Roof Rack!!!!
#31
I do like the Proud Rhino / lucky 8 ladder. Anyone know what clearance is required to mount the lucky 8 ladder?

@DPReef - I have the Proud Rhino ladder. It actually mounts under the Expedition (JLR) roof rack not above it. So it doesn't add any incremental height. Also, it extends back (towards the rear) less than the spare so you should be covered within both dimensions.

I wanted to go with a more traditional set up too for skiing and family trips but was frustrated bc I didn’t find any new Defender options on the Yakima or Thule websites. After reading the article below online, I reached out Thule South Africa about how to configure an after market roof rack since Thule has not released any compatible roof racks in the US for the new Defender. They couldn't have been more helpful and educated me that previously released Thule fit kits are being used for the new Defender in both Europe and South Africa. Below is what you need which I was able to find at online stores or on Ebay. I did mine in all black to match the roof (see pic) and it looks much better (and lower profile) than the OEM dealer option. As important, I am experiencing almost no wind noise. Hope this helps everyone.

Do you know what modifications are needed to mount the Lucky8 Ladder with the Front Runner Rack? Seen it done a few times, but not a ton of detail around how.
