3/4 RACK WITH MOUNTS 1.8

I was told they are getting the extended hieght attachment brackets to fit a discovery for the aluminium racks some time soon. Considerably lighter rack so Iam waiting for that.

Yea aluminium racks the go but heading to Cape in a few weeks time couldnt wait any longer

So you'd go alloy for weight over strength? Also does a longer fit? Was thinking of getting a 2.2m in alloy vs only a 1.8 in steel. Making so,e sprt of low profile box to fit under the forward section where the roof drops.

I dropped into the shop today for a look at the 3/4 rack. The aluminium one looks good and is very light weight but he say it's not strong enough to stand in. I would be wrorried about hitting a tree with it as well. It still seems a well made rack for the price and ok for swags and camping equip. I would not be throwing a spare wheel on it though.

He tells me the steel one are bullet proof and would take a lot more abuse.

I'm thinking the steel one might be better in the long run as more versatile even though it heavier.

Possibly, being aluminium, if you where to hit a tree it would bend before your roof does. :)

Can't quite see in the pic but what is the gap between the rack and factory rail? Looks like its sitting on it.

The pic was taken with me standing on top
Had a good look just now with no weight on and the is aprox 3-5 mm gap
When on top did not feel and deflection of the rack

I forgot to say he also has the high brackets in stock

So after a little wait (3 months) i finally have my alloy 3/4 rack. Its light enough to lift it on myself, though i did scratch the gutters a little. Id use a second person next time but because no one was available i just did it by myself.

The high mounts cleared the roof rails with ease.

Quality is pretty good, a fair bit of weld splatter about with sharp points thst need attention but i couldn't be happier based on what i paid for it.
