Who makes this roof rack ?

[discotwinturbo]

Looks as though this may be land rover but I can't find it on their website. I can only fine one with sides and wind deflector.
The cheetah one is more square (and not quite is low to the roof from what I have seen in pics), and the rhino one (my preferred) is only 1.5m long.
Does anyone have a low profile like this that runs virtually the full length ?
New discovery arrives next monday after a 5 month wait. Booked in for OL bar and Safari snorkel next Friday. RWC and tank booked in for mid December.
Thanks
Brett

I think I just saw one as low as the photo. It had sides on it taking it a little higher. It was on a D4 on Doncaster Road Doncaster in (Vic). Nice looking roof rack! Have you asked a dealer? The car I saw looked mickey mouse so might have been a factory fit? It is a lot lower than mine. One thing you might like to consider if you go for one as low is getting it off.

Mine is as high as this picture It is not to bad to get on and off but my hands struckle a little on the bolts especially at the rear few. Not sure how the one your considering attaches but if you like to remove it as I do then it might be worth looking at closely. Your photo looks like a great unit.

Thats the genuine (no longer available) LR Expedition Rack with the sides, wind deflector and cross bar at the rear removed (by drilling out the rivets). I did same thing with mine on my old D3 - and the new owner wanted it so I let it go with the car (see my gallery) - thinking I'd just get a new one.....then found out they dont make them any more. They appear on EBAY every now and then.

Thanks guys.

I have emailed the uk for this one:

http://www.prospeed-offroad.co.uk/ne...roof-rack.html

380 pounds for delivery....just waiting on a price. Not going to be cheap but I have in mind something like this.

I need for it to take a roof topper as well as other gear at the front and this seems to fit the ball with 200kg capacity.....would only go to about half of that though.

Price for the uk one.

Brett,

Price for the rack depends on which one you need, which depends one whether your Discovery has a glass roof or not?

Expedition rack (standard): 562.50 GBP
Expedition rack (glass roof version): 732.50 GBP

Composite floors (only needed with standard rack): 87.50 GBP
Cross bars: 87.50 GBP

To mount the rack you will need the Land Rover short length roof rails which you will probably have on your vehicle.

The price for shipping is by air, unfortunately it is no cheaper by sea, we have looked into this previously.

1100 pounds all up. Pricey but seems almost perfect!

Brett have you had alook on Ebay, there are some rooftop tent racks there,
Rear half flat and raise rail at front, and I think Rola make a flat rack that you can put short sides and front on aswell.

I have a Tradesman Oval Alloy rack I'm just about to put on Ebay. Bought it a couple of months ago for a trip that never happened and it has never been on the vehicle. I bought it second hand through Ebay but it is excellent condition and needs a new home as I'm moving to Peru for work and everything has to go.

Am in Peru right now - looked at Discoveries but no diesel options here as the fuel quality is not up to scratch for high tech diesel engines. You get a Pajero diesel tho' ..... say no more!!. Don't really want to get a V8 Discovery but we'll see.

See the link for details of the rack. It's full length and just the ticket for trips. PM me if interested. I'm back in Oz a couple of weeks.

That looks great. The "capacity of over 200kgs"is interesting. I thought the spec was 75kg ontop? I know you could put more of course.
