Roof Rack help...
Looking to get a roof rack for my LR3,
I have found a couple of factory ones used for around 900 shipped to me.
Also looking at the standard or contractor voyager roof racks.
Anyone has experience with those 2?
Which one should i go with
They will cost about the same
One used the other built to order.
Love to hear some opinions.
Thanks

I have a front runner rack and It has been great for me. The only problem with buying a genuine rack is accessories for the rack are hard to find and very expensive. Like shovel holder, spare tire mount, light mounts ect. If it were me I would get something other than a oem rack unless it was a really good deal.

Whatever u get be sure all the mounts are included, unless u can buy em seperate a factory rack without mounts is useless
If u can buy the mounts I expect they are not cheap , just throwing that out there since I see em for sale that way used sometimes

Go voyager - Contractor.. you will be happy with that, cant justify paying the same price for a oem rover one made out of plastic... oh the ship time was twice as long... for me at least.
Love my voyager rack! Hands down our recommend it

Got a FR rack, really like it. There are a few add on items but they do have a $$ price. I fabricated my shovel and ax holder. Got a Baja septor can holder and drilled new holes to fit the FR rack, repaint and put it on, no big deal.
Sometimes you have to be a bit inventive to get what you want.
FR rack holds all my camping items but the extra weight up top makes for a bit of a change to the COG and you need to be aware of it.
I bought the FR spare tire carrier but them got a Tactical 4X rear bumper with swing away tire carrier and never used it, still in the box...it's for sale.
