Here's a new idea of mine for a stable low profile roof mounted work platform (aka roof rack).
It doesn't put any stress on the gutters and thereby induce further internal leaks. It keeps wind resistance to a minimum (which is all important for an aerodynamic sports machine like a Land Rover :wink: ). It also acts as a second skin (like a Safari Roof) for insulation. If you attach a 1" section of 5mm diameter pipe upright in each corner you can also fit flexible fibreglass tent poles and stitch up a tarp to create a roof top tent.
In case my effort to attach the image fails, you'll find photos on p2 of the Michael2 album in the members gallery.
