It does seem to hit quite high on those legs.
Yep, I reckon I’m going in that direction Steve. Haven’t seen the gutter mounts for it as yet though.
Add 10kg for the mount kit.
at that length it must only be a 3/4 rack
The Base racks use a gutter mount ($400+ for 6 legs) load capacity they say is 150kg
I’m expecting the 7 beam (1,835mm x 1,445mm) would be the go if you’re clearing the safari windows.

I called ARB HQ last week and was advised that they won't start looking at a rack until they have access to the vehicle. I have an ARB rack on my Defender and feel it is excellent quality, as well as light. It is 1445 wide but I think would need to be about 200mm wider for the Grenadier.
Interesting, thanks Tony. I don’t suppose you have a photo of it on your Defender? Found any issues?
They are quoting 25kg per leg but unsure if that is static or dynamicI’m expecting the 7 beam (1,835mm x 1,445mm) would be the go if you’re clearing the safari windows.
I like that the legs are adjustable however I suspect this is where the max weight limit arises - might be worth fabricating rigid mounts of the required height.
I only want to be putting heavy loads up there on a very occasional basis, but others may vary.
BASE Rack | Sizes
A revolutionary low-profile, lightweight, versatile aluminium roof rack. Wide range of quick release accessories, interchangeable guard rails available.
No particular issues but accessories are expensive - I'm building my own plywood brackets for spare wheel, fuel, etc. The roller on the back is great, for example, to get spare wheel up onto the rack. 25 Kg loading for each bar.
