Engineered to blend seamlessly with a vehicle’s aesthetics, Yakima says its RuggedLine system is much more than just a looker – it is rugged, it is reliable, and it is always ready for action. 
 “The RuggedLine isn’t just easy on the eyes…when combined with the LockNLoad Platform, loading gear becomes a simple endeavour,” Yakima Marketing and Communications Manager, Hollie Marsh, said.
Whether it’s camping, fishing, or anything else you’re taking along for the ride, Yakima says its RuggedLine products make it easier than ever.
“Diversity is Yakima’s strength, and that is reflected in the range of RuggedLine fits,” Hollie said.
So far, Yakima has tailored the RuggedLine to 37 vehicles to ensure a seamless match, and the company says it is constantly adapting and adding more fits to accommodate new vehicle releases.  
The newest addition to the range is the RuggedLine for the iconic 79 Series Toyota Landcruiser.
“This vehicle has long been a cult favourite in the Australian 4×4 scene, and it’s not hard to see why. With its enduring appeal and versatility, it is a 4×4 that is truly built for the bold and deserves a mounting system that is just as impressive,” Hollie said.
“So, what sets the RuggedLine for 79 apart? First off, it offers a lower profile compared to other leg fits, which enhances the aesthetics while keeping functionality at its core.
“Thoughtfully designed, it can accommodate a narrower width platform size that complements the overall look of your vehicle. 
“But it is not all about looks. RuggedLine offers three clamping points on each side, for a stronger, more secure fit that’s symmetrical to the vehicle.
“Yakima has taken great care to design this system to align with the Landcruiser’s unique gutter profile, offering a harmony of style and strength.
“When it comes to installation, it is all about smart design and ease of use.”
With cleverly designed pivot pieces, Yakima says the RuggedLine attaches to the LockNLoad platform like a dream.
“What truly sets this system apart from the crowd, is the top-down bolting,” Hollie said.
“All it takes is a simple 13mm nut, and you won’t have to grapple with the awkwardness of reaching underneath to secure your platform like you might experience with others on the market. 
“Plus, with unique before-and-after adjustment options, you can easily slide the platform back and forth. This means you can perfectly centre it to your vehicle with no need for do-overs or complete removals. Setting up has never been so straightforward. 
“So, whether you’re taking your rig camping in the bush, or heading off on a classic family road trip, Yakima is with you for every part of the journey.”
