Roof Rails

Between 1995 and 2003 Land Rover equipped all the Discoverys, both Series 1 and 2 with some rather flimsy aluminium rails that bolted through the roof for use in holding things in place. Too much weight or a heavy bump while holding weight, and the rails would bend and possibly kink the roof. 

Mine also leaked on the passenger side.

Rocky-Road outfitters out in Colorado makes some truly beefy all tubular steel that bolt right into the stock mounting points. They certainly look the part. While I have no intentions on putting one of those monstrous overlanding racks atop my Disco, I do carry kayaks, masts, rowboats, and the like. Being able to safely put them on the roof without worry was worth the price of admission
