I like that roof rack too. How is the tire being held in there? I hope I finish mine too one of these days.

Looks good, and the front angle is perfect to mount a wind fairing.
Not sure if it makes a difference, but for structural reasons I place gutter mounts directly above B-pillar, C-pillar, and rear mount as far back as possible, avoiding the center area of cargo glass. Rack weighs 65 pounds empty.

Cool thanks. I'm wanting to do something like that but without the side rails. Just a flat platform.

That's awesome. Is it plug and play (or at least to some degree) if you have an 89 limited without the console but the keyless entry receiver?
