New Defender OEM expedition rack gear mounting parts

[shawnpalmer]

I am looking for whatever mounting hardware Land rover used to mount various items to the OEM rack. They show the new Defender riding all over continents doing testing and I have the rack, but nobody knows what they used to mount all the gear on top. Any info would be appreciated.

I'm sure QuickFist makes compatible ones. Should be able to measure the rack size and then confirm with them...

How do you like it???

The recovery boards used hardware from Lucky 8, which is available on their site. The rest of the tracks appear to be equivalent to Thule aero bars, so anything that fits those should work too.

The blades on the rack are like the Thule blades, so they are not round. All the QF stuff I've seen is for round bars. The vehicle is great, plenty of room, great transmission and engine has tons of power. Everything wipes down and is made well. It's a great Discovery, but not a Defender, lol.

It’s leaps and bounds past the Discovery...how is it not a Defender?

Because it isn't what we all know is a Defender. It is not based on a farm vehicle that you could take to war. It's built like all cars are built today, not made to last forever and be owner maintained.

Except even the old model Defenders were not that for a long time now.

You don’t take an old defender to war.

aquick google search will show how the British army had to pay out millions in compensation to families of troops killed by using an old defender.

they offered zero protection against an IED.

that’s why we have specialist machines for that.
It’s not 1950 any more.
Also from 8 years on a Uk farm.
We didn’t use a defender. We had a Disco 3.
For farm work, there were 3 tractors and 2 6x6 Polaris machines for use.

This argument has nothing to do with the question about roof racks. Please take your petty bickering to the rage/hate thread.

Finally, someone who gets it.
