Wanted - some guidance on D3 roofracks please
Been considering a roof rack for the D3 for a while.
Needs to be strong and stable enough for me to stand on / use as a camera platform for filming.
Can’t be too tall as I’m often parked at the airport or car parks with height limits.
Suppose I’d need a boot ladder as well to access it?
Like the look of a pro speed set up but no way I’m spending £1k - £1.5k
What options have I got?
Or is anyone selling something suitable?
Many thanks in advance

Prospeed are by far the best around. Keep an eye out on here they do come up for sale occasionally but you have to be quickWhen you are dead, you do not know you are dead. All of the pain is felt by others. The same thing happens when you are stupid.

I have a Frontrunner which sounds ideal for what you need it for. It takes my hefty weight so pretty sure it would cope with most.
If your interested then let me know.

I don’t know to be honest. I can measure it for you if your interested.
I’ve never not been able to get in any car park with the rack fitted. I often lock it in its lowest mode in some car parks although when you get out there’s loads of room still.
