Re: Roof Rack
I had one that came up to the sunroof and was fine for a while but when overlanding I needed to pack more stuff on ! Always need space for water and feul and some firewood . You need to see witch way you are going to mount your tent first and then look at size .with a full one you can fit a trapdoor above the sunroof to take pics if you have to .
There a lot of used ones avalable second hand my friend maruis got a fruntrunner full one for 2k on gumtree
Just be carefull that you don't pay to mutch for the wrong one the mounts are 500 eatch
To me the wind resistance on a small and full one was the same and I always need more space

Re: Roof Rack
I think that rack is to narrow for a patrol just check I think it needs to be 1350 wide to line up with gutters?
