Roof Racks For Land Rover Defender
We design and manufacture Roof Racks for the Land Rover Defender 90, 110 and Discovery 1 and 2 series – but they may fit other vehicles too – just call us to discuss. Defender Roof Racks are available in three lengths 1.5m, 2.15m and 2.8m. The steel versions have zinc plating and thermoplastic powder coat paint for long life rust protection. Masai Defender Roof Racks are easy to assemble and are supplied with fitting instructions.
We also designed the Masai Defender Flat Roof Racks in 1.5m, 2.15m and 2.8m for Land Rover Defender 90 and 110 – suitable for folding roof tents. The Masai Luggage Roof Racks have a rail that is too high for folding tents, hence why we designed the Masai Flat Roof Racks for Land Rover Defenders. In Spring 2014 we launched our stylish Masai Tubular Roof Racks for Land Rover Defender 90 and 110, and Aluminium Defender Roof Racks are NEW for 2016.

Strengthening Kit (Pre 2002 Rear Doors ONLY)
(see optional extra product below)
If you have Pre 2002 Land Rover we would recommend you purchase the Strengthening Kit as an optional extra as the Pre 2002 Land Rover rear doors are "single skin" meaning they have very little strength to carry a spare wheel on them along with our carrier. Our strengthening kit bolts to the inside of the door to add needed strength to the door to avoid
Fitting to Series 3 Models
- You will need to drill just one hole in the rear crossmember for the bottom hinge of the SWC. (See last photo in thumbnails for reference)
- A longer bolt will be needed for this hole created.
- Then shim the the lower hinge with 2 Grade 8 washers to fill the gap between the hinge and the cross member.
- PLEASE NOTE: Do not purchase the optional strengthening kit if you have series 3, it will not fit.
