    Expedition roof rack

    I just purchased a expedition roof rack from gumtree for $250 .......RESULT!!!
    Firstly I was just wondering if anyone has fitted one themselves and secondly I have the spongy type rubber strips on the roof ,do I just remove them and install.
    Any instructions on this would be greatly appreciatedImageUploadedByTapatalk1350777953.767302.jpgImageUploadedByTapatalk1350777969.209805.jpgImageUploadedByTapatalk1350777983.757921.jpg

    That's a good buy, well done.

    I might be wrong, but I think you will still need to buy and install the LR roof rails before you can fit that though. That's gonna be another few hundred bucks

    DoctorJ posted some nice instructions here for fitting them yourself with pictures, from memory I think he also posted the cost of them.

    The roof rails are a seperate part!
    They are not part of the expedition roof rack, so dont be suprised if he does not send them to you.

    Put the following into google:

    discovery 4 "full length roof rail" kit site:ebay.co.uk

    You'll be able see to pics and get an idea on price. Not sure what it would cost to get them fitted - there are some youtube vids that show how to do it yourself if you are up to it.
    Cheers,

    You don't need the full length one's as the kit was made for them to be fitted to short versions. There are brackets that bolt to the front lower section.
    BUT..
    They can be made to fit the full length ones if you require. Eg you remove rack & want to use the full length rails for carry a long kayak or something like that.

    Cheers

    Fitting Instructions are on the TOPIx site here:

    Sounds like a great buy, hopefully you will not be up for too much money to fit it.
