Why we fabricate every rack and canopy in-house

Most 4x4 accessories sold in the region are designed overseas, shipped in containers and bolted on as an afterthought. They are built to fit a catalogue page, not to survive years of corrugated gravel roads, mining tracks and wet-season mud.

At Simbi 4x4 we took a different route from day one: every roof rack, canopy, service body and jerry can holder is fabricated in our own workshop in Harare. That means we control the material, the welds and the fit — and we stand behind the result.

Built for the vehicle, not the shelf

Because we fabricate to order, each rack is matched to the vehicle it will live on. A Land Cruiser 79 working on a mine has different needs to a Fortuner doing school runs and weekend trips — and the rack should reflect that.

If your vehicle is not in our standard fitment list, we measure and build to suit. That is the advantage of a workshop over a warehouse.

Repairs and changes are simple

When something is fabricated locally, it can also be repaired, modified or upgraded locally. Bend a rail on a farm track? Bring it back and we fix it. Need an extra mount for a rooftop tent later? We add it.

That ongoing relationship is something an imported box on a shelf can never offer.
