Here is the rack on my 95 classic LWB.
It was OEM from an Aussie company, called ROLA, when they came out - optional extra of course!!! I have ties back in Aussie that ship me anythiing I need for it. It is gutter mounted and very low profile:

I have mounted a rear Hella light to it for reversing and the antennae mount for my Cobra CB is also mounted to it. The basket rack on it is awesome, very strong and I put the Yakima wind deflector on also.

Other things I have that I can mount:
Kayak holders x2
Ski Rack x4
Extra Lights - not yet mounted x4

Cheers!~

My 92 Classic has the factory german-made expedition roof-rack on it and this is an awesome rack. It can hold 400 lbs (not recommended to drive with this weight though, but we have stood two people up in it. Looks good, low profile, low noise, super-duty, and no sunroof interference. See a picture of the rack at: http://www.rangerovers.net/outfittin...s/classic.html

This was a factory option but it was rare, good luck finding one.

Sorry no pics. But, The Grumman Canoe Co. Marathon NY makes a conoe rack made of aluminum that fits nicely on my 92 Rover Classic. It works great for a couple of kayaks, conoes, plywood, 2X4s,etc. The racks fit close to the roof,don't stick out too much on the side and handle a good bit of weight. You must experiment to find a spot on the roof to diminish wind noise at high speed, but they can be very quiet. Also the sunroof still mantains its special purpose.(Steve Martin)

Do you mean the purpose of having a ring mounted machine gun right?
Or is that just my Rover?

Some photo editing may or may not have occurred with this picture.

Hey Okie, If you think you need that in Downtown Norman, Then I need a Vulcan Mini out here.

vince80 · 03-09-2005, 01:37 AM

thule is all you need, holds snowboard mounts, bike mounts and much more.

hamrendan · 03-09-2005, 12:58 PM

Hey this thing was custom fabricated to fit this LWB. Its a full length rack with a hole for the sunroof. If you are wheeling and need something from the top you just open the sunroof and get it... I has 6 lights 4 front and 2 back. Its for sale includes lights.. Taking offers $$$

I used bed liner and spray paint to keep the paint from chipping or wearing..

message me if you are interested..

vince80 · 03-09-2005, 09:07 PM

Dang thats UGLY!!

troverman · 03-10-2005, 09:16 AM

That rack is for a Disco--not a Range Rover classic. Putting a load on that thing would make a truck unstable on a sideslope.

ronrover · 03-10-2005, 01:09 PM

i've seen thule and yaks, what I'm looking for is a full length basket type
