AluCab Roof rack Fit
Hi There
My 110 has an AluCab Icarus fitted and I want to fit a roof rack. It’ll be used for light loads. Nothing crazy. I want it to hide the extra height a little as well as carrying some non permanent roof cases when away on a trip.
I also want to fit a few solar panels on top which I think would be better suited on the front slope of the roof…..So my question is if I get a 2/3rd length roof rack or 90 size should I fit it to the front or the rear of the roof? My worry is if it is on the rear with panels at the front it’ll interfere with the tent popping up? Anyone got any experience with this or could cast some light on it?

Thanks!

I have no first hand experience, but recently saw a 110 with alucab, roof rack and solar panels in Tobermory on the Isle of Mull..

Just following up on this post - does anyone know what the brand of the roof rack in the photo is? Or one that might be similar to that one? (I am also looking to do the same....).

Thank you!

That looks like a Front Runner roof rack.

Thanks John. Yes - possibly this one? https://www.frontrunneroutfitters.com/en/u...ne-ii.html

It looks like this one also works in combination with the Alucab Icarus?: https://www.flatdoguk.com/defender-110---rax~969

Does anyone else know of other decent racks that work alongside the Alucab Icarus?

Thank you!

Ian

After a lot of research I bought the tall full Front Runner roof rack so I can fit the table underneath. I have the Alu-Cab Icarus fitted but yet to fit the roof rack.
