There is also Patriot Roof Racks http://www.patriotroofracks.co.uk

Hannibal have shut their doors which is a shame.

Cargo bear one, https://www.nakatanenga.de/en/optional-equ...-defender. Searching for my first Defender...and started just as Covid hit, so talk about timing.

5 months after starting the search I found it, and here is the details

Although the ones Terrafirma sell look suspiciously like the original Hannibal roof rack design with the square rear end. https://terrafirma4x4.com/alloy-expedition...x1-4m.html

To be honest there is such a variety in styles and shapes of racks that they all serve a different purpose and it all depends on what you want a roof rack for.

A genuine Land Rover one looks nice and is okay for putting stuff in but is completely useless for mounting a roof tent for example.

I have been looking for a Hannibal rack for my 90 for a while as I like the look and it is suitable for a roof tent and putting stuff on when needed.

Cargo bear from nakatanenga is probably the slimmest option available and is modular,

Front runner probably have the widest range of accessories available.

The flatdog rax is just a copy of an old front runner wind cheetah rack

You are not wrong Jimbo55. I have a Safety Devices 90 Expedition rack on my roll cage and it is hands down one of the most robust racks I have every owned. It would easily carry a Smart car on top Rolling Eyes Not that you would want to mind. But seriously strong rack.

Just not what I need, so it will be put up for grabs shortly.

Sadly there are no more new Hannibal roof racks so if you want one keep an eye on the second hand market. Wish I had never sold mine now. Brilliant racks and like you say great for mounting a roof tent on.

Suspect I will mount the tent directly on to the rack and look for a dinky rack to go in front of it above the front seats. Or perhaps a demountable storage box... Rolling Eyes

Patriot all day for me, even got a student discount Thumbs Up

The build quality and fit of parts IMO eclipses all other manufacturers. As an engineer it was so satisfying to put together Very Happy

They are also only sent to powder coating once you've ordered so the finish is immaculate as its not been sitting in a warehouse.

Best to call though if you can as he can be quit busy at times. Stuart

Tembo 4x4. Biggest regret I have is selling mine. Now have a Hannibal but the Tembo is better made.

I had the Fatdog Rax fitted to mine for a while and that was a great low profile and also quite lightweight bit of kit. Easy to put things on it as well. Mine now has the Safety Devices full rack on and as stated it seems to be built like a tank.

I fitted a Patriot Rack to my 90 in 2007/8 and it looks as good now as it did when I fitted it. I had the ladder welded a few years ago when I broke it but other than that it is excellent and highly recommend.

Glad this thread came up, I've been thinking about getting a big rack to replace my expedition Lr rack on my DCPU.
I'm tempted by something full length with the twin ladders on the back to support but keep seeing this pop up on my searches and I'm tempted to try to recreate.
The Tembo one looks great, just wish it could be full length on a pickup.
