    They still sell the old style model which to me says LR don't care, and it retails for the same price as the new model. It's just a different style rack not necesarilly an older model.

    As the others have said the Patriot is probably the best then go down from there.

    They sent me an extract from their catalogue with part no VPLDR0064 and drawing attached. This looks the same as the one in their brochure. Is that the old one or a more recent? I know they have a different one which is made here in Melbourne but looks very agricultural.ImageUploadedByTapatalk1396041758.430302.jpgImageUploadedByTapatalk1396041777.243703.jpg

    Do I assume then that this is a new version of the rack?

    I would say so yes, as its the only one that comes up on our parts system.

    Are they offering discounts on these yet?

    They look like tough as nails, impressive indeed.
    No sure though about the massive gap at the front between roof and rack.
    You have asked a question about discounts on the LR rack, I suspect I can get discount from this dealer, as I have an established relationship. Now that's what I think but when it comes down to business it maybe a different story.

    The frontrunnr racks are very good. but once you add the wind deflector that you need as the rack bed runs east to west, the ladder and shipping to your dealer, its more or less the same as a Hannibal in price.

    Hannibal is made of a thicker box section also.

    Patriot is Aircraft grade aluminium the other 2 just standard grade.

    What type of rear ladder are you guys using?
    I have been given a full length steel roof rack that will be mounted on five Rhino racks, I also have a full length alloy rear ladder.
    Technically the ladder should not obscure the number plate...but I don't have any other way to fit it.
