You just it on backwards...

I thought upside down in the southern hemisphere?
Am I missing something?

Looks decent

There's one on the US configurator:
View attachment 7812522

Wish we got that option in the UK - would have been great with safari windows

That's the one I want. In Australia.

What about ARB 3/4 length (1835 x 1445) with cross rails.
It looks a very low profile but is 145mm narrower than the rhino 3/4.

BASE Rack | Sizes

A revolutionary low-profile, lightweight, versatile aluminium roof rack. Wide range of quick release accessories, interchangeable guard rails available.

I want the spine mounting system.

I want the spine mounting system.

ARB base rack is fully welded Tazzie, you’d be getting better rigidity from the rack.

Have you asked if you can?

 

[grenadierboy]

I want the spine mounting system.

Do you mean the rails running lenght ways?

 

[Tazzieman]

Do you mean the rails running lenght ways?

Yep

 

[grenadierboy]

Yep

At first blush the ARB seems to have a lot of things going for it:
super low profile
low price
mixture of steel & alum
flexibility (add side rails etc.)

I am certainly going to check one out in person and try it on the top

For the US - you are better off waiting. The current full rack is more expensive than what RINO sells the racks for - and they have an additional 15% off when you join their email list. Ineos - they learned it from Porsche - is charge a premium for every accessory above the market price....

In the NA configurator, both the full roof rack and the cross bars have the * indicating that they are dealer-installed accessories but the 3/4 roof rack does not. Do others agree that the omission is most likely a typo? I cannot imagine the 3/4 rack being a factory-installed option...

What’s not to like from the Swiss . airline bars following through on the Grens side fixing bars, height only 30mm above roof, 250kg per unit and resting on the grab handles (not sure how they got to this weight figure). But look like the bars were designed with this in mind. Lovely

The bars were designed with this sort of thing in mind.
You need to be careful of the 250kg per panel as you still can't exceed the total dynamic 150kg and static 420kg from Ineos spread evenly over the roof.
They look good though.

Just an FYI - the product page describes the 250kg rating as the static rating for each panel. It would be nice if they listed the dynamic rating.

I’m getting one priced up by a UK manufacturer just now. I‘ll let you know when I have prices..

Tim, the Ineos technical guy at the MD test drive event, said optioning a roof rack is one configuration that affects the factory spring selection. He said the roof rack gets stiffer springs. Also, the rack feet seem significantly different from Rhino's typical offering. For these reasons I specified it on my pre-order.
