DIY Low-profile Crossbars

[guruerror]

I wasn't thinking of building the rack out of DOM...sorry for the confusion. I was looking at two different options that would meet my 'low profile' requirements.

1. Pipe/tube crossbars that just barely clear the hump in the middle of the roof, OR
2. A barebones flat rack with no side rails.

In looking closely at some pics of the Gobi Stealth racks I actually think this might be easily converted as MUD mentioned and I could easily tweak the mounts to lower it closer to the roof if space allowed. The Stealth version seems to have removable supports along the side and appears to only need cutting in the front and rear to remove the side rail.

Hmmmm...wheels turning.

EDIT: ...or maybe they're not removable...can someone with a Gobi Stealth rack confirm whether these side braces are welded in place? They look different than they do on other Gobi racks and just want to confirm before I pull the trigger on anything.
