Can anyone advise if a stell cage fixed point roof rack off a GQ will fit on a GU?
Thanks

John, Brew69 and Luke are all wrong. in fact the gutter widths on the GQ are an average 1365mm wide compared to the GU at an average of 1313 wide. Your rack still won't fit though as there's about a 50mm difference.
The rack heights are different too as the distance from the roof to the gutter on a GQ is 105mm compared to the GU at 71mm.

Thanks for that - theres a 2nd hand rack off a GQ on ebay which I was kind of hoping might fit - but will have to keep looking.

I recently bought an ARB roof rack for my GQ from a guy that had it fitted to his GU
and I had to adjust the feet out considerably to get it to fit.They use the same rack for the 80,60,GU and GQ patrol.
