Does anybody make a roof rack that doesn't stand six feet above the roof... and look like it doesn't belong there? Surely someone makes one where the brackets keep it 1/2 to 3/4 inch above the stock rack tracks.
I want a roof rack.....come springtime it'll be more of a need...
But I hate the way the ones I've seen stand up there like the torch on the statue of liberty......any suggestions?
Thanks...Scott

 

x1....I also dislike those roof racks that sit tall...Im looking for the same thing your looking for.

 

Have you guys looked into Surco? They make racks that mount up pretty close to the roof for reasonable prices. Or do you want it even closer than that. I have one on my Cherokee and love it! http://www.surcoinc.com/

 

I like this one. www.jcroffroad.com $299

 

im actually in the middle of making 2 racks right now out of 1" aluminum tubing, overall its only gonna be about 5" high

 

WOW..Thanks you just found my roof rack.

 

heres the best pic i have of mine...its $150

 

where did you get yours? any more pics?

hey do you have an e30? i have 2, a 1991 5 speed white exterior blue interior vert and a white 1990 e30 m3.

 

check out the warrior products top hat, cos has one on his rig

 

EBay the black widow rack is 4" tall an 100 bucks. An diff sizes too.

 

I love this rack!! I'm going to go with this one as well

 

I have a Surco with the gutter mounts, as it is it will clear the factory roof rack bars with room to spare. I plan on taking it apart and trying to get it to sit as close to the roof as possible with out touching.

I may just sell the surco and build some custom deal, I don't know yet.

 

im diggin that low profile one. it's cheap too.

 

WOW..Thanks you just found my roof rack.[/QUOTE]

Glad i could help!!!

 

SURCO safari bolted straight down with Factory Racks removed..Go with the ones that mount to the gutters, They are much stronger. I had to go back and add supports to mine to prevent roof damage..
