Thread: Rhino Backbone

Thank you for the additional pictures

I think I've decided I'm going to go with the 2128mm x 1236mm backbone system.

I'm really surprised by the low offical weight limits especially when you see the factory expedition fit outs LR have done.....

75kg is less than the Pajero's 100kg ....

We had some great trips in it and it was such a brilliant vehicle that of course its hard not to miss it to some degree. I am having so much more fun with the Defender though I haven't regretted the decision at all.

Cheers,

Hi Steve, great photos of the backbone mounts. I was wondering if you had any photos of the plastic drilled out bigger??
As I've just bought the same and don't want to remove the plastic either.
Many thanks Michael.

Hi Mate, Just came across this comment, I'll get some photos later today If I can and let you have a look.

I had the Rhino Aero bars - just used the same legs and attached the small pioneer tradie - not sure the backbone would go lower

Hi Gub

Replaced them with the Rhino ones to suit when i first put the bars on - was not that dear compared to what LR were offering

Can somebody with a Rhino Backbone take some measurements for me please.
I'm wondering if I can mount a Land Rover Expedition rack to them.
The Expedition rack is wider at the front than the rear.1200mm front and 1130mm rear(its current used bolt holes).
Was wanting to know the same measurements on the Backbone.ie width of backbone at roof rack mount front and rear.
I'm thinking if the expedition rack is too noisy,or not suitable I can simply put a platform on later.
Thanks
Andrew
