Roof rack
OK I am after a roof rack, that sounds simple until you say for a D3.
I have watched and lost 2 flea-bay G4 style racks in the last 6 months and they are no longer available?
The prospeed one has gone quiet and was advertised around the £800 mark.
Frontrunner and the other expo type racks are expensive for once or twice a year use.
So does any one know of a reasonably priced rack or anyone converted a regular rack or D3 roof bars.
Come on Uncle Ray you must have a idea.

No it does'nt I am afraid...
Expo Racks, like mine have ceased in production, not sure if its permanent or not really, but those with Expo's now command the prices especially when/if they wanna sell
Contact TFC, he can get Frontrunner racks, supply n fit , or just do as you are and wait for one on ebay, but they get snapped up pretty quick

Depends on what type you want, if you want the look of the Expo, then its either 2nd hand, or Prospeed (if they are doing one still).............
I Saw a 'Winbo rack somewhere the other day, It's shorter than an expo, but much cheaper. They look ok, but I have not seen one in the flesh

Chop the sides off, add a couple of clamps to hold onto the roof cross bars and you have a D3 rack For details on the next Kielder Safari click visit the Kielder Safari website
