Anyone know the folks over at landroversonly?

Hannibal Rack for Sale - Land Rover Forums : Land Rover and Range Rover Forum

I'm very keen on the Hannibal rack. And this fella seems to be selling one. But I've got no response from him.

Anyone know mx468?

Ok, I've bagged the Hannibal rack.

Now I'm panicking it won't fit with my fatty 04 roof rails.

I'm guessing I'll have to remove the cross rails?

Has anyone fitted one of these on top of 04 roof rails?

It should fit over it.
But in case it doesn't, I'll trade you my 01 rails for you 04 rails....

Ha, ok.

Found this photo of an 04 with 'a' Hannibal rack. So things look good.

I hear that as well but my wife tolerates my 04 SE. I do love the truck but I'm not always sure why...

Measure the drag coefficient of your car

Yep, as aerodynamic as a house brick on wheels.

But nearly all 4x4's are exactly the same and driving at speed is equivalent to being in a windtunnel without the refinements.

Fitted.
A very solid item. I most like the long gutter rail. Means the load is spread over the full gutter length. Not just where clamps come down.
Can't help feeling those wheels need to be black.
Anyone plasti dipped their 18" hurricanes?
