Pic request:black 110 with aluminium roof rack
Spent a while searching and using google images but does anyone have any photos or even a car that I could view if nearby.

Im looking for a roofrack for the 110 and pretty much settled on a Hannibal. Now i do not know whetther to leave uncoated or powder coat black. The car is black with plain aluminium chequer plating. I dont really like the all black stealth look so was thinking of an uncoated rack.

Need a little help when spending this kind of money, want to get it right.

Alex

Hi Alex,

As your Defender is black and you say you have plain uncoated CP have you thought about having a black roofrack frame with plain uncoated aluminium runners? I decided on this route and bought a Patriot rack. I'm not sure who else offers the dual finish, but there has got to be others.

The Patriot is heavy, but very well made. However, my only gripes about it is that they use Stainless Steel nuts and bolts for assembly with thread sealant. They are an absolute Censored to undo and that is if you don't mess up the allen head which means a drill out. They are also great when new, but after 6months with rain you can see a chemical reaction between the aluminium and the stainless steel which drips onto your roof and stains the paintwork. Not very good.

Other than the above the Patriot is very solid and I think the Landrover roof would collapse well before the roof rack.

Have a look on my gallery and you will see the roof rack or pm me your e-mail address and I will send you more detailed photos.

Cheers

Steve

Hi Big Russ,

It's a TerraFirma one. Model TF001AC I think.

Cheers

Not got a Hannibal but a patriot I was going to get it black but then decided to leave it silver so I don't need to worry about it getting scruffy.
