6F Roofrack delayed

[Jeroendecker]

Hi everyone,

I have been waiting a while for my roofrack (short version), since it has been in back order here in NL as well as in SA. Last I heard from our dealer is that apparently they are waiting for the Ineos engineers to give a final okay in releasing these roofracks, which should happen no later then Q3.
It got me thinking:" why would that be? It's just a Rhino Rack." I then found an interesting video from Ronny Dahl explaining the differences between dynamic and static load on the roof, but even more importantly, the onroad and offroad maximum load capacity. Which got me quite worried about the capabilities of the Rhino Racks being used. I havent been able to find the offroad max. yet, but maybe someone knows already? Here's a link to the video: video

Rhino usually derate their racks by 50% when used offroad.
I queried this and was told by Ineos that they were not aware of the Rhino rack needing to be derated.
Maybe that has now changed.
They are damned heavy racks
Q3 is still 6 months away so that seems like a long time.

I ordered the 6ft too last year and still waiting. The fact that it's no longer an option on the build website tells me it's not going to be released.

This I a better solution IMO, but you can decide what is best for your application. The Rhino looks great, but IMO the Leitner is the best option on the market at this time.

Roof rack from Leitner Designs coming soon

I installed the Leitner 3/4 roof rack a couple of months ago (along with the wind reduction strip) and I could not be happier with the decision. The roof rack not only looks great on the Grenadier, but it made of the highest quality materials. I have had no wind noise issues and it is a great...
