    Roof rack for a 110

    HI All,

    So i'm thinking of getting a roof rack for my 110 and was wondering what others have, are you happy with it, anything to avoid etc?

    Just now we have a couple of roof bars from Rhino for our D90. Was thinking of just "relocating" those but they're a bit limited so started to look at racks instead.

    Any advise most welcomed!

    Cheers
    Shaun

    Flat and low profile...I had a Wind Cheetah and thought it was excellent value for money.........

    I'm not a fan of rails on top of the rack......means you have to lift things 4" higher and makes you too high for some car parks.

    I fitted a Rhino Pioneer platform to my L322 today. They are low profile.

    I fitted a K9 rack to a customer's Defender recently, it is low profile and appeared to be solidly built, and lots of accessories available.

    We have the full-length (on a 110) Wind-Cheetah (or Frontrunner) rack. Ours has rails around the front third, which I really like. You can pack stuff up there towards the front, and have the rail to help keep it in place. The rear two thirds are open, which is plenty of room to load stuff on.

    I recently fixed a 2400 x 1200 sheet of 3mm chequerplate aluminium to the rack, now it's an excellent platform for putting things on, and very easy to walk around on. Have used it to put the camping chairs on as a nice high viewing deck. Also works very well as a tropical roof.

    Patriot and Hannibal are the top 2 leaders in Defender roof racks. Patriot are modular construction, So no welds cracking, recently copied by Frontrunner, but far superior in build and material quality, i.e. Aircraft grade aluminium and rack to chassis ladder so no drilling of the body work. Suppose it depends on how much you want to spend and what you are utilising it for.

    I second Rijidij and the K9. Had mine on for a few months now. Full length (2.8m) Strong (welded not modular), light (45kgs i think), 6 pairs of legs. Cant beat it imo.

    For a couple of reasons I'm thinking about getting a 90 length roof rack for the 110.

    - Because I don't ever want to overload the roof
    - Thinking about a solar panel on the angled front roof section at some point

    My experience is with the Rhino Pioneer Platform. Couldn't fault it, relatively light too.

    Had it on the 110 for 43,000km last year, all around Aus including a fair bit of corrugations, never gave a problem. Easy to mount an awning along the side.
