Question 2008 LR2 aftermarket parts

Hey all, I have a quick question. I am wanting to add some parts to my '08 LR2 and I'm not exactly sure what sites I can trust as far as quality parts and not having to spend an arm and a leg. As far as what parts I'm wanting to add in no particular order I'd say a good quality roof rack that can support some weight if needed, LED light conversion all throughout the vehicle, possibly a lift and and LED bar as well as LED pods around the back and sides. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

The Thule designed?? roof rack for the LR2 hasn’t given me any problems all these years. And the imitations I’ve seen rust, fall apart, and even collapse.

For the rack, Thule is the only good, reliable choice. You can buy the LED's and the required load resistors on Amazon. Do not bother with LED headlights, they will not work on this car without major surgery. The interior lights and side marker lights you can easily convert to LED's but the other lights like turn, brake and stop will need the resistors Lifts are available but the only ones I have found are in the UK. I don't know what you mean by "LED pods".

I like CARID.COM Enter your Year, Make, Model and they list a bunch of parts and accessories for your vehicle.

Suppose I could get a pic... it is the factory option. But the factory option is a Thule.

Never mind, then. I know what the factory option looks like. I thought it was a different style.

Thank you for the input, I will look into all of these and see what I can throw on her. As far as what I mean by LED pods, that's just what I've always heard them called but it's just the small LED lights usually just 2"X2" for example.

Oh, I get it now. As long as they are not attached to something that is monitored for bulb failure, that should be fine.
