Hi all

Can anyone recommend a roof rack for a Disco 1.  The proper LR one
seems to be only half length.  I'm looking for full length, preferably
with lighting mounts on the front and a bit profiled so it doesn't look
like I've caught a length of park railings on my travels.  Also a
ladder for the back door.

Cheers

Dave

Cheers, looks just the job.  also looks costly!  do I see a floor in
there as well?  one of the projected uses is as a work platform for
local woodland, also pimms and stuff in a deckchair up there at local
events.  Do they do a ladder as well?

Thnk you

The ladder is a standard LandRover ladder, about £50 I think.
We have covered the floor in marine ply in three sections and varnished. Its
been on a few years now and is lasting very well and is strong. The rack is
quite expensive. Its got mountings at the front for four lights and one at
the back.

The safety devices is very good and very cool looking but i would look at
the Patriot roof rack as well, very practical as you as have it mounted in
different stages of build from just roof bars to full rack with sides! Brown
church are very strong and cheap but also heavy and a tad  too rugged
looking for me.
Others to look at are front runner and hannabal.

I use rhino bars for my needs

end stops to carry various loads.
