| Post subject: | Roof Rack Question? |
Hi all, Does anyone know of a roof rack that will fit an 05 Renegade that doesn't sit on top of the roof bars? Ideally I would like to completely replace the stock roof bars with just a roof basket/rack. At the very least I would like a rack that tucks down between them to keep a low profile look. I don't like the look of the mopar basket sitting way up on top of the bars (not baggin on anyone who has that setup just my personal preference  )
Thanks in advance for any help or suggestions!! |

I am the same way, I never have liked a rack way in the air, so eventually it forced me to make my own mount, and put a megawarrior basket on top of that. Pics are on my cardomain, link in signiture, some where around page 7-8 if you want ideas. |

I am actually going to fab something up from PVC. I am not sure what diameter I'll use. I have to do this because I only have two more inches before it hits my garage door. So I was going to fab some PVC that sat on the roof, connected to my yakima system and only came above my yakima cross bars by about an inch. |

Here's a link with some good info about custom racks that attach where the stock rails go. |

Thanks for the info guys and gal. The one in the link you posted is exactly like what I want. It looks like the owner still had to do a lot of custom fab work for the mounts. |

Yep, they did still have some work to do. But they did end up with a sturdier rack and a lower height for their trouble. Are there any metal shops up there that might help you out? Or just keep your eye open for someon selling one. There was one a little while ago, I don't remember if he sold it or not. It was either in the sale or west section. I appreciate all of JJ's hard work that went into the rack that's now on my Jeep. Yeah JJ! |
