| ........where I can get an Expedition type roof rack for a '96 Jeep Cherokee. It would appear that they are rarer than rocking horse cr*p I know you are all Landy and Jap owners, but if anyone happens to spot one while they're surfing on on their travels, I'd be grateful for a nod. | |

| I had same problem with the L200 I can get one but it involves me taking it like a man for the cost of what its going to be it just is not worth it.
My soloution down the scrappy pulled some roof rack bars off a transit £20 for that, and onto freecycle for some bits and ebay for some others.
All in I rekcon the lot will cost me less than £100 for a semi custom built bit of kit, prob wont look pritey at all but hey if it gets me some storage for a few months then hey its paid for itself
You could try TBR but there not cheap mate | |

| Just had a look at TBR. Roof rack would be worth more than the truck | |

| Problem solved Did a swap with a fellow Jeep owner. He gets a pair of Rocky Road 3" Lift Shackles and some extended U Bolts that I had laying around in the garage, and I get a custom built full length roof rack. Result | |

| A great result Steve; and good news for the Green Oval guys. It increases the amount of spares you can carry for them. You can see how they've appreciated your efforts. Ace. | |

Only one available at the moment and it probably doesn't do it justice, but it gives you an idea. | |

| Tim - Can you change that Staff Sergeant's signature (and rank). He's got the scores the wrong way around. (Typical L/R owner). | |
