Roof bars/rack
Has anyone had any luck with a decent set of roof bars or rack? Looking to get some for the 8... are there any universal ones? Cheers. Sorry if there is another thread for this but looked and couldn’t really see owt.

Re: Roof bars/rack
Depending what you're looking to move I've used an inflatable roof rack before which was fine for short trips. I also have a Rhino roof rack which fits fine - they don't get used any more and I'm looking to get rid of them if you're interested?Stokesyjnr wrote: ↑Thu May 06, 2021 8:33 pmHas anyone had any luck with a decent set of roof bars or rack?

Re: Roof bars/rack
That's some impressive downforce you're running in that first pic but it does show how strong those bars and straps are
