Thread: Ultimate Roof Racks.

Welcome to the pack! Congrats to your purchase as well. Land Rovering is not as much owning a vehicle as it is a complete life style. You will see...

As for your query regarding the roof racks, there is an abundance of these commercially available already (as you may have figured out). What you want or need determines the design of course. My 2c here are that I recommend building a rack that sits on the rain gutter the whole length of the rack (like e.g. Patriot racks) and is not only supported and secured by individual feet, thus spreading the load over a wider area.

Good on ya' and good luck with your project!

Hey Jojo,

Thanks for you input mate..

I am setting the rangie up for a bit more serious 4wding and camping. I like the idea of having the mounts go the full length of the gutter, originally I was only putting 4 mounts per side but I think I will change it to the full length mounts. this will be slightly more fabrication due to the natural bow in the roof, but I think it will be well worth it.

So far I will be mounting the following onto the rack,
A shovel
Jerry can holders (removable)
Awning
spotlights
Side ladder

If you think of anything else that would be handy on the racks let me know.

G'day mate, welcome to Aulro. If I see you around I willl be sure to wave .
Check out Hannibal they seem to make nice racks.
