Mitsubishi Pajero & Pajero Sport EEZI-AWN K9 Roof Rack 2.0m x 1.25m
EEZI-AWN K9 roof racks are built very differently from others. Purpose designed to withstand more severe & sustained 4wd use than mainstream brands can handle.
XpeditioNZ understands Pajero's better than just about anyone in NZ! Our original world expedition vehicle was built on heavily modified Shogun/Pajero - the black vehicle pictured. That vehicle has been fitted with several roof racks over the years, most recently a Rhino Rack Backbone system. The EEZI-AWN K9 system is easily one of the best upgrades we've ever made to that vehicle, and by far the best performing roof rack system ever fitted to this vehicle.
Developed and tested over two years in Africa to be the world's toughest roof racks. Proven on every major continent on Earth by serious global 4wd expedition groups.
But also attractive roof racks that offer an ultra low 35mm profile, whisper quiet performance and extra versatility with twice the number of tracks/channels.
To see how a true commercial expedition-grade roof rack is built differently from others, you need to flip them over and compare how they're built underneath:
- Super heavy duty support structure beneath the main planks, welded in. Others aren't engineered like this. Many have no support beneath the main planks whatsoever.
- Thick alloy corner sections welded in. No plastic/nylon corner inserts fixed with screws or rivets.
- Developed over a two year period at EEZI-AWN's world renowned facility in South Africa, where since 1983 some of the world's best engineered 4wd overland gear has been designed & manufactured.
- Unmatched 10 powder coated all metal track mount legs achieve unmatched load distribution between the fully reinforced platform rack and super robust vehicle roof tracks.
- Alloy wind deflector included, while front to rear planks naturally create less wind noise/resistance.
- Twin 8mm channels on every plank, plus a 6mm perimeter track. The tracks take a standard bolt head, not a fiddly channel nut.

The most proven, commercial expedition-grade roof racks in NZ. Go beyond the mainstream brands for better gear for serious 4wd overland builds.
Expert Reviews
"South African company Eezi-Awn has developed a true expedition-strength, flat-deck roof rack that delivers superior carrying capacity, as well as low wind noise and minimal drag".
"All up, the K9 is the most versatile, practical and rugged rack I’ve ever seen or used.... It’s hard to pick a fault with the K9 and I’d give it a 99/100 score".
4x4 Australia."For extra strength, the K9 rack is welded as opposed to being bolted together to prevent any rattling over time. The K9’s longitudinal slat design and slim 35mm profile are designed to reduce both wind resistance and wind noise, aided by a deflector panel up front. This makes the K9 rack perfect for fitment on an SUV where wind noise is an important consideration".
