A few days ago I had the roof rails and crossbars from Rhino Rack installed. The whole job, incl installation, was $528.00 or more than half the price I got quoted from LR. I think the roof-rails look better on the car than LR's original ones.[/img]

here are some pictures;


Had it installed by a local 4wd shop, Formula Offroad in St.Marys NSW. But any authorised Rhino Rack dealer can help you.

Nathan,

I do like the Hannibal rack, it is smart and it suits the Disco perfectly.
Do you have the supplier's web address.

Rak40, are the bars and rails from Rhino, or just the bars?

Jamo, Do you have a Rooftop tent on your Rackmaster ? If you do how do you find it on corrugations etc ?

Yes, i do Alan. I've got an ARB Simpson (it's basically a re-badged Howling Moon Tourer). It's been on there for about six months now and I do about 200km-400km of gravel a week.

No problems at all! Nothing coming loose! And no dust gets inside. I think there's some pics in my gallery.

I have it opening to the rear and also have an annex that I can zip on. I'll see if I can put on some more pics.
 Have a nice day!

Thanks, Jamo. I was thinking of something similar thru Opposite Lock.

I see you have a dual wheel carrier. Are the swing bars detatchable when not in use ?

Yes, they say it's a five minute job, but it's really about ten!

I got my rack at Opposite Lock. I've also got a gas bottle holder, shovel holder and spare wheel holder. Great stuff!

Anyone know where I can get these from in the UK. I like the Hannibal and Frontrunner options.

Thanks

Nice job, Andrew - are the bolts along the sides for the uprights on the rail?

Worringlyexcited - the Front Runner rack is available from Frogs' Island (?frog's island). If you're near Yeovil, you're welcome to pop over and see the one on mine.
