What I did to my Expo Jeep Today
It was finally warmer today, if you can call 29* warm. I have a trip coming up that will require carrying some extra fuel cans. In warmer weather I usually have my Roof Top Tent mounted to my heavy duty RRO roof rack and had thought about making an extension out the front for fuel or other gear. I got the idea one day when I was moving my hitch mount rack out of the way in the garage for the 100th time. If I added some full length supports across the bottoms of the cross bars (not to interfere with the RTT mounts) they could support the rack.
I had to remove my cross bars.
I attached the unistrut using heavy duty hardware.
The rack was mounted to the extended unistrut , and if I ever need that damn hitch rack again I still can...
I still need to trim off some bolts, especially above the sunroof, but I think it looks pretty good.
