Genuine defender roof rack & ladder question.
Hi all, a looking into getting a genuine roof rack for my defender and had a question about the ladder for the back, do the genuine access ladders fit on with the nas style rear bumpers, im sure id seen somewhere saying they dont but have since then seen a picture showing the two together. any help would be great Thumbs Up

If its the normal flat bar with round bar rungs then it should fit no problem if its similar to the Safety Devices one then nope, cant find a picture of a Gen LR one. but know I have a NAS rear step and roof rack ladder Very Happy

In the LR online brochure it says not compatible with the rear step bumper .......... even though it seems to show it fitted with one?? http://accessories.landrover.com/gb/en/def...ss-ladder/
(probably a photo-shopped picture?)

the other ladder doesn't have that message http://accessories.landrover.com/gb/en/def...ar-ladder/

for any future reference, the ladder rack does fit on with a rear step bumper, so no idea why they say not compatible with each other Thumbs Up

I love the look of the expedition Rachel but after owning 3 and each one rusting within 3 years, I had to buy something better. Went for a Hannibal instead. 1951 80" S1 2.0

Another genuine expedition rack question...

After 900 miles, the front doors on Mrs Doublea's adventure are catching the mounting brackets.

What are the options re fixing and how easy is this?

My guesses :

1. Take off and refit the brackets.
2. Slacken the door hinges and adjust door position
3. Warranty job.

I think the rack must have moved, I can't see how the doors could have gone up. I don't really want to put it into the local dealer as it's a hassle and it'll probably come back scratched or something. Current Steeds:

1990 TDR 250 (in bits again)

The genuine/G4 ladder attaches to the rack at the top and then half way down on the rear body. It has a l shaped step that sits again on the body above where a nap step would attach. Bearmach sell one for around £160 I think. I'm looking to get that as my current ladder blocks the number plate and reverse light.

Firstly to echo the other comments on this thread, don't buy a Land Rover rack if you actually want to use it to put stuff on, they're overpriced crap.

But if you do still want to buy one, I've got one for sale Rolling with laughter

Ha ha ha!!!!!!

This is my favourite post on this forum ever! Dead right too! They are the best looking rack out there though IMO, but the quality/longevity is questionable.

I agree. Best looking and genuine over all the alternatives. Marine ply cut to right size, painted, truckler spray to top, stainless p-clips and you've got yourself a long lasting base to attach things onto!
