    Here is my Rhino Pioneer roof. I have left rings on the top, but removed the tyre and the jerry can holder. Mine is the shorter length and hardly makes wind noise.

    The side view it looks the same as the narrower version, note the low feet:



    Close up to show height, note the ring which I should have removed (takes 20 seconds with a lever through the ring to loosen it,
    it then slides to a gap in the roof material and it pops out)
    the ring shown was one of three to strap the tyre down with, the third strap had ratchet lever to tighten the three straps hence locking the wheel/tyre down:



    Three quarter from behind the roof still does not look that wide:



    This looks less good I guess for those that like the narrower look:

    Just finished fitting a Dolium K9 Rak.Would have liked it a bit lower and it would be possible, by cutting the fittings down.Guess they have set it that high, for those that wish to polish the roof!Easy to fit,after wasting time trying to remove the 'christmas tree' type plugs[just cut them off and then clean out the threads with a 6mm tap]Bit of a whistle above 80kmh so will try adjusting the wind
    deflector.

    Yep,it will do the job.Hope to fit a solar panel up the front,spare wheel on the rear and an awning on passenger side[for the awning tent,a left over from the Defender days]I have only driven up the road with the rack on, but think the whistle is from the deflector directing air across the front mount......its not too bad ,but a bit of adjustment should fix it.

    Short feet attachments - pioneer platform

    Melbourne_Park. We are planning on using our pioneer platform tack from previous vehicle. Are the short feet a standard attachment ? Pick up our disco next week. Your set up looks good
