Default Low Profile Cross Bars

Anyone running cross bars other than the LR OEM ones? Would like to find a set of black low profile ones as garage height is an issue for me. Thanks!

Rhino-Rack. I will measure later but lowest profile I could find and very quiet. Could not be more pleased.

This is what I bought: https://www.rackoutfitters.com/rhino...ed-side-rails/

It is part number JA6418 - this includes legs and 54" black bars. Even includes the locks.

Off right now. Will put on this week and post pics. I did measure on the bars from where they rest on the top of the roof rails to the top of the aero bar. It is aprrox 3.5" above the roof rails. I placed them where the factory bars would go and there is no interference with sun roof. These do NOT have a pin that goes in the hole on the factory roof rails - I think the OEM ones have a pin that goes in the hole..

Do you get any whistling noise when driving? The OEM ones were so loud I had to take them off.

Put the bars on and drove in at 55mph this morning. Even vented the sunroof. No whistling and no discernible wind noise until I opened the sunroof. If I remember correctly, there was some noise at over 70 mph. This is all from the driver's seat perspective.

I found a set on ebay that look exactly like the OEM ones. Made an offer of $160 and they were mine.

Scheduled to arrive tomorrow. I'll let you know how they fit.

Looking at the pictures - it is a horrible fit. Barely any contact with the roof rails. I would not trust 150lbs of my kayaks with the rack. I will put up pics of the Rhino's here in a few minutes.
