Complete and utter noob here.

I am taking a car on a (very) long distance drive/rally to mongolia. I want to put a searchlight on the front roof and a luggage rack on the rear roof behind the sunroof.

What tools do I need and any advice and pointers? Car is a ford fiesta.

Get model specific roof bars to save fucking about with Heath Robinson anchoring systems, then clamp everything down onto them.

If you are clueless about how to mount these than you dont need to be going cross country in any car. Id hang out in the pits this year learn what you can and try again next year.

So much this. If you dont have the most basic knowledge like how to mount something on the car, how are you going to rebuild something critical if shit hits the fan in the middle of some fucking desert?

OP is a cool guy eh. He takes worst car possible through worst country on Earth and isn't afraid.

Op just duct tape the shit down. Trust me. Duct tape, WD 40 and a hammer (a big one) is all you will need for your grand adventure.

Don't listen to the haters.

Pic related. Its a Ford Fiesta.

You want a 4WD in Mongolia.

And in any third world country with somewhat unpredictable road conditions, for that matter.
