Can you post some more pics of your vehicle with the rack? It looks like you used additional cross rails to mount it?

[BDPJR]

Yes, but I've got weekend duty going on today. I'll post them by tomorrow. The rack came with everything except the KC lights I installed on the sides. The instructions look as if they had been translated a few times before finishing up in english, but anyone with some tool / installation knowledge can handle this. Two people make the job go quicker too.

doc, here's 4 pic's. the quality isn't the best so let me know if you want a certain angle.

Thanks, those are perfect. Does the rack require those crossbars as part of the support? would it be sturdy without them? ie. if it's mounted like the gobi is...

Interesting place for your license plate...

They are necessary otherwise you would have to find a way to mount it to the factory rails. I believe there's a slight arch in the roof which would keep you from mounting the rack flat. I have a sheet metal friend that was going to build a rack of the same dimensions, but there's so much custom work to do even with the factory rails that it wouldn't be cost effective. I think for the $600 it is a very sturdy, low profile rack. I also keep my 60" hi-lift jack, 37" spare and a 3' X 4' soft luggage/tool carrier up there. It works perectly for me and that's the million dollar question you have to ask yourself; how will I use this? Let me know if there's anything else I can answer for you.

Yeah, I like the new home my plate has. It's the law here in UT.
