space, your tools and a bit of elbow grease.
Why the Scout Rack Is Worth It
Plenty of Jimny roof racks look the part, but few perform when it counts. Many end up on resale sites after falling short on real-world adventures.
The Scout Rack fixes what most racks get wrong: excessive weight, noisy drives, poor fitment, and a lack of practicality. It’s not a compromise—it’s the strong, purpose-built roof rack your Jimny deserves.
