Got my roof rack fitted up . It is a 2nd hand Tracklander 1.8m rack, with some custom mounts to sit the rack low onto the factory long rails. The rack is bugger all heavier than a Rhino platform and very solidly made. Makes less noise at highway speeds than the roof bars I had on there previously....

Now to work out what I have to carry up there for the upcoming desert trip. Will be at least a 2nd spare wheel and a 2kg gas bottle or 2, just deciding if the recovery tracks will get a ride and also what extra fuel I need to carry...
I also have fitted some LED lights into the cargo area. I went with 9W "Eagle Eye" LEDs from ebay. 2 are mounted on the inner side of the ceiling trim panel to light the load area, and 2 are mounted in a custom housing to direct down onto the lower tailgate area when the upper tailgate is open. At the moment they are operated separately via a 2 way switch but I may just combine the circuits into one switch yet.
