The FR rack is great, but your nice quiet D3 will suddenly develop a lot of wind noise. I would only put it on if you really need it. At times i wish mine wasnt there. I had thought about taking it off but i know if i do i will never put it on again Duncan

if you line the underneath with an 8 x 4 18AWG ally sheet then the noise decreases to a level similar to when you have the LR roof bars I'll put a pic in my gallery if I get a chance to show...
doesn't help the mpg much though and theeeeennn......???
i just put a 2"x6MM flat bare down the middle and its fine need to put it under realty o ally of courseHome of RLD Hidden winch mounts Spare wheel Locks Trailer Body Fabrication [email protected] D3/4 sump plates MY 14 sump plates and the Discovery Sport wheel protectors Discovery 5 wheel locks

I would suggest that you also replace the roof rails with the FR ones as they can handle more weight .
