Hi Andrew

What I mean is what you refer to as the runners is what caused problems for me. You should get something stronger, and put the LR parts away till you sell the vehicle. The LR rails/runners are attached to the vehicle with 3 bolts each side, and the only contact they have with the vehicle is the 3 small points of fixture.
Front Runner fitted their own rails/runners using their own spacers to spread the load over at least 10x the area.
I also have an LR expedition rack wasting away in my garage...


What you have described is what I was trying to say. Do away with the L R Kit and get or make new better fixings and like you say with more of them. Wink

Over here it cost less than 1/3 of the LR rack, so hopefully you shouldn't get ripped off

Andrew if you have the PTI shark fin don't forget to factor that in the fit.....brownchurch make a nice rack that fits onto roof rails

http://www.brownchurch.co.uk/91racksystem.html

but when I enquired about fitment with the fin in place ..they said they weren't aware LR did one Confused ...turns out the rack would have to be cut Crying or Very sad 21 year LR veteran > D2 GS 2003 > D3 S 2006 > D3 HSE 2009 > D4 HSE 2013 > D4 HSE 2015 > D5 HSE 2018 > DS HSE R-Dynamic P300e 2021

That's a nice shot, Simon.
I assume that's the FR rack. Whose car is it on? Time flies like an arrow; fruit flies like a banana
