Roof Rack for FJ Cruiser by JAC Products
PONTIAC, Mich., Feb. 28 /PRNewswire/ -- JAC Products, a leading designer
and manufacturer of original-equipment roof racks for vehicles worldwide, has
worked jointly with the Toyota Motor Sales vehicle team to create a bold roof
rack for the 2007 FJ Cruiser that will be introduced early 2006.
The goal was to create an integrated, highly-functional rack that would
support the legendary rugged image associated with the Toyota FJ series. The
"clean sheet of paper" approach resulted in a roof rack that features a 165
lb. load capacity; a tubular, extruded aluminum design that includes an
integrated basket; and a textured, black powder-coat finish that is striking
in its intentional color contrast to the white roof.
The FJ is positioned to capture the youth market with its straight-forward
styling, authentic off-road performance, and affordable price. The tubular
roof rack supports the FJ Series' historic reputation for outdoor adventure.
Optional bicycle and ski rack accessories from Mont Blanc(R) (a subsidiary of
JAC Products) are also available.
JAC Products' role in the development of the roof rack has continued from
the initial concept, design, prototype, and testing phases, through to the FJ
production launch in 2006. JAC Products has been partnering with Toyota on
roof racks and other accessory projects since 1978.
The multitude of photos and stories proudly chronicled by enthusiasts on-
line underscore the heritage of Toyota's FJ 4X4 Land Cruisers of the '60s and
'70s, harkening back to a day when the functional acrobatics of an off-road
vehicle were all that mattered, and amenities were few.
Founded in 1967, JAC Products Inc. is a leading designer and manufacturer
of original equipment roof racks, supplying vehicles worldwide. Owned by
Citicorp Venture Capital, Ltd., JAC Products manufactures products in the
U.S., Germany, Portugal, Argentina, and the U.K. Additionally, JAC owns and
operates Mont Blanc(R) (Sweden) and Paddy Hopkirk (England), which manufacture
bicycle and ski racks; plus component supplier Franklin Aluminum (Franklin,
Georgia). For more information, visit the company's website at www.jacproducts.com.
