Suggested Roof-Rack...?

I have the factory supplied crossbars (with the short roof rails) - part No VPLAR0001. I also have the LR Luggage rack which has been useful up to now but I have just discovered a problem with this rack. My intention is to carry my 2nd spare on the roof - I am running Coopers AT3s - but the tyre is too wide to fit this rack. I am interested therefore in a new rack & have had previously good experience with Rhino Rack and am looking at their alloy racks with interest. Does anyone have experience with compatibility of after-market racks being mounted onto the factory roof bars? I am loathed to have to buy a new set of roof-bars unless I have to. I'd be open to suggestions of alternative rack suppliers if there is experience out there.

Thanks in advance... Discovery 3 SE 2009

Talk to Rhino I'm running a Rhino rack with after market rails which works well see my photos. I would think Rhino would supply the correct mounts for the factory supplied rails.

Hi d_p,
I have, and am very happy with the Front-Runner WindCheetah roof rack. It was supplied and fitted by Opposite Lock, but is imported by Dolium. See here:

Best Wishes,
Peter
PS: At the recommendation of the Sth Africa guys, I fitted the LR ladder. The Bearded Dragon
