    That is a great looking rig. I love the rack maybe someday when the vehicle is running well and I've run out of need to do projects.......

      This rack came with my SIII. I liked it so much I swapped it on to my 110 before I sold the Series. I've had to for years and it's carried everything from boats to a bathroom suite. I have since decked it with ply to make it easier to walk on.

        Regards,
        After looking at many different racks I would hypothesize that one could use this rack flipped around, however I do not think it would be long enough to come to the rear of the vehicle whilst still lining up with the window openings. This is only a guess, but I am sure you could get some measurements on that and confirm it.

        Another idea would be to ask our host for a rack that meets your specs, as they do build them...

        After much mental debate I have decided on a brownchurch with ladder (no 4 place NATO can holders) I did not like where the can holders where located. Hopefully the rack is here when I get back from Thailand. That gives RN a month... Hope that is enough time guys.

          Question for Daurie

          Hi Daurie,

          I got to looking at your Photobucket pictures again, and your Rover is really great. I was wondering what kind of front seats you have there (Exmoor?) and what type and size tire you run. In one pic it looks like a BFG MT but in others it looks like something a bit tamer. What's your preferred tire size?

          Thanks,

          Myron

            Those seats were in there when I got the truck. I think they are the exmoor highbacks.

            The tires are BFG MT KM2 tires. 235/85-16 They do just as well if not better in mud IMO. The tread is similar to the krawler TA so I would assume they are better on rock than the standard MT. Either way I like them alot and they ride good for an aggressive MT.

            Thanks for the compliments.

              How do the brownchurch racks compare to the RN racks? Other than price!

                Rovers North roof racks are hand-built from stainless steel to your specifications and or configuration needs. Many options are available.


                Brownchurch racks are galvanized steel (as shown on the Defender 90 below) or black powdercoated round tubing.
