This setup keeps me at 81 inches, and the $110 - 44" universal basket off ebay left plenty of room for the LED bar compared to the price of the Safety Devices racks..

Where did you find the brackets to mount your rack to the roof rails?

Your car looks awesome btw! Another unrelated question, what size tires are you running? It seems like you don't have a lift, but the tires look big. I'm about to get 255/70-16s but wondering if I could go bigger

Tires are Warden A/T 245/75/16 from treadwright.com

I'm pretty happy with them and at $90 a piece they are a steal!

Great looking Disco! Is this the basket you used?

Luggage Basket with Steel Wind Fairing - Summit Cargo Gear

I looked at the included mounting brackets but not sure how they worked so well for you.
