View Full Version : Question about something I saw on a Range Rover Nitrous SSC 09-12-2003, 04:06 PM I saw a Range Rover today and I can't figure out what was on it... The roof rack was connected to the front grille guard by steel cables with tensioners on them....what exactly are they for? dumb question I know....but i can't figure it out jimbo74 09-12-2003, 04:15 PM i have seen setups like that where a canoe or something large and bulky is on top and needs reinforcement.... 410Fortune 09-12-2003, 04:49 PM i belive this is part of the Hella roof top light system for those trucks, they fold down........ I could be wrong. :) bndrulez 09-12-2003, 04:54 PM I've seen a Bronco with that kind of set up, and it carries a canoe all the time, except the Bronco has tow straps.

Hokie 09-12-2003, 05:11 PM One guy I know built a bumper for his XJ like that... he said people put those there to keep branches from hitting the truck as you drive by. Robb 09-12-2003, 05:12 PM They are there to protect the windshield from tree branches and such. edit: yea, like Hokie just said:D Nitrous SSC 09-12-2003, 05:32 PM I kinda figured maybe they were to keep branches from hitting the truck....ok thanks guys... Digger196 09-12-2003, 05:45 PM cool idea. might have to try that. RobertF 09-12-2003, 06:29 PM I wonder if that Range Rover will every see a trail where they might be used.... Nitrous SSC 09-13-2003, 12:57 AM When I do see it around town its either really clean and all prissed out or really damn muddy!....so its definatly someone that likes to play... |
