    I don't know about utilisation of the LR Rails as I have the Rhino Rails. The Rhino rails are virtually invisible. I use them with Rhino RST racks which sit nice and low and don't protrude out the sides. If you click on the icons on the right of the RhinoRack site, it shows you my car with the different racks on it. I detach the racks when not in use (I have a low garage).

    When speaking to the guys at Roof Rack World, and asking about interchangability with my friend's D3 with factory rails, they were very confident they could do it without much fuss - just need to change some base plate at most, but needed to see the D3 side by side, which we didn't have at the time.

    Eddo,

    Do you have the RST's or the shortened legs for the Tourmaster tray or both?

    I want the RST racks for general stuff but really like the idea of being able to mount the Tourmaster tray to the RST's or would I have to buy two sets of legs?

    Okay, having just browsed a bit further into the Rhino site, there are other baskets, none as good as the Tourmaster looks though...

    We only have half-arsed Rhino stockists here who have no real idea. I will have to go into Perth I think and see a specialist.

    Agro,
    It's been near 6 weeks since I spoke to Blackwidow & ordered the rack, so I am a bit hazy. I vaguely recall being told that they could also fit to LR rails.
    Suggest it is best to email or call Blackwidow direct to confirm.
    Cheers.

    I actually only have the RST's. My car was used as the car model for the day and they fit all the accessories to it and take photos. I only got to keep one set of rails & racks at 80% off RRP (yes, I only paid $90 for the lot ).

    I was there when they had the tourmaster rack on it, and they had shortened legs for the tray, no rack on the car at all.

    Going great guns Neil, thanks.

    Off to Shark Bay on Sunday, although without roof racks yet, just to keep things on track.

    I note that at BCF here in Rockingham they are flogging another brand of roof rack, the Prorack range, which are significantly cheaper than Rhino. They will sell me 2 racks and fittings for $350 odd versus the $480 + going off Rhino website prices.

    I will have a good look when I get back in a week or so...

    I put prorack Whispbars on my D4 and have a fitted a bike carrier, but also have pod and cage when needed. Great bars and not any wind noise.

    Cheers Brad, thats exactly the info I was after.

    What do the Prorack bars mount to, straight to the roof or do they need the LR tracks? I bought Admiral's old Rhino tracks and was going to start building the Rhino collection but I don't want to pay Rhino prices.

    ps. Don't be offended if I don't answer you, I'm off to Shark Bay tomorrow and may not be able to access the 'net.

    HD vs Aero bars??

    A thread from the dead, but a question back to the original intent of the thread before it got sidetracked....

    I have rhino Heavy Duty cross bars on my D4 but find them very noisy (wind roar at highway speeds). Has anyone done a direct comparison of HD bars vs Aero bars for wind noise?

    I'll keep the HD bars for trips when I put a basket etc up top, but was looking at the Aero bars for around town when I only carry a kayak up there.

    EDIT, to clarify I probably mean the Rhino VORTEX cross bars vs Rhino HD cross bars.

    Cheers,
    Chris
