Hi Jim_bean, are they rebadging frontrunner racks? That looks identical to the frontrunner rack I bought from them a couple of years back.

Yes - aluminium. I could pick it up and move it around on my own but it was a 3 man job to get it up there.
Its similar to the Front Runner. I was impressed with the noise levels as well. Not much noise up there even at 70. |

No - its their own rack. They've not announced it yet other than a coming soon on their Facebook site.
I think its made in England. I was after a Front Runner and Ben at Flatdog suggested trying their own rack instead. Seems good quality to me and a better price. |

Side to side.
Not sure what's happened to Front Runner, couldn't get one of their racks anywhere. Very happy with the Rax though, just waiting for ladder and the rack side rails. My Disco 'best bits' Defender 110 XS CSW 2013 |

very nice rack, they would work really well for maggiolinas with the side-to-side slats.

I'm waiting for the ladder and rails too. I think they're supposed to be available in August.
Wolf boxes and bags are looking good. |

Looks good, is there any potential to fit spot lights to the front edge.

Yes, definitely. I believe a whole range of accessories will be available at Flatdog soon; Expedition Rails, Ladders, Light bars etc.
Best thing is to speak with Ben @ Flatdog. |
