Default Rails?

In true land rover fashion my LR3 HSE didn't come with any way to mount cross bars on the top. I'm scouring the interwebs to find the factory rail system I need to put on but can't find it any where. Does anyone know where to find these bad larrys and also can someone recommend a decent roof rack system? Thanks!!!

Thinking about buying this-
Land Rover Discovery 3 4 LR3 LR4 Roof Rail Roof Rack and Cross Bars | eBay
and then putting something like this on-
Urban Offroad URBAN OFFROAD EXODUS SERIES PLATFORM HALF ROOF RACK - RACKS/LADDERS - PRODUCTS Urban Offroad
Does anyone know where to get for realz tracks?

These:

Will go into your factory tracks.

Also Yakima makes some adapters that will go into your factory tracks.

There are tracks just not the ones you are used to. Unless someone took off then entire roof section then you are looking at that along with the bars.

Pick up a set of rails from roverlandparts, or bputah, or order from Justin @ lucky8llc.com If you want a real decent roof rack, I suggest the Baja Rack, very well made and very rugged. My only complaint with it, is my car doesn't fit into the garage with it mounted.

Yeah I'm pretty adamant on my g ride being able to fit in the garage. I guess I could access height the thing everyday... Which would work until the girlfriend didn't do it, then I'd have a whole new set of problems... I like that 1/2 rack from urban offroad, Urban Offroad URBAN OFFROAD EXODUS SERIES PLATFORM HALF ROOF RACK - RACKS/LADDERS - PRODUCTS Urban Offroad
anyone ever bought any of their stuff? I'd still need some tracks though.

Measure your garage door as well, I can measure mine for you. At off road height I had less than 1/4" clearance, and I knew it would be just a matter of time before I forgot going in or out, so I opted to mount it when I need it.

The one you linked to is lower, but it doesn't appeal to me much, also very close to the glass. I originally thought I wanted a frontrunner, low profile, but Justin talked me out of it because the Baja is much better made.

I blasted him an email, thanks dude! I can't believe there isn't more of a variety for these things. Oh well, that baja does look good, does it take away from your already impressive mileage?
