Britpart expedition roof rack
Has anyone here bought this roof rack? Link to lucky8's listing: https://lucky8llc.com/collections/de...tion-rood-rack
It looks like it's longer than the OEM rail front runner rack, and according to lucky 8 sales it uses the OEM rails. I was wondering if anyone could speak to it's build quality (I also don't know anything about britpart but seems like they've been around for a while making aftermarket parts/accessories for LR vehicles )

It looks very similar to the frontrunner, except for the differences you called out. I have the frontrunner slimline II for OEM rails, so let me try to give a little perspective.
The frontrunner is LOUD without the additional $200 fairing. This may be a bit better with the crossbars running vertical vs horizontal on the frontrunner, but I'd be a little worried about noise as it doesn't look fairing compatible.
I don't love the frontrunners "bolt together" design and would prefer fully welded, which this is. Only negative is the welds look a little ugly in the pictures.
Otherwise the design looks really similar to FR and it bet it works well.
