Have you considered mounting the Baroud RTT on rails rather than incurring the weight of a full rack?
That's another option, more economical, but doesn't give you the vesatilty of a roof rack, gear needs to be carried, firewood...I´d always go for a full rack, when possible..much neater and cleaner inside the vehicle when you can just toss mucky or other stuff on the roof. Aaanyhow, all suitable bars in EU for 4x4´s come from either PreAlpina in Italy or Atera in Germany, with different brand stickers on them...or from China of course, but that's another story...
Lastenträger für Gewerbe | ATERA
Atera Signo + Works are load carriers complete sets and pairs of support legs with adapted support bars, which allow a wide range of assembly options. The combination with the Atera carrier attachments offers craftsmen a professional support for the transport of bulky/long goods and tools.

Don't be mislead by their online presence: On Ateras its not obvious that three/two different length legs are available for the Works and the Works XL..a bar s rated at 150kgs btw, qualitée solide. PreAlpina´s site is very Italian..bella figure but not much substance. Their bars are good though, just the powder coat is superior on the German bars. Both could do with a slight improvement on fittings, you can sort that yourself or have a mechanic do that for you. Beware of dealers with the cheapest offers on Atera - they include a weaker crossmember w a shorter slot underneath, totally unsuitable.
Best is to find the distributor in your country, they are usually able to sort out the confusion created by the website..
