    Chris, forget the Disco roof rack. Disco owners are well served by others.

    However, no one makes a good rack for the P38A. I had custom made Tradesman rack on mine but it was too small so I sold it to PaulP38A.

    The monstrosity I currently have on mine is rack clamped onto Thule roof bars. It sits a mile high and is as ugly as sin.

    We need a low profile rack, maybe like the Safety Devices rack. SD no longer make any racks for Rangies.

    Maybe a group buy so you can make a batch of them?

    G'day Chris,
    I've had my website for a few years now rijidijoffroad.com.au, its a DIY website which I managed to build with average computer skills. Basically it costs about $300 per year for access to the online software, and that's it, you have complete control of it.
    There's lots of free websites out there, as well as professionally built sites for $$$$, but like you, I just require a few simple pages and after checking out a few I found the 'bounce' software easy to use.
    Others might have more suggestions, but so far my site has never crashed or been unavailable for anything more than routine maintenance, so I have no complaints.

    The only problem, as I'm sure you will agree, is finding the time to dedicate to yet ' another thing to do'.
    Cheers, Murray

    If it was just time, I could help with a website. I have never built a website before but have no issues with learning and I have heard that it can be quite simple when using the software a supplied.

    So if its only time that is inhibiting you then I'm all ears because its the sort of thing I could do of an evening while going the forum and other pages I keep an eye on. I just wouldn't be expecting anything too high as like I said I haven't done it before

    Chris, I bought and used Website X5 V10 Evolution to build these two websites:

    Henry Lawson Camera Club

    and

    Import Auto Supply (the site owner now has the responsibility of maintaining it).

    I'm the webmaster for the camera club. The domain name registration and site hosting fees at WebCity are really quite reasonable.

    2 year domain name registration and 3 year site hosting - total $164.70

    One day I'll redo my own site!

    I'm happy to write a website for you and help you setup the domain name and hosting... Perhaps we can do a deal as I'm after some rock sliders for my D4

    Did this idea ever come to fruition?
    It's not broken. It's "Carbon Neutral".

    I'll keep an eye on this thread and your site. As i want to get a new canopy made up for my car once i have the cash. Also the light bar mount you have looks great.

    As my GF is originally from up your way. I plan on making a road trip up there in a few months to check it out again. So i'll give you a buzz and drop in to chat about some ideas

    Disco roof racks?

    Hi,
    I just came across this thread and was wondering if you ended up making a roof rack for the discovery?
    I have been looking around and would like to find one more suitable to the disco than just a generic eBay one..
    Thanks Troy.
