roof rack issues - Land Rovers Only

kuwait110 · 08-01-2005, 01:51 PM

hey up,im hoping someone out there can help me...living in kuwait has its benefits but it also has its fair share of disadvantages. for example, yesterday i went to my local friendly land rover dealers(only place i can get good parts) in search of a roof rack. the price for a standard land rover galvonised roof rack and ladder was........wait for it 480kd or 1,643 USD or 930 GBP...so ive decided im going to fabricate one, and heres where i need the help. ive no problems making it myself, i've got all the tools that i need. what i'm looking for is a short cut. does anyone know where i can get quickly and easily all the dimensions/measurements needed for a 110 roofrack and ladder. that way i dont have to fook around measuring in 50 degree heat...........would apprciate help with this one

You could get an alloy rack and ladder. Front Runner in South Africa make one for about ZAR 4700 / USD 720 (ex factory). This may be viable, depending on shipping costs. Check out Front Runner. Click on Vehicle Specific Poducts > Landrover > Defender 110

In my opinion, these racks utilise superior materials and design than the original galvanised one from LR. And they're proven in real African safari and other off-road conditions.
