Why does this rack look wrong

[Adventure IQ]

Ok...I may be overthinking this.....but the rack I put on....just looks wrong...
I got it on cl for $200.... Maybe too tall? Will post addl pics...but need feedback on modification, etc....

Looks alright, I guess. No more fold-down windshield, although I've never seen anyone actually use that feature. What sort of stuff are you going to be hauling up there?

Its the large radius bends. Doesn't fit the lines of the roof.

Gives a completely unobstructed view of the trail in technical sections, and is just plain fun on a warm day.

Ok...that is probably it....thanks...gives me a place to start....

Looks goofy, but you got it to use not to look at, right?

Its not touching the top in the middle is it? Be careful if it is or you'll end up buying a 6 or 700 dollar top to add to the savings. :O

I see the problem. Your Jeep is Brown and the rack is Black. Thats the problem.... Just to add some humor to the day. Looks like a good rack as long as your soft top doesn't rub on it; and you are able to remove the top if needed.

True....but there was just something upsetting my OCD....

Not touching the middle...good clearance....its the edges....

my guess is that it is made to span a hard top.

Have you thought about getting a hard top and modifing it so that it would have soft sides. I had a soft top on my Scrambler for number of years and went back to my hard top becuase the dopler effect of the soft top drove me nuts. Now i have the hard top with the rear window removed and the pop top covering the bed. I drive it most of the year with the doors off and it feels very open, but can be "buttoned up" for bad weather.

Would love to see pics of that....want hard top....just hard to find one affordable.....

Yep...the pink was really contrasting....

Oh, I'm sure it's great. I'm just saying I've never seen that feature in use. There are a LOT of Wranglers around here and to even see one with the hardtop off is rare.
