Thread: Roof racks

Rhino Rack.

The Defender Rhino Racks legs will fit with a big of trimming of the legs inner radius. That are 210mm high compared to 300mm that Rhino Rack spec for the D2.

You will also need to add an approximately 10mm spacer between the cross rail and leg to clear the roof. I used some aluminium plate.

Yep that's what I did. Works very well. I used aero Rhino bars. Tried tradie bars first up but had a fair bit of wind noise on mine. Cheers

Awesome . The lower profile looks so much better than the high legs.

I agree and considered going that way myself but the downside is that the underside of the bars are quite close to the roof and it makes it an awkward exercise if you to use ropes to secure your load. Consider including some spacers in your total purchase with which to raise the bars if you go the low profile route.

Hi, I've used the Front Runner racks for both my D3 and D2, and very happy with their performance. Just got back from an 8,000 km trip to the tip of Cape York in the D2, and the rack was bullet proof. Maybe a bit expensive, but so is a LR service!
