New roof rack for Land Rover Defender

6th February 2020

A new roof rack engineered specifically for the 2020 Land Rover Defender 110, has been launched.

The rack is said to combine core overlanding quality with a design that matches the exterior styling of the Defender 110. It is designed with an aluminum tray, a 3CR12 stainless-steel vehicle mounting system and without the use of plastic, aimed at sustaining the rack’s integrity in harsh weather.

With a static load rating of 740 lb, the roof rack meets Land Rover’s recommended maximum dynamic load rating of 370 lb and is said to be able to withstand the stress of on-road or off-road driving, while contributing to fuel savings and lessening vehicle wear.

The Front Runner 2020 Defender Rack kit contains all of the components needed to mount the cargo rack to a 2020 Land Rover Defender, including the aluminum tray, wind deflector and foot rails. The mounting system bolts to the existing mounting points on the body of the vehicle, eliminating the need for drilling.

Built with T6 aluminum and 3CR12 stainless steel and coated in black epoxy powder, the roof rack system weighs approximately 78 lb and can be adjusted or removed.

South Africa-based adventure travel gear company Front Runner Outfitters manufacture and market the roof rack and its accessories
