Roof Racks - any good ones

Get a PrinSu

 

I'll spend a lot is money on tires, wheels, and lift. Not that much for a roof rack.

 

He said earlier an Inno medium size fairing. I was curious too and found this.

 

Depends on what you use it for , the OEM one isn't that useful

 

Not completely. I agree PrInSu is a very good rack and gave it much consideration. But ended up going with the Front Runner Outfitters Rack. It is well made with no wind noise and a unbelievable amount of options.

​

 

Inno makes 3 universal-fit fairings. With an inside measurement, between the oem rails, of 42 1/2" and an outside measurement of 48 1/2", it appears either the medium or large sizes would work---->

I see you still have the rubber strips in the channels....did you just drill holes through to align with the factory threaded holes?

Yes. You have to remove the strips and cut out the underside of where the mounting points are then punch a 22mm hole that lines up with the factory mounting points. The instructions are very easy and detailed. Took maybe an hour from start to finish. I can not emphasize enough how nice and functional this rack is. Check out all the accessories on their site. The mounting instructions are there as well.

 

Great....thank you!

 

How tall is it off the roof at the satellite antennae ?

 

The list of rack accessories is pretty impressive, makes me want to get the rack just for the stuff I can add to it, ha .

You by chance ever carry surf rods on it with the holder they sell?

X2 on the Front Runner, I can't say enough good things about mine. So many accessories....

 

PrInSu

 

No problem brother

About 1mm literally. When I installed it I was worried it would block my XM signal but it had no effect at all. Still works perfectly which is good because I abuse the shit out of XM

No but I'm going to get the Hi Lift Jack mount after my sliders and bumper come in and the kayak mount for my Dagger 10.5.

That one was on my short list also. Very good rack.

 

I mean measured from the roof to the top of the rack at the satellite receiver location , how high is it to the top of the rack ?

I'm guessing approx 4"

 

Oh... sorry. Exactly 3" from the top of the antenna to the top of the rack.

 

Prinsu. Front runners are nice but very pricy
