Roof Storage

Jimny's are tiny, we all know this. Luckily there is a solution in the form of a whole bunch of different style Roof Rack systems!

Set up your Suzuki Jimny for touring with our range of roof racks and platforms, including options for both the 3 door (JB74) and 5 door (JC74) Jimny XL. Whether you’re carrying camping gear, recovery boards or just want an keep your swag outside of your Jimny - this collection helps you maximise space while keeping your rig adventure-ready.

The Suzuki Jimny is an icon of off-road capability, but its compact size often leaves owners wanting more precious cargo space. The MegaJimny Roof Storage collection is the definitive solution for maximising your Jimny's utility, transforming the roof into a versatile, load-bearing platform. This collection features a curated selection of premium roof racks, low-profile platforms, and heavy-duty load bars designed specifically for the Jimny's unique dimensions and structural requirements. Whether you're planning a weekend camping trip, a serious overlanding expedition, or simply need to transport bulky items that just won't fit on the inside of your Jimny, our roof storage solutions provide the essential external capacity you need.

This category is paramount for Jimny owners because it unlocks the vehicle's full potential as an adventure machine. By moving bulky gear like spare tires, recovery boards, and camping equipment to the roof, you free up critical space inside the cabin for passengers and more accessible items (Whilst also not scratching up the inside of your Jimny!). Our racks are the foundation for a complete external setup, ready to integrate with specialised gear from our Roof Rack Accessories collection. For those who live the overlanding lifestyle, pairing a robust roof rack with gear from our Camping Gear and Recovery & Protection collections ensures you are fully equipped for any challenge the Australian outback throws your way. Invest in a MegaJimny roof storage system and redefine your Jimny's adventure capacity.

Our roof storage systems are engineered for the extreme demands of off-road driving while maintaining the Jimny's aesthetic and handling. A primary feature across our range is the use of lightweight, high-grade aluminium construction. This material choice is critical, as it minimises the added weight to your vehicle, which is essential given the Jimny's low dynamic roof load limit. The lightweight design helps preserve the vehicle's centre of gravity and reduces unnecessary strain on the suspension.

The low-profile design of our platforms is another key feature, reducing wind resistance and noise, which are common issues with poorly designed racks. Many of our systems feature an integrated T-slot channel system, providing unparalleled modularity. This allows you to quickly and securely attach a vast array of accessories - from light bars and awnings to jerry can holders, without drilling or complex modifications. The durable, UV-resistant powder-coat finish ensures longevity and resistance to the harsh Australian climate.

The practical benefits are immediate and significant. By distributing weight evenly and securely on the roof, you enhance your vehicle's utility for both street and trail use. For serious off-roaders, the added height and weight from a loaded rack can be perfectly complemented by a proper Lift Kits and Suspension upgrade, improving ground clearance and handling. Furthermore, moving bulky items out of the cabin leaves more room for comfort and organization, which can be further optimised with solutions from our Interior collection. Our roof storage systems are not just racks; they are performance-enhancing utility platforms.

The MegaJimny Roof Storage collection is specifically designed for a perfect, secure fit on the modern Suzuki Jimny platform. Our products are guaranteed to be compatible with the JB74/JC74 Jimny (2018+ models), including the popular three-door variants. We also offer a growing selection of roof storage solutions that are compatible with the newer JC74 XL 5-door model, ensuring that owners of the extended Jimny can also maximise their cargo capacity. Please check individual product listings for specific 5-door compatibility notes.

A critical consideration for all Jimny owners is the vehicle's dynamic roof load limit, which is typically 30kg. This limit includes the weight of the roof rack itself. Our lightweight aluminium designs are engineered to maximise your usable cargo capacity within this safety limit. Installation is designed to be as non-invasive as possible, utilizing the vehicle's existing factory mounting points. This means no drilling is required for both JB74/JC74 models, ensuring a clean, reversible installation. For owners of the 5-door model, exploring our JC74 XL Parts collection is recommended to ensure seamless integration with other accessories. For those looking to compensate for the added weight and wind resistance of a loaded rack, considering an upgrade from our Performance collection can help maintain optimal driving dynamics.

What is the maximum weight I can safely carry on my Jimny's roof rack?

Both Suzuki Jimny's (JB74 3 door/JC74 5 door XL) have a critical dynamic roof load limit of 30kg. This figure includes the weight of the roof rack itself. Our lightweight aluminium racks weigh approximately 18-22kg, leaving you with a usable cargo capacity of 8-12kg while driving. The static load limit (when the vehicle is parked) is much higher, typically around 200kg, which is relevant for roof top tents.

Will installing a roof rack require drilling into my Jimny's roof?

For the current generation Jimny (JB74/JC74, 2018 onwards), our roof storage systems are designed to utilize the existing factory gutter mounting channels along the roof. This means no drilling is required for a standard installation, ensuring the process is clean, secure, and fully reversible.

Are these roof racks compatible with the new 5-door Jimny (JC74 XL)?

Yes, we offer specific roof storage solutions that are compatible with the new JC74 XL 5-door model. These racks are designed to accommodate the longer roofline of the 5-door variant (which is approx. 300mm~ longer). We recommend checking the product description and also browsing our JC74 XL Parts collection to ensure you select the correct model for your vehicle.

How does a roof rack affect my Jimny's fuel economy and handling?

Any item added to the roof will increase wind resistance and raise the vehicle's centre of gravity, which can slightly impact fuel economy and handling, especially at highway speeds. Our racks are designed to be low-profile to minimise this effect. We highly recommend ensuring your tires are correctly inflated and that you load the heaviest items as low as possible on the rack.

What kind of warranty is provided with the roof storage systems?

All MegaJimny roof storage systems come with a 1-3 Year Manufacturer's Warranty covering defects in materials and workmanship. This warranty ensures the structural integrity and finish of the rack under normal operating conditions. For more details on what is covered, please refer to the full terms in the Shipping, Warranty & Returns section, or check out our Underbody Protection collection for other products with similar warranty coverage.

Can I install a roof top tent on these roof racks?

Yes, our roof platforms are suitable for most standard roof top tents (RTTs). While the dynamic load limit (30kg) must be respected while driving, the static load limit (up to 200kg) is more than sufficient to safely support an RTT and two adults when the vehicle is parked. Always verify the combined weight of your RTT and the rack against the Jimny's static limit.

What is the benefit of the T-slot channel system?

The integrated T-slot channel system provides maximum modularity and versatility. It allows you to quickly and securely mount a wide range of accessories - such as eye bolts, light bar brackets, and recovery gear holders anywhere along the rack's perimeter or slats. This eliminates the need for custom fabrication and makes reconfiguring your setup simple and fast.
