Title says it all:

New jeep owner - I am taking off the rack to sand, primer and paint.

Is this the best way to mount this rack? Thanks in advance.

probably not. I would try to find some gutter mounts. Those are usually the best way to do it.

Thanks man, I appreciate it. I googled gutter mounts and that really seems the way to go.

Now I'm wondering if the rack that is on it it too wide. It extends about 3-4 inches on each side of the jeep roof. Thanks for looking at it.
