'Roof Box Spacer Kit' for Expedition Roof Rack (2020-24 version)
for Land Rover Defender L663
This listing is for a spacer kit for the Land Rover Defender L663 the 'Expedition' roof rack.
Note: These spacers will only work with roof racks from 2020-24 as there was an updated version released in 2025 and the ends of the bars changed (see photo).
See our part number LRDR502 for the 2025 version of this kit.
This kit will 'lift' 2 of the cross bars which allow you to fit a Thule (or Thule style) roof box to your expedition roof rack.
These work by removing the retaining bolts from the ends of the cross bars - fitting our spacer blocks - then secure bar into place with the supplied longer bolts.
The Thule roof box has 2 recesses which usually sit onto 2 cross bars - however this is not possible on the roof rack due to the number of cross bars (all at the same level).
The kit includes:
- 2x pairs of cross bar spacers
- 4x stainless steel bolts for securing the spacers
- 4x spare stainless steel bolts - these are spares for re-fitting your cross bars to the original position if needed
- 1x Torx bit
The blocks are now injection moulded ABS plastic.
This kit is shaped to fit the Thule manufactured Expedition roof rack which is sold by Land Rover as an accessory for the Defender.

This is not a genuine Land Rover item.
