Hello,i buy this roofrack,with floors
I`ve done it, now the roof rack is on my discoroof. The Rack has no connection to the standart LR Ladder.
The Windshield in Front?!! Ok, i will think about it. The floors look completly different to these from the pictures.in the next days i will post some pictures,and i will wait for your answers.
PS: there was a big problem with the shipping,some big scratches and one part of the gfk-windshield is broken. . I think the general looking of the rack is good, the floors? Ok they looks like a second roof,its not aluminium and i will find out how it works in normal use!! So long
I've also got one of Olly's Prospeed racks, but am awaiting delivery of the floors. First impressions are really very good. The rack follows the profile of the D3 roof perfectly and the windshield forms a tight seal against the roofline, so there is very little wind noise, even at 70mph on the motorway.
I'll also post some pics when I have the floors.
Edit: If anyone wants to take a look at it in the flesh then let me know. I'll be in Tavistock this weekend if anyone down that way is interested.Andy

Hello,
I have just spoke to Olly and the racks are now in production - he just has not had the time to update the forum. Hopefully I can get one and I will post photos for those who want to see them.
Looks like a good rack !

No buffeting up to 80mph after that you know it fitted
Ken - see any possibilities of being able to fit roof lights ?The next American ex-pat that calls it a "truck" is going to find out what 2.7 tons feels like on their foot...

I would be interested ,but i am afraid shipping to USA might be a killer..., also how one would attach kayaks and such ,it looks like we would need some kind of risers to level attachments with outside railing?but main qastion here is how much for shipping to the east coast?

That is one great looking piece of kit, IMHO the lines compliment the D3 shape more than my Expo. I like the cowl shape, more angular....
As for your D3 Ken, 8) as usual.
