Thanks Ben and purplemk for the comments. I finally got some spare time to tack it all together and make the side rails! I've attached some pics again. Not quite sure what I'm going to do for the base; just rails across or a complete floor ie. Chequer plate or something similar, thoughts anyone?

Hi just a quick update on the roof rack. Got the LED spot lights fitted and will be tacking the rack all together today. Will post more pics tomorrow.

Hi tomhop, I bought the sticks about 20 years ago when i first got the land rover. The tilt came from Allwheeltrim.co.uk; really well made and brilliant price and they do loads of different options. Cheers

Hi, just thought I'd put up some more pics of the roof rack build. This is the framework that makes the base; probably have a chequer plate bottom. I've incorporated a small hoop at the front to mount spotlights.

Hi flat, 2.5 sounds high?! I take it you've checked the earth and you have the insulator on the aerial stud and obvious stuff like that? I've literally just checked mine and the swr reading is 1.5 on channel 1 and goes up to 1.7 on channel 40, so i guess i could take 5mm of the whip to balance...

Yer they always shrink but if you tie them on really tight before they get wet they normally are fine. Ta

Hello neilly, Nah, the tilt's about 7 years old. Bought it when we used the Land Rover for our wedding. Yer, it's the only way i can think of picking up structural points without messing around with the tilt. Ta

I've made the mounts for the roof rack to rear hoop, they need cutting down a little still but as you can see from the pics it doesn't interfere with the tilt at all.

Yer, definitely will be more difficult but hopefully with enough space between the rack and top it won't be a mission! I'll get some more pics up later when I've made the upper section.

Hi all, been thinking about making a roof/expedition rack for my S2 with full tilt. It seems there's very little available to buy - i guess its a limited market and also difficult to mount with no 'proper' roof. Anyway i made a start last week and i thought I'd post some pictures in case anyone...

Brings back memories going through these photos!

Thanks guys. I've made some more improvements since then - parabolic springs, lwb brakes and now running lpg. I'll dig out some more piccies.

He's a couple of pictures when we used the Land Rover for our wedding car 5 years ago.

Yer, will do. Although i didn't mention i put a 4.0 v8 in it with rr diffs so its a little quicker than original!

Hi John, I've got a '59 series 2 - I've just rebuilt the engine after being off the road for 18 months. Great to be driving it again. How about you?

Hi all, I'm new to this forum stuff so be gentle with me! I thought I'd get signed up to this forum because I'm just getting back into Landrovering! My series 2 has been off the road for the past 18 months needing an engine rebuild and what with a new addition to the family it's kinda been...

Well thank you. ☺

Hi stuthegeordie, i didn't realise it was an early 90 you had. Fingers crossed you've ordered the right ones.

Hi there, yes i believe it's 320609. This fits series 2 and 3.
