Which roof rack? (for a Disco II) - Land Rovers Only

stolenheron · 11-19-2007, 08:23 PM

I've got a 2004 Disco II SE7 as many of you know. I'm planning on purchasing a full roof rack for my rover in the next few weeks for myself for Christmas. I really like the old safety devices high rise racks, but they are hard to find. So I've been looking at the Hannibal and Brownchurch racks.

I'd like to hear the pros and cons of both rack companies. Anyone know where I can get either one at a good price? does anyone have one for sale used?

Hannibal is the way to go!!!! They seem to be a much stronger rack... and more built for use....

The brownchurches Ihave seen worked alright most of the time, but any from outside of CO i have seen were rusted away!!!

I ordered the Hannibal rack today from Atlantic British.

They should have it delivered to my house back in Florida by the end of the week (frickin speedy). Sadly, I won't be able to even see or install the rack for about 3 weeks. Seeing as the final exam schedule here at Auburn University (in AL) will not allow me to go home for my new toys until December 14th. I really wanted a safety devices rack, but since it would take too long to order a new one whenever the start up again, i went with the hannibal. Honestly, the more simplistic design of the hannibal seems to be an easier thing to use.

anyone have a used D2 ladder for sale? i need one.

so i started to piece together my hannibal roof rack today. I easily bolted on the top railing. however with the actually mounting brackets and the crossmembers i am having difficulty. The bolts I were given seem pretty short, i don't want to over torque them either....ideas? also, does anyone who has a disco 2 know the width from rain gutter to rain gutter???? it would make installing this thing much easier rather than doing repeated test fits with this 200lb piece of metal....
