What about a 2nd hand Brownchurch for day to day abuse and a swish one for rooftenting etc? 2nd handers are often on sale, cheap and bombproof as far as I know?

Go for the Brownchurch Galvanised Roof Rack. Not the best looking but will last for years.

Had a Hannibal for 2 years on a 110 and very pleased, did alot of trip to Scotland with it full and no problems. Had a Frontrunner on a D3 again ok when loaded but got alot of wind noise when not!!!. So wouldn't buy one for 110.

Do the sides unbolt from that? If not, you won't be able to mount a rooftent in the future.

Hannibal or Patriot. One that started out as a 2.4 TDCi 110 XS

IMHO brownchurch roofracks should be illegal if fitted to a Puma Whistle

No compaints about our frontrunner but I think they are hard to find. Personally I think the G4 style looks good, for bombproof hannibal Thumbs Up 59 2.4 110 XS Utility

if you want to buy once and throw tonnes of abuse at it and for it not to fail then Hannibal or Patriot or front runner. Cheers
