They should. Those Dolossa, they took one out the sea after 20 years and tested it, the concrete still hadn't fully cured.

I have finished a custom mount for MaxTrax to be mounted on the customer's Hilux roofrack in front of the rooftop tent. He wanted them to act as a bit of a wind deflecor so they sit at a 45° angle inside a custom bag that he had made. The white plastic tube is to store some tent poles. The frame has been powder coated.

Very nice work Paul, but at that gentle angle those Max tracks are going to catch a lot of wind...

Yes they will catch wind Manny. They will be mounted in front of the rooftop tent, so should give less wind resistance than the vertical front on the tent. Once it's fitted to the vehicle, I'll post more photos.
The customer explained what he wanted and I did the design from there.
