Whilst I've no doubt that would be possible, it'd just be too complicated to be useful. You'd end up with a graph tells you that you mustn't go around corners faster than xx mph or on side slopes greater than y degrees on a sliding scale of weight carried, which is fraught with difficulties to assess. Far better from the manufacturers point of view to just state a limit in the way that they have. Darren

Does anyone know if it's the same rack as fitted to old Defender with just a new fitting kit? Or is the rack a completely different size?
I have a 110 rack in the garage so hopefully just a new fitting kit is needed 110 D250 SE HT

I wonder if it’s placed so high because of the rear view camera shark fin thing? Any lower and the rack would either block the view or be touching it. LR racks seem to have a cut out in the rack that goes round the fin.


More likely to give clearance for GPS signals as the sharks fin is also the GPS antenna and the antenna would be shielded by a closely mounted steel roof rack and any load on it Pangea Green D250 90 HSE with Air Suspension, Off-road Pack, Towing Pack, Black Contrast roof , rear recovery eyes, Front bash plate, Classic flaps all round, extended wheel arch kit and a few bits from PowerfulUK Expel Clear Gloss PPF to come
