I'm looking at buying a roof rack for luggage and camping gear. I'm wanting one that bolts to the drip rail that I can takeoff. Any suggestions?

I'm looking at the WH Smittybilt or ARB rack along with a Thule or Yakima Rack.

Thanks

I've used Thule going on 20+ years now and STILL have many of my original attachments and crossbars. They may be expensive, but there are attachments for anything you would want to carry and they last forever.

^^ love that rack! If i get around to another Bronco Bldr release, I'll have to add a roof rack like this. Super sweet.

Damn that two tone bronco is amazing. ��

Which size is that?

It's the right fit on a Bronco.

Honestly, I don't remember. I think I bought that thing in 98" or 99", but give them a call and tell them what you're looking for and I'm sure they'd be able to help.

Thanks again for the compliments all! I appreciate it although its an old image. She looks a little different now (taller with a lot less chrome and no rack).

Waking up an old thread here.
I received the new Toms Bronco catalog in the mail the other day and noticed that they appear to be coming out with a new roof rack. Looks kinda like the DiamondRax one. I dont see anything on their website yet but could be an option in the future.

A pair of Yakima load bars with their rain gutter mounts can generally be had for cheap on craigslist. Then you can put whatever you want on top.

In your case I'd buy a large rooftop cargo box.

Then you have an inexpensive, practical locking system that doesn't require much time or thought and can easily be removed by one person.

It's not the coolest solution, but it is practical.

How did you get that rack onto the roll bar!?
I have a spare set of load bars and would love to get them on my roofless bronco (already have a rack on the hard top)

The factory Land Rover roof rack for a 95-2002 p38 Range Rover. You will need a set of universal roof rack mounts for a drip rail mount system.

The pics were small for CCB but still bigger than CB allows.
(Not my Bronco but I like that rack too)

I bought the Yakima gutter mount towers and added the round cross bars. You can add a basket, kayak racks, etc.
