    Roof rack for the Stage 1

    What is the best full sized roof rack for a series rover? I would like to get one before I paint the Stage 1.

      I have had a brownchurch on my 109 for years and have been very happy.

      Not sure if it still an issue but to put it on my 109 with a tropical top we cut off two diagonal supports to clear the sunsheet. Cutting these off has never been an issue with any of my usage.

            thanks, any idea of its load capacity? I was hoping it could carry about 1200 lbs of moose next fall.

                  Good Grief, not another one!

                  Just toss the meat in the back of the truck. If you open the back windows you can hang the antlers out them and use them to dry your clothes.....Plus the seats will just wipe off.

                        I guess it would be better to have a moose in the back instead of one on the front you ever see what hitting one of them does to a vehicle. It is my civic duty to shoot a moose every year so they don't get hit by a car, besides it is the best healthy meat there is and very tastey. eating moose burger chillie right now.

                              I love all of the animals right next to the potatoes and gravy.
