I had the same question while bck. I opted for a full length Front Runner from Frogs Island.
take a look at http://www.disco3.co.uk/forum/topic5726.html?highlight=roofrack. Duncan

The front runner should fit the LR roof rails although the FR rails are easy to retro-fit and are more sustantial

I have had good luck with Yakima racks. I first used Yakima on my Expedition to carry two kayaks.
They make brackets (landing pads) that install into the LR3 roof rails without removing the roof rail end caps. The towers and cross bars attach to the landing pads. They are easy to mount /dismount. MHB
