Safety Devices’ G4 Expedition roof rack for Defender 90 now available through Britpart network Price: Ca £1500 Available from: Britpart dealers SAFETY DEVICES’ G4 EXPEDITION ROOF RACK for the Defender 90 is an all-in-one design with no detachable parts. The first thing to say about it, if what you’re planning is a certain kind of expedition, is that it’s not compatible with a roof tent – but the second is that this is because of the wrap-around luggage rail which completely surrounds the rack itself. Made for the Defender 90 Hard-Top and Station Wagon, the rack’s base is stepped to follow the profile of the vehicle’s roof. Thus it has two ‘floor’ levels, the front one of which looks pretty much perfectly sized to take a bank of jerry cans. Given the price of diesel, ‘bank’ is pretty much the word, too. The rack mounts via ten clamps which fix it to the Defender’s roof gutters. For this reason, it’s not usable along with an external roll cage – this in turn makes it ideal on vehicles that are going to be fitted with a snorkel. Features include four spotlight brackets at the front and one at the rear. Made from heavy-duty steel tube which is grit blasted, zinc-primed and finished in black powder coat, the rack weighs 30kg and has a usable loading area of 1.9 x 1.2 metres. Accessories available separately include a twin-height floor in 10mm marine ply and an access ladder which mounts to the rear crossmember and the rack itself.
