Hello,

I spent the afternoon getting my Slim Line II rack mounted to my 110. Everything went great, but unfortunately the fancy under-rack table fouls on the dorsal antenna. I am wondering if anyone else has experienced this and found a workaround. I think I can mount it for side entry, but I'd rather have it mounted at the rear.

Thanks.

Myron

 

Good looking rack, I can't speak for the table clearance, but I am curious how tall that rack sits off the roof. I have some garage clearance issues and have about 5.5" before hit. Any chance you could measure how high it is above the antenna?

 

Happy to make a measurement for you tomorrow, @chpsk8

 

I believe you can also set it up to slide in form the sides. I am guessing that's what needs to be done for our cars? I remember when I was at FR they told me you could go in from the back of their rack or the sides.

 

Thanks for your reply, @inater ! Yes, this is what I ended up doing today. Unfortunately it means going without the center foot/mounting pod on the table side, but I don't think it really matters. The whole thing is totally rigid and strong and very well designed and manufactured. I will say, it's a chore and a half, though, to take it on and off. Up and down your ladder, loosening, tightening, adjusting. Rinse, repeat. I couldn't have done it by myself except for my Camper Crane 2000, the world's first residential, deployable, cantilever crane I designed earlier this winter. Today was its first legit use!

Driver's side supports my awning.

And to answer to @chpsk8 's question about total height, the Front Runner Slimline II Tray adds exactly 5.5" above the height of the roof (not the dorsal fin).

 

Thanks for the measurements! Man that's going to be squeaky tight in my garage unless I do some trim work.

It's a great rack, very sturdy and versatile.

 

amazing!
