Thought I would kick this one off. Small Legged Rhino with spacers - HD. 1800 basket. I have got used to the rumble after 2 days but I will drive it now without the basket and see how it goes too. I included a pic I took of a Daintree River snake by accident and left it in when I added other rack picks....I think it goes well with the rack and may consider putting one on the rack, but alas they grow to 20 foot long and 10 inches thick so it might put some people off at the drive thru'.
Cheers
Hi,
have bought some HD 210mm legs and bars off ebay for my D2.Did not like the 280mm high bars as to high in my opinion and want to still be able to fit in the garage, will put a basket on when need be.
I wanted to ask, how many 10mm spacers from Rhino Rack will I need per leg?
Cheers, Col.
one per leg but only with the alloy aero bars (the silver ones) - with the HD square profile steel bars (black) you will need 2 I reckon (cause the converter fitting to allow the aero bars to be fitted to the HD legs gives you another 8mm or so in height anyway)
Cheers
I used 2 spacers on mine & you will need to profile the rear legs to suit the shape of the roof.Quote:

As said above get out your grinder to dress up the HD legs to a nice close fit around raised part of roof. Front one (if you do 3) is fine as is.
Cheers
Rhino HD bars, as you can see front is on the rails, rear (210 legs with spacers) is on the gutter - they are the same height from the gutter. The front is significantly more stable when full loaded (100kg+ building materials)
interesting work Harlie, are the cross bars the same width from end to end?
Hey slunnie i'm keen on doing the same as your setup, just wondering how you went about getting the legs for the roof rack?Quote:

If your interested let me know as the chap is in Sydney and I've told him that if he does it right then there a whole market of Disco 2 owners that would love to get their hands on one
Beats paying import fees of $1,000 plus the rack!!
I'd be interested in a price pls.Quote:
