  • The lowest flatest roof rack

    Looking at adding a flat roof rack in the future but due to garage heights etc we need it as low as possible. I.e. no higher than the current roof rails.

    Has anyone made a rack that site between the OEM rails or only sits that high with custom rails.
    I notice there are some brands out there with low rails but they don't seem to make a model for the 120.

    Wish list in order I'll get them: Sliders, 2" lift, E-locker, Winch bar with winch.

      On my old 120 I made a single cross bar to fit between the rails to hold the maxtrax. No reason why you couldn't knock up a pair or even full frame to fit between. Note though that the rails are not parallel!

      Some shots of my DIY project:

      This set-up wont be a strong as a traditional cross bar though as the bolts sit in the roof rail channel section...
      Cheers

          i have the older version of these (no key lock) and i think they're lower without the security. not much but every 15mm helps in life yeah?

            Not sure what the width is between the north-south roof rails but you could try fitting this Pioneer Platform in between it with custom brackets. It measures 928x1426mm

                That's pretty low. Does the Rhino rack attach to cross rails or directly to the 3 supports either side? Something without rails would make it low.

                  The lowest you can get is to use Pioneer platform and replace the factory roof rail with pioneer feet, which go directly to platform

                      I made custom legs for my BIL to get the platform even lower so he can get into his garage.

                        I posted all my info on my simple cross bars using the existing rail system and what I would do different in the future.
