I'm posting to see what options are out there before funding and fabricating my own roof rack system. Looking for a Roof Rack system for 2 Dr that ties into rear bumper just behind rear OEM flares outer side of each tail light as well as before & Aft the driver and passenger door and connect to rock slider. Front follow windshield pillar. I haven't purchased my rear bumper yet but know it will be a Expedition 1 or LOD. Both have flat tops and will work but probably differ in height hopeful at best only by a 1/4 which i'm thinking is the case as most cover tub flange that even a 1" body lift exposes so I believe should be fine there.

I all so have a separate post on rock sliders that will be part of this system but am tackling this in pieces to make it more manageable. Like many bumper manufactures I'm hoping that if I find one that it too can be shipped raw and have no desire to remove coatings of any kind other than primer. I require that the roof rack system does not mount to the roof or body and be 1 man removable. Tall order I know : ) I have come up with a clam shell design where right and left are separate and come together to be secured. Materials can be steel / aluminum / kevlar carbon composite and or a combination of all. Please share pic if anyone has or knows of a manufacture that has such a product. If this post doesn't yield the results I'm hoping for will fabricate early next week. I will post progress and share end results. Thanks!

 

Get a Gobi rack. There the best. Just got back from a 3500 mile trip with mine. It is rock solid. Dave @ Alpha Expeditions is the best to deal with on these.
