Roof Rack Mounting Option.

Mission complete!

After removing my Hi-lift to the garage ( where it belongs) I modified my Dominion Off-road mounts to support the Rhino rack. I replaced the Hi-lift with a 12 ton bottle jack. I used 1" hard rubber blocks to raise the rack off the top and attached with 3/8"x 1-1/2" ss bolts. For the front mounts, I used 1/4" plate for reinforcement inside. Instead of bolting to the roll bar, I made bump stops that attach to the roll bar and press against the front reinforcement plates above the sound bar. I forgot to take a pic of the bumps before I put the sound bar back up. To remove the hard top with the rack attached, just remove the four cross bolts on the rear mounts along with the eight factory bolts and lift. The rack and mount are solid, ready for a late summer camping trip!

Looks great! That's the rack I'm eyeballing and I really like your mounting option, I want it to sit as low as it can and i think you've accomplished that.
