With some stuffing around I’ve managed to get the Outback Accessories long range fuel tank fitted, so I had to get a rear wheel carrier which is the OA version which I opted for so it wouldn’t obscure my after market reversing camera. I’ve had the front runner ladder installed so I can access the tray easily which I leave on the roof. I’m loving it so far.
Retro fitted my cupboard system from the D2, ready for road trip to Victoria, all bitumen but still a trip in the D3

My new to me '16 LR4 which replaced my previous '05 LR3 which I greatly appreciated for more than 13 years. Hoping this new one will give me the same level of service I experienced with its predecessor which was basically trouble-free. Having just acquired this one, I'm still in the process of outfitting it for my intended use which will center upon daily driving and periodic light to moderate over-landing as well as some seasonal (summer) trips out West to Moab and the Canyonlands of S. Utah. At present, contemplating the installation of either an ARB color matched Summit bar bumper or Prospeed UK's new Hidden Winch and Light Bar assembly which is expected to be released for sale later this month.
Outfitting thus far includes upsizing the types to Nitto G2s 265/50/20's, a Gap iiD BT to permit additional on the go height adjustments, a Prospeed UK Essentials Roof Rack, Ladder and Flooring, Prospeed Rock & Tree Sliders (with ABS step inserts and optional skid plates not shown in the photos below), FrontRunner RDBL007 Swing Away Spare Tire Carrier (not impressed with, compared to my previous ownership and use of the Rasta 4X4 version), Front LR Sump Protection plate, a few LR optional trim pieces, CoCo mats, Over the Top Pet cover for rear seats, and have the LR PIAA Halogen Spot/Driving lamps wired in, just waiting to finalize my decision to go with either a color-matched ARB Summit Bull Bar Bumper or Prospeed UK's new Hidden Winch Mount and Lamp Bar which they plan to release to the market later this month. Already have a new Warn Zeon 12-S Platinum winch on hand to install. Will also be adding some additional undercarriage protection plates along with 2nd setup of 18-19" off road wheels and KO2's tires for the summer month overland trips out West.
Photo below taken of the LR4 at access height (sorry'o), looks much better at normal ride height or above IMO.

Love the look of your D4 and the roofrack! Any idea what is the lowest clearance with the racks on?
Also can you point me to Don/the previous group-buy thread please?
Thanks!
Those Prospeed racks are a very cool bit of kit.

Not sure if Don still has any:

Good to see that they still badge the bonnet "Land Rover" over there. The later D4's (and the new D5's) here now have the word "DISCOVERY" across the bonnet - I've heard people ask whether the Discovery is a new model of the Land Cruiser / Prado.

SubscriberI’ve recently fitted one of the group buys to my D4.
Height at normal on road: 192cm
Access height drops this to 184cm
They are expensive, look the business, and need some different brackets to the easy found Rhino range....but I’m very happy so far. Very quiet and looks great.
