Received the gutter legs : they fitI’ve ordered two of them. Will say here if they fit the Grenadier…
@jb_hamon most useful to know! thanks! also, which size gutter legs did you select?Received the gutter legs : they fit
I’m now waiting for two other pairs of legs and three rhinorack HD 1800mm bars to complete my setup.
Depending of the final result, I might copy this solution :

Do we know if they are exactly the same as the INEOS supplied ones? I have ordered the pair from INEOS but would like a 3rdReceived the gutter legs : they fit

I’m not sure. I was waiting for the cross bars ordered at INEOS with the car (as well as the sidesteps which I don’t have received either), but the lack of information about a delivery date made me look for something else.Do we know if they are exactly the same as the INEOS supplied ones?

I have also ordered the cross bars and am hoping the legs have the reinforcement as per the platform. Three of these will be better for me than other options, also much easier to remove than the platform.I’m not sure.

But looking at the rhinorack roof rack leg, the cross bars’ legs might have received the same design :
Rhinorack roof rack detail
The Gren. option crossbars appear to be the Rhino Reconn Deck Bar plus standard issue legs. The Reconn Deck Bar is listed on the RhinoRack website at approx. Au$200 ..each. The legs are A$159 per pair. However the maximum length of the bar available on the RhinoRack website seems restricted to 1500mm whereas the Gren. bar is a shade over 1700m. Further research required.I have also ordered the cross bars and am hoping the legs have the reinforcement as per the platform. Three of these will be better for me than other options, also much easier to remove than the platform.
I reckon there will be an active second hand market for the cross bars where owners buy a second pair and then sell one, as they only want three cross bars (That’s if you can’t buy the as individual units from Rhinorack).

@DaveB : roof strips, you call those horizontal, black things on top of the roof, right?roof strips
The information can be found right next to how to properly get your Diff to work.@DaveB : roof strips, you call those horizontal, black things on top of the roof, right?
I still wonder, why the four handle bars are not properly documented by indeos. neither I am aware of any rating about load.
I like the idea of the lower profile rack, however have concern if the rack rests on top of the 4 roof strips thatThe information can be found right next to how to properly get your Diff to work.
When looking BSI, got like how it mounts right into the Grenadier frame, pretty slick move there. @DaveB I wonder that with minimal movement from the rack, the rubber strips will have less side to side flex and more vibration dampening.

My concerns also but I have to say the Black Sheep guy does instill confidence that he knows what he is doing and is also willing to explain his engineering on video.I like the idea of the lower profile rack, however have concern if the rack rests on top of the 4 roof strips that
with wind vibration from the rack onto the strips it will cause the strips to abrade the paint under them. The strips are hard plastic and not rubber and they flex too. Under constant vibration, especially off-roading, I am concerned they would rub the roof paint off over time. I have thought about pulling off the the strips and carefully glueing on some EDPM rubber sheeting on the bottom of them or back filling them with a flexible caulk and then glueing down a layer of EDPM rubber sheeting, and after trimming them to width, resetting them back on the roof. Although this would be a bit of work, it would stop the strips from flexing when under constant vibration and lessen the chance of the roof paint getting ruined and likely help keep water from getting under the strips too.
