Similar to Front Runner, but much slimmer (and the LR oem ladder can be used with it - unlike FR).
And with a choice of long rail, short rail or no rail mounting options, makes fitting more versatile.
My preference is the “no rail” option for a lower fitting, at a base price of 992eu.
There will be VAT and 129eu carriage on top of that.
But anyone any idea on what the HM Customs charge for importing will be ….. or how to find out?
I reckon that would whistle like a naturist ladies sky-diving team with those front mounts. I know it's not considered "kind" to say no these days, but no. Just no, ok? And if it's not ok, still no.

Thanks for that Al, but what bits would cause the whistling …. and I don’t mean the ladies naughty bits?
Do you happen to have a picture of the naturist ladies skydiving team …. just so I can check out the whistling.
And is this why Front Runner have a split forward mount?
I see the LRP one does have some form of deflector under the forward crossbar section.
Btw, trust the cider fridge has stood the test of time. ...... always on the road less travelled 🚧

The cider fridge is indeed still going strong - it has a new home in my daughter and her boyfriend's VW camper
Re. whistling, that front leg has a slot cut out to allow a spanner or socket to be used to tighten that (exposed) bolt and some laser cut lettering above it. Now they may have managed to model this to not whistle, but I'd be surprised.
Saying that, anything on the roof is going to make some noise, so it may be trivial in the grand scheme of things.I know it's not considered "kind" to say no these days, but no. Just no, ok? And if it's not ok, still no.

Thanks Al, but not the pic of the naughty whistling bits I expected.
But good point re the front mounting points & etching, I’ll certainly be raising this if I decide to go ahead. ...... always on the road less travelled 🚧

Nothing to do with ladies naughty bits whistling!
Put anything on top of a vehicle roof and there is the possibility of increased wind noise.
The logo in the front bracket is not likely to cause much wind noise as the wind will already be 'separated' by the front edge of the bracket. If you have strong side wind then there maybe a possibility of 'whistling' as the speed of the side wind increases as it hits the side of the bracket
You are more likely to get wind noise from the front of the rack,howver wind deflectors are available.
The cooling fins on the back of LED light bars can cause whistling. Alter the angle or position of the light bar may help. Alternative is to widen the fins on the back of the LED light bar.

Honestly, no whistling.
Obviously, you add something to your roof so you will have some rustle but no whistling.
I don't have direct experience to compare LRP/Out-Rack rack to other but I've 3 customers that replaced their previous rack.
2 come from Front Runner (for ladder problem and weight), 1 from Prospeed (for loading floor space available)
LRP and FR are very similar, just Prospeed is more quiet.
No Rails version is lower so is quietest than "short" or "long" rails versions
Last info, new brackets come with Out-Rack wind rose logo instead LRP, I have to update website pics, sorry.

My uncle imported some parts for his camper van from Poland, a few weeks later he received an import bill from the courier, he enquired and I believe it’s on anything over £135 have a look here-

Also 4x4 overlander we sell LRP stuff I bought a switch plate through them might be worth giving them a shout -

For what it’s worth I run a prospeed rack on my D4 and there’s no noise.
