Apologies for not updating our blog recently, with containers of tents arriving its been all hands on deck. I will upload further blog posts over the coming dates to show you a few of the things we have been up to (in no chronological order, I'm afraid). 

Here's a Darche Hi-View 1400 Roof Tent and Front Runner Slimline II 3/4 Roof Rack for a Land Rover Discovery 3 that we have fitted today. 

The Front Runner Slimline II Roof Rack is a quick to build and easy to install roof rack. We removed the factory rails that were already attached to the vehicle and then installed loosely on to the roof the legs/feet of the roof rack. There was no drilling required to install this roof rack to this Land Rover Discovery 3. The tray of the rack was then installed on top. Using M8 bolts the rack slots together nice and easy ready to be tightened up. 

Using the Front Runner Easy Out Awning Brackets the customer also had a Darche Eclipse 2m Awning installed on the passenger side of the roof rack. Although slightly longer than the roof rack installed, the 2m Eclipse awning is perfect size for the Land Rover Discovery 3. 

On top of the rack we installed a Darche Hi-View 1400 Roof Tent using the Tall Tent Mount Kit by Front Runner. We used the taller of the two tent mounting kits due to the awning. If we were to use the smaller version the mounting kit the Tent we would have had to of been installed either to one side of the rack or the awning would have had to of been relocated lower down. By using the taller kit, the tent sat above the awning, meaning it could be located in the centre of the rack for the tent opening over the rear of the vehicle.
