Roof rack mounts
Would any of you with an SD, Voyager or similar roof rack mind taking a few pictures of the mounts froma couple of different angles and posting them online? I'm about to start working on building my own roof rack and need to see some up-close shots. I have an idea how I want my mounts to work, but I'd like to see the existing ones first.
Thanks.

I will take pics tonight when I get home. I always hear that the SD's have the best mounting setup. Since they attach to the rain gutter, they tend to chew them up. Mine don't look too bad after the install, but we'll see in a few months. It's a once on it stays on kinda deal.

On that note, sort of........Is anyone out there using Thule roof racks. I'm looking at the highrise gutter mounts and am curious if they really clear the roofline. I currently have Yakimas with the tower risers, but they make contact with the roof if spread them more than about 22" apart, so they are fairly useless.

Yup, I took off my Thule 953 feet and crossbars when I got the SD rack. There's about 2.75" of clearance from the center of the roof to the bottom of the crossbar. I don't know how much shipping is, but I'm trying to sell mine for $100.

Thanks D2G and XD.
Those are a little different from what I had planned, but gave me a couple more ideas. I'll report back and post pictures once I've started fabricating (could be a few weeks).
As for the Yakima/Thule question, I have the Yakima raingutter towers with high-rise extensions and yeah, they rub right against the body.
