Rhinorack RMCB02 "basket" on top of the Rhinorack Ineos roof bars might go some way to providing the utility you need...
Hannibal offer a bolt on second rail to create the basket.
Thanks! I'll check it out.
I have a question/issue and any help would be appreciated. So my 2024 Grenadier has the “Rhino Rack” cross bars and I purchased and rhino rack basket, see pics. However, the mount doesn’t work to attach the basket to the cross bars. I reached out to Rhino directly and they advised they can’t help as these cross bars are not sold to the public and specifically made for the Grenadier so would have to go thru the dealership, which I have tried to do and waiting on a response, but not holding my breath. No one could advise on a bigger universal bracket to make it work either. Any ideas? Thanks to anyone readying and trying to help..,,,
have you tried Leitner roof top tent brackets?

No but will show my shop guy this bracket and see what he says. I use a shop that does all the accessories installs on any of my vehicles. He tought about just fabricating a bracket, but told him I wanted to look for one made for this scenario first. When I checked out that bracket from Leitner there cross bars look different than the ones I have. Wonder if my cross bars are the issue? Are these the normal ones for the Grenadier from the dealer?have you tried Leitner roof top tent brackets?

I wouldn't be using the gutters to support a roof rack.
They are a wider gutter that any 4x4 I've seen. However with correct fitment and distribution they do not flex. I'm concerned with all these bar mount ones, (which I do love and look better) that with extra weight the deflection in brackets create a water ingress area. Also no company has shown any testing for these racks. Atleast the gutter is supported by ineos with their racks and would assume any problems could assist. It's warranted by them.
The roof bars pictured are indeed the "bespoke" Rhino Rack offering manufactured for the Grenadier. (I bought 2 pr instead of the roof rack -half the cost and half the weight). The bars are the Rhino-Rack "Reconn -Pro" but at 1670mm in length are specific to the Grenadier.
My understanding was that in order to be sold, and installed, in Australia they have to be designed and tested to and meet Australian Design Rules.
I assumed the tie down bars were never designed to support the weight of a roof rack. They are there as a lashing point to stabilise a load on the roof so that the primary direction of the "moment" exerted by a rope or ratchet strap is generally upwards to preclude the load from moving. The design of some after-market racks appears to rely on the roof strength via the load points provided by the four longitudinal black plastic inserts and stabilised by the tie-down bars.
Wow I wish I had your know
wow i wish i had your knowledge and diy skills, no bs!! I will show this post and your ideas to my shop guy and maybe he will be able to come up with this fix. Thanks for your time…..
The good supports use the bolt holes that those bars are bolted into.
Never seen an overloaded LR gutter fail in the past few decades, and the Grenadier is built better. In fact, the gutters only flex at the cutouts for the grab handles (lashing bars). If using the Rhino Grenadier rack, the gutters are further supported by the rack side plates which attach to the gutter between the cutouts. No flex and rock solid.
Personally I’ll never take this as an accepted use. Does it work, it does hold a rack. Do I want my roof loads and occasional off-road mishaps going into those little fasteners, no way.
