Couldn't see spending those high dollars...went the alternative route. Pretty pleased with quality....guess we'll see if it stands the test of time. Got everything dialed in...to wet to paint/dip...so I'll hit the bars this weekend hopefully. Cross Bars: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00HWI9X7E/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 Rack: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B004R34HDC/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s01?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Same rack on minus the bars, I went with whisper bar knockoffs! Looks good man. Did you plasti dip the wheels?
Yea man...rushed'em...finished them up with electric lights...went out the next morning to see all the spots I missed Going to hit them again. If you have mysky, can you open it with those bars? I ordered some more today...a Lil shorter...
I haven't even tried...but I'm pretty dang sure it should be fine. I mounted everything to make sure it "worked", but I ordered shorter bars yesterday, so I haven't done anything else. If it takes higher than what I currently have to open mysky my basket will be in space.
Ok, new bars came in yesterday. They are shorter than the others, 47" vs 53" I believe. https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00GA2HKAU/ref=yo_ii_img?ie=UTF8&psc=1 Sized them up, then dipped them. I'll have to say that the quality of these bars do not seem as good as the previous ones, but they should work just fine for me. Plenty of room for mysky. If I measured correctly need about 2.5" to clear, these bars and basket give me around 3".
Great looking setups! Our renegade is currently at the dealer having the Mysky tops replaced and dent fixed (in dealers dime because they suck at life). Definitely thinking a sweet rack set up like this is in our future!
TxToaster, How is the wind noise with the roof rack installed? I have MySky panels and am interested in seeing how loud it gets with the rack installed. I currently have some Yakima roundbars installed on my renegade, with the Yakima Windshield Fairing. Before installing the Windshield Fairing the whistling and wind noise introduced by the roundbars was pretty loud/annoying from 40 mph and up. With the Windshield, there is just a low amount of wind noise (no loud whistling) from 50 mph and up (to be expected).
