Hi guys

Searching for a roof rack for my Freelander. Any suggestions on where to find this? Ive seen that there are some racks especialy for the Freelander but they are hard to find.

Thanx!

Only good looking rack IMO is Safety Devices - but need to look hard, and it will be from second hand.
Others look like tratter def or disco

, but if you need only functionality you can go for Hannibal Expedition, Brownchurch , or get something that will fit on your standard roof rails (some platform) like LR Expedition rack (quite noisy) or other basket/platform type.

Do you need a full roof rack or could you manage with the standard roof rails and removable bars which fit across?

Hey, did you find one? I'm looking for one myself

Panasan · Jan 4, 2016

Nope didnt find but made a custom from an old Volkswagen roofrack instead. Does the job for now

Any pics? Let me see what it looks like might do the same myself

Here u go. As you can see its just a Volkswagen roofrack placed on the rails. Does the job for the moment. Im driving about 1000km each week, both highway and offroad. Easy to remove the rack when I dont need it, or just want to place my mtb on the roof.

Looks good man. Cheap as chips too compared to the fitted ones.. I have cross bars myself.. But would love the proper rack..

What model VW is that for? I forsee some shopping on the horizon.....

Panasan · Jan 5, 2016

I have no clue what model. Got it at some junkyard

They're all like hens teeth to get.. Any new ones you manage to get will cost a small fortune.. Best keep an eye on sell sites and scrap yards..

Got one of these roof rack, from direct4x4

Does the job, think it might look better sprayed black, a job for the spring then!!

NoDosh · Jan 12, 2016

Kind of difficult to fit on the 3-door. Unless you have the hen's teeth roof rails. Even crappy rail sets with bits missing get £100+ these days.

I'm liking the black wheels against the body's blue which I'm guessing it's 849 Cairns blue. I've just bought a Cairns blue SE and was thinking about black rims on it. I have D3 that has black rims so like to look.

Thanks for the picture

timster66 · Jan 13, 2016

Thanks Nodge, yeah, you're right, it's Cairns blue. Bought the rims of flea bay, £42 for the 5 (bargain!) and refurbed them myself in satin black. I think they look better than the original alloys it came with.

Reckon the roof rack would look better in black too??

Looks nice and has given me a reason to crack out the paint when the weather improves.
I might go gloss black like my D3 rims. I do wish my beloved Pirelli ATR were available in a Freelander compatible size.

NoDosh · Jan 14, 2016

Slightly oversize, but they do fit Freelander rims

They also do 235/70r16
