Alright, this has been bugging me for sometime now. Virtually everytime I wheel my rig, I end up with some sort of roof rack issue. (last time was at Camp Jeep and the whole damn thing got ripped of by a tree I was fighting with, yep that was me on trail #2 Saturday if you were there). I also hear again and again about how the added weight at my lift height and tire size is "bad," off-camber and I guess never wanted to believe that b/cI liked the look of the rack and the convenience of having the spare, hi-lift, etc. out of sight and mind. Now, I am at 6" on 33 - 12.50's. The rack "was" a kargomaster steel with gutter mounts. I live and wheel in VA and we have lots of trees amongst the rocks, or rocks amongst the trees....I am thinking I am better off with a tiny, skinny rack u-bolted to the factory rails for a cargo only (off the trail) and maybe tools like a shovel, saw, lug wrench and some lighting for on the trail. Do all you who have these big racks with tires and the kitchen sink up there get off camber in the woods. I can't see (hindsight 20/20 here) how its even an option for wheeling in the places available to me. Thoughts?
