I will report back once I install.
Anytime!
And thanks for the tip!

I did see someone had both the FR Rack and PR Ladder on Instagram without issue. The cool thing about the FR rack (short) is that the feet can go wherever to make room for other items that may use the factory rails.

The short one should be fine since it attaches to the roof rails. I am trying to install the long rack and the PR ladder next week. We may need to modify the ladder’s base a bit.

It'll be interesting to see how you wind up on this project, I am sure many are in the same boat as yourself. Good luck and make sure to take lots of pictures a long the way!

We ended up cutting the ladder’s base and bolting it to the rack. It’s pretty solid in there and it looks fine to me. I really like the end result.

This looks more akin to the original defender. This looks better than oem!
