Default New frontrunner contour rack

I've decided to add a roof rack to my 110, but I want to keep my OEM ladder and roof rails, so my choices are the smaller frontrunner rack or the OEM rack. However, Frontrunner now has a "contour" version. I can't tell the purpose of the contour feet vs the block feet the rack sits on. I did notice the length was about 200mm more than the non contour version but still 400mm shorter than the full rack.

Does anyone know more about this new contour rack? I love the look of the full size rack, but I'm not willing to part with my ladder, so the biggest I can find that will use the roof rails is what I'm after. The contour seems the best compromise of the dimensions are accurate.

I looked it up and it said you can now get access underneath with this set up. So if you want their underneath holder/table. This rack will allow it.

@ADVAW8S I initially thought the same thing, but the regular rack also says this.

I could not pull a table on my regular rack unless I hooked up in back or really spread out the footpads.

I wanted to retain the factory roof rails as well knowing I would be buying the factory side ladder at some point. I installed the Rhino rack platform 84 in x 49in to their RCL legs that attaches to the rails. I don't know the exact measurements from the inside leg to the other side but I was interested as well to put a table underneath.

Table?

Is that this -- https://www.frontrunneroutfitters.co...le-slides.html

Interesting. I wonder if this would actually fit somehow or work with the OEM expedition rack (off topic).

That's a great looking rack. Do you have a part number for it, and the legs? I took a stab at it and the googler didn't give me anything that would fit. I'm sure I'm not looking in the right spot or need some more detail.
Thanks

@Jbiggzs Thanks for the part numbers. I like that rack and the way it sits. I'm adding it to my wish list for when my P300 comes in next week.
