Pioneer 5 Platform with Backbone – Toyota LandCruiser 79 Series

The Toyota LandCruiser 79 Series Double Cab is built for hard work, long-distance touring and serious off-road adventure. A robust roof rack can add valuable carrying capacity while keeping the vehicle's interior available for passengers and essential equipment.

The Rhino-Rack Pioneer 5 Platform with Backbone provides a strong and versatile roof rack solution for the LandCruiser 79 Series, combining a vehicle-specific Backbone mounting system with the proven Pioneer 5 Platform.

Designed for touring, camping, overlanding and everyday adventure, the Pioneer 5 provides a practical foundation for mounting a wide range of Rhino-Rack accessories.

Designed for the LandCruiser 79 Series

The Pioneer 5 and Backbone system has been designed to integrate neatly with the roof of the Toyota LandCruiser 79 Series Double Cab, providing a clean and purposeful appearance.

The vehicle-specific Backbone creates a strong foundation for the platform while allowing the system to sit securely on the vehicle's roof.

For LandCruiser owners who regularly travel off-road or undertake extended touring trips, the combination provides a practical way to carry additional equipment without filling the cabin or load area.

Pioneer 5 – A Versatile Platform

The Pioneer 5 Platform provides a flat, strong and versatile load-carrying surface designed to accommodate a wide range of accessories.

Unlike traditional cross bars, a full platform provides numerous mounting locations, allowing accessories and equipment to be positioned around your particular requirements.

The platform can be configured to carry equipment such as:

Camping equipment
Luggage and storage
Recovery equipment
Awnings
Shovels and touring accessories
Outdoor and adventure equipment
Sporting and recreational gear

This versatility makes the Pioneer 5 particularly well suited to the LandCruiser 79 Series, whether the vehicle is used for weekend adventures or extended overland expeditions.

A Strong Backbone Foundation

The Backbone mounting system provides a vehicle-specific foundation for the Pioneer 5 Platform.

Designed around the LandCruiser 79 Series, the Backbone creates a secure connection between the vehicle and platform while maintaining a clean, integrated appearance.

The result is a roof rack system that looks at home on the rugged 79 Series while providing the strength and versatility required for serious touring.

More Carrying Capacity for Overlanding

The LandCruiser 79 Series is a popular choice for long-distance travel because of its durability and off-road capability. However, extended trips can require a considerable amount of equipment.

The Pioneer 5 provides additional storage and mounting space, allowing bulky equipment to be moved onto the roof while freeing up valuable space inside the vehicle.

This makes it easier to keep your touring equipment organised and accessible.

Whether you're carrying camping equipment, recovery gear, luggage or an awning, the Pioneer 5 provides a flexible platform that can be configured around your adventure.

Built for Adventure

The Pioneer 5 has been designed with adventure and touring in mind. Its flat platform configuration provides numerous mounting options and allows accessories to be positioned exactly where they are needed.

Combined with the LandCruiser-specific Backbone, it creates a practical and durable roof rack system capable of supporting a wide range of touring configurations.

For the LandCruiser owner who wants to build a dedicated overlanding setup, the Pioneer 5 provides an excellent foundation from which to start.

A Clean, Practical Roof Rack Solution

The combination of the Pioneer 5 Platform and Backbone mounting system provides the LandCruiser 79 Series with a roof rack solution that balances functionality, versatility and appearance.

Rather than simply adding a pair of cross bars, the Pioneer 5 transforms the roof into a practical mounting area for the equipment you need most.

From weekend camping trips to extended journeys into remote areas, the system is designed to help you carry more and make better use of your LandCruiser.

Ready for the Long Haul

The Rhino-Rack Pioneer 5 Platform with Backbone is a practical choice for LandCruiser 79 Series owners looking to expand their vehicle's carrying capacity.

Strong, versatile and ready to be configured with a wide range of accessories, the Pioneer 5 provides the foundation for a touring setup that can grow with your adventures.
