Hi everyone,
Before getting into it, I'm new to Aulro so hi!
I have a MY13 110 and I'm wanting to add an expedition roof rack that is both compatible with a roof top tent, and still allows the sun roof to open most of the way.
The current thinking is something like a 2200X1350 with partial side bars and a gap for the sun roof.
After much hunting around, research and asking people I've found solutions for either, but not both. An example being the ARB Touring Rack, except for the fact that it's 1250 wide and therefor not compatible with defenders.
Any tips, suggestions, warnings, etc. for where I might find what I'm after?
I also see that some people putting these tents on use a roll bar / roof rack setup instead of the gutter clamps to affix their roof rack. Any words of wisdom about the gutters bearing 2 people plus equipment?
Thanks in advance.

You could fit a 2m 90 rack, that would allow you to still open your sunroof, but it would limit the amount of gear you could carry.
You could also fit a 2.8m Patriot rack, we supply these with a cut out for the sunroof.
I have not had any problems with the gutters carrying a 65kg tent with 2 people sleeping in it.
A cheaper alternative would be HD roof bars, but that is restricting your ability to fit a Awning if you want one.
Hey, thanks so much for getting back to me.
Awesome collection of parts on your ebay store.
So, would a 2.8 or 3 meter patriot rack with accommodation for a sunroof and the optional luggage rail be the way to go? Can you get a luggage rail that's full width and partial length on both sides?
This image gives a sense of what I'm looking for:
Cheers.
...also, a small & hopefully helpful piece of feedback for your website: Any light boxes that appear towards the top of your pages (to show larger versions of the images on your site) are obscured by the top navigation. Should be a quick & easy fix for whoever looks after your website

It could be the way to go.
2.8 would be the longest you could have, you can have any combination of luggage rail you like with a Patriot rack, but you could also cut down the Hannibal one to suit.
I am looking into the website glitch ( still working out how to fix it )
