    ARB roof rack height??

    Hi guys,

    Just brought a full length ARB roof rack, but it had no mount so I have ended up with mounts of a troopy, the only issue is they sit a lot taller, I was just wondering how high u guys run your roof rack before I start cutting n modifying the mounts!

    Cheers

    Give it a good 2"/50 clearance from top of the roof, should be heaps, maybe up to 60mm
    you'll see what looks right. not too high or low so it'll flex. IMO

    Just had a measure from the roof to the bottom of the rack. Mine sits 80 mm - 90 mm off the roof and little higher at the front due to the slope of the roof. I assume my mounts are genuine ARB as the GU came with the rack fitted. Cheers.
