Our Review: Slimline II Roof Rack for Defender 90
We recently got our hands on the Front Runner Roof Rack Kit designed specifically for the Land Rover New Defender 90, and we're impressed with what this Slimline II Contour system brings to the table. The low-profile design maintains the Defender's sleek silhouette while adding substantial carrying capacity for our off-road adventures.
What we particularly appreciate is how the rack integrates with the vehicle's existing mounting points, ensuring a secure fit without any drilling. The aluminum construction strikes an excellent balance between durability and weight, which is crucial for maintaining your vehicle's center of gravity on challenging terrain.
Installation was straightforward, though we'd recommend having an extra pair of hands to help position it correctly. The modular design allows for extensive customization with Front Runner's wide range of accessories, making this roof rack an excellent foundation for building out your perfect overlanding setup.
