My H20 Custom Roof Rack...
 

...just arrived. Wow. Neil Dana's work is great.

After seeing the first pictures of his H2 racks in November I contacted him about making me a low profile version. After he got done with Bebe's H3 project, he redesigned a few parts of the rack to reduce the height a little and to extend the cross braces over the sunroof area since I don't have one. It was a long wait, but it finally arrived today. Here is is fresh out of the box.


This is a picture Neil sent me from test fitting it on his 2.



I'll post mounted pictures soon, once I find some time.

Now Neil can get to work on CO's stuff ;)

Will he produce more and at what price? Or is this a one time kind of thing?

Re: My H20 Custom Roof Rack...
 

Looks nice. Hurry up and get that thing installed and post some pics. :D

Re: My H20 Custom Roof Rack...
 

I don't know if he'll make more like this or not. You can PM him (H2Oguy) to see what he's willing to do.

Re: My H20 Custom Roof Rack...
 

Twas a busy weekend. It's still not on :(:mad: Very soon.

Re: My H20 Custom Roof Rack...
 

Cool mod ! I just ordered the Gobi roof rack / tire carrier !
Hope to see it installed soon !

Re: My H20 Custom Roof Rack...
 

Uh, your garage isn't painted. Soooooo ghetto.;)

You guys that know Neil need get him to install some expanded metal on the rack so you can walk around easier and safer up there.

Re: My H20 Custom Roof Rack...
 

I know. Our last place was. We paid good money to be on a nice lake and build a big place. We skimped here and there on things we could easily do later.:crying:In due time.

Re: My H20 Custom Roof Rack...
 

It's on. But it was late and dark when I finished. Real pictures tomorrow.

Nice ! Are you gonna add some lights ?

Re: My H20 Custom Roof Rack...
 

Neil has some metal plates to put in strategic locations. The entire rack is tapped for mounting these or anything else you want to bolt down. I think he wanted to keep the weight down by not including a mesh decking. But it certainly could be added.

Re: My H20 Custom Roof Rack...
 

I like an unpainted garage, it's manly. And you need all the manly you can get to make up for those mittens.;):D j/k

It looks great Ree. Congrats.:beerchug:

Re: My H20 Custom Roof Rack...
 

IMO adding the mesh to walk on is very important. I'm up walking around on my GOBI all the time. Sometimes I take it to the Beach and even do some naked Tai Chi up there :jump:

Re: My H20 Custom Roof Rack...
 

Those mittens are awesomely warm. Circulation in my fingers isn't that good and it's cold here in the winter.

Same as last one but on a better camera:

Closeup of mounting tabs (z-clips Neil calls them). 3 bolts into a "nut plate" in the rails. 2 bolts holding the rack and the z-clips together. The clips and nut plates are tapped so there's no need for loose nuts or a second wrench. Makes for an easy install:

The wind fairing is machined with 7 light mounting points along the bottom of the fairing and 7 along the top:

Up on a snow bank a bit to get a glimpse up on the roof. The snow was too squishy to get really far up.

Re: My H20 Custom Roof Rack...
 

frenzy, I plan to do some lights at some point. I'm undecided on what kind yet and probably will only do 2 or 3 along the bottom level of the wind fairing.
