Full or Partial Roof Rack
Ok, so i come from the Nissan Frontier long bed world and now have my 99 Disco 2. Unlike the Frontier which has a load of room the Disco 2's space is at a premium.
With that said i have noted roof racks of varying lengths. Some the cover the whole roof and some that go to the position on the roof where it dips down over the Driver position. In almost all of the pictures i have seen i rarely note any of the roof racks being full, in fact they are frequently empty.
If you have a roof rack can you post a picture and tell me why you chose it and what you store on top...
Just think of this as a person asking to post a picture of the truck you love as you know you love to have a reason to post a picture...
Thanks in advance for your replies.

My 2 cents worth
I went through this a few months ago with an 02 Disco that my daughter drives. She wanted something to haul her rafting, camping, and skiing equipment (she lives in Colorado) She wanted the full rack with the ladder setup just cuz she liked the way it looked.
I took her for a ride in another rig with a full size rack and pointed out the 747 sound that you get at full speed. I asked around here and got pointed to a Trail Tailor bac-pac rack (I think it was Army Rovers suggestion). Anyway I got that setup for $400 and got it on. Almost zero road noise and my daughter loves it. She ties stuff down with rachet straps. Here is a picture of one on somebody elses rig. I didnt photograph hers when done but same basic look.
