    Thanks Peter. So in the Craig scenario, I score his 3/4 track and rubbers and then fit my surf bars, and Craig gets my system as it stands and bolts the roof rack into the LR original fitted holes/nuts? I'd better double check in any event that I have all the rubber covers up there that the front runner might require.

    Being also newish to D4 from D2, I haven't yet worked out the details of how the roof system works either.

    My initial research suggested that what I want to end up with is in the order of $400, hence my interest in doing a swap-over so that the various bits needed can be directly swapped over between vehicles, but the principle will also work if the other vehicle is a virgin.

    I did have some preliminary discussions with a supplier in Cannington a couple of months ago, and will follow up for more info next week.
    Cheers Gavin
    Roger that, so if we do end up doing something the 3/4 track on mine might be some use for you then, depending what you want. From what I understand from the previous owner is they are Rhino. He didnt selll the bars with the D4, but apparently does want to sell them, not sure if it is what you want, but I know it was bars and a canoe lifter. I have pics of the bars and will put up here. If you want I can put you in contact or work out what he wants for them.

    Craig and Gavin, this is now basically a commercial transaction being discussed between you two rather than a technical thread about roof rack options. Please take it to PM or some other means, otherwise this thread will have to go.

    Fair comment/will do, but I'm still learning from the info provided to date.
    Not all of us are gurus, and on any number of occasions I have learnt from comments on this brilliant site that fall into the grey area, so I for one always appreciate a little leeway.
