I don't know about sheetrock, but once I bought a 12' 4X4 at home depot for a landscaping project. Ran the front of the 4x4 up through the front sunroof. I looked like a mobile assault vehicle with a cannon attached. Near my homeanother Disco owner was at a red light, I could see the howls of laughter coming fromhim.

I fit a 4x8 sheet of plywood in the back of my Blazer..but i've got the full lift gate, not the one-up-one-down setup like my Rover, and I tied it all down properly, but I didn't account for the tailgate pushing down on the wood...snapped the piece in 2 after hitting a bump at 30 mph [:@]

I use my roof rack for lumber supplies as long as they are not too heavy; although with my 2 inch lift kit the roof rack is a bit of a reach.
Make sure you secure your load properly though. Once, when I had my Izuzu Trooper I put 6 sheets of 3/4 inch 4x8 plywood on top but only secured it around the right and left side of my rack and when I hit the brakes at a stop light 5 of the sheets came flying off and just cleared the front hood before hitting the street. Luckily no one was in front of me and only my ego was damaged!![Frown](https://landroverforums.com/forum/images/smilies/udbMv2o.png)
Remember to secure the load with at least one strap or rope from front to back!
