this is built all out of 3/4. It is 7" tall 45 wide and 60" long... I was wondering if the 7" tall looks to tall?? Anybody with there .02?

Want to make sure before i paint it..

 

Does it fit in the garage at 7"? If so then I say leave it, if not then I would cut off the minimum that it takes so I can park it in the garage.

 

7" is too tall for me. But it all on what u r loading up there. I would use it for abit and see how u like it.

 

What do you think would be a good height?? i can cut down the plates.

 

i like them low so id say 4-5 but thats when their mounted on gutters it keeps them alot lower and i think it looks cleaner but if its yousfull who cares

 

I think its too tall but that's my taste. Doesn't have to be yours

 

Thanks.. Just looking for ideas.. I thought it was 2 tall... What do most run? In terms on height?

 

This is mine at 5" , just to give you the idea and you can compare.

 

7" is way too tall for my taste, but then again i wouldn't have used EMT either so to each their own. just my .02

i say drop it down to round 4 or 5" and it'll look a ton better.

 

This roof rack is nice in person!

 

Depends on what terrain your going through. If their is alot of brush I'd say drop it. Otherwise leave it.

 

Here's mine about about 6"

 

id say it looks a little tall but it may be useful if your really gonna load it up with stuff. try it out before you go and cut it.

 

I like it. Mine sits right about 7, and it can actually hold stiff without fear of it falling out. I knew mine would be taller than average, but it suits my needs and wants perfectly, and i am happy with it (although yours looks much more well put together...)

 

I had been reading, & had thought about 8" if I do one, I have had roof racks on numerous VW bugs, & Busses, & always hated the short height, especially if you load something too top heavy, I figure a taller side would help a little.
