    That is exactly what I am thinking. I carry a long and wide double kayak at times and a front aero bar was my thought also. I actually bought mine second hand with LR roof racks fitted. Might be abut taller than the rack but not an issue.

    Awning (12), spare (30), maxtrax (7), shovel (3), swag (20), plus rack (20) is 92kg. Only need swag when unable to take teardrop. So as you say not much.

    Thank you for the photo.

    All the best

    The size is a good match for the roof:



    I went narrower as I didn't want the overhang on the sides. To me this looks a lot neater but does comprise storage space a bit as you lose one slat. It doesn't bother me as I don't put a lot up there. It will fit a tyre, a jerry can and some Maxtrax, with some space for firewood. I also have an awning and shovel up there.

    Wind noise is very subjective. There is some, but not as much as I seem to get from the RAI. I notice it because the Disco is so quiet, but it doesn't bother me.

    There are more photos of it with various loads in my gallery.

    Hi Jon.

    You would t have any part number or any further information in regard to the RLTP legs and whether I need a kit to fit the Pioneer platform!?

    Cheers

    Hi Christian,

    It was a long time ago that I did this and I no longer have the Disco, but if I remember correctly all I bought was the platform and 4 legs - I already had the std roof rails. I think you get all the wedges and screws that you need with the legs. I replaced the button head screws with hex heads as they are made of cheese and the hex heads make them easier to fit.

    Cheers,
    Jon

    Looks good. Wondering - did you use wedges under the legs to 'correct' the angle ?

    Deleted the wedges as struggled with bolt length. Will change the brass six sided nuts to square nuts for better purchase in the tracks
