I have a question guys, does anyone have any experience with Surco roof racks (the kind Atlantic British sells). I am thinking about getting one of the 50'x50' ones but want know if anyone has any thoughts about them first. If anyone knows anything I am really interested in how sturdy they are. This looks like it might be a good rack for me because Im really not a big fan of the full lenght racks, of course I will order it from somewhere cheapter than AB. Any thoughts will be appreciated.

Carter - I want to see pics of it on your Disco if you get it. I was thinking of getting one too. I think it might look good with the roofline. |

Hey guys, I have one and have put a ton on it. I wanted the full length but at the time didn't feel like forking out the $$$$ for it. I have hauled wood pvc and anything else you can think of. I'll send you pics. Ken |

Blake Luse has some pics of one in his gallery but he has it moved up towards the middle of the roof. I plan on getting mine here: http://www.accessconnect.com/safari.htm $302.85 with mounts (free shipping too, AB charges a ton to ship them). Thanks for the pics Ken |

Bill Leek has the Surco half-rack on his truck in the photo gallery. Another guy here in KC has the full Surco and it is pretty sturdy. |

I haven't seen one on a Disco so I don't know about looks, however for function- I've got two buddies who have Surco racks. One's on a Cherokee and two are on an F-350. They both love 'em and I've seen way more weight than is reasonable on both. Built well. |

Here's my Surco....
I added the mesh floor. It's very strong and high enought that boths sunroofs can be opened without hitting the rack. |
