Roof rack that can be removed without problems

Does anyone make them?

My problem, I would love a rack for the benefits of storage while on the trail. But I work in the downtown core and often park underground where its already hard to find places I can fit, losing 2-3inchs on height will mean a few of said places are gone.
From what I understand with most racks once you install them you kind of need to leave them installed, if you remove them you run the risk of leaks.

I'm obviously going with a bed rack as well but would really love the roof rack too.
I know I could obviously get the thule or yakima type roof racks that mount to the door jam by clamp but those can't really support much.
Really I'd love a frontrunner rack but doubt that's possible.

 

Maybe look into the OEM roof rack. They are about the same height as the antenna fin on your truck so if your antenna is ok the rack should be fine. The cross bars on the OEM rack fold up when not in use, but not sure if that would make a difference where you are parking.

 

That may be ok but still similar problem to the Thule one. Just not much weight capacity

 

Yup limited to only 100 lbs. I figure you can put the light/bulky stuff there (like sleeping bags).

 

That may work along with one of those basket things. May be an option.

Really wish there was a way to remove the front runner with no issues

 

I'm guessing that any relatively sturdy rack (including the OEM one) would need to be somehow screwed or bolted onto the roof. I'd be worried about stripping a screw/bolt with constantly removing them. They have some strap or clamp on racks but I personally wouldn't trust any cargo with those.

 

This looks like it may be an option for you:

Removable cross bars with 220lb load limit according to the OP in that thread. Pictures 7 and 8 show it with the bars removed.

 

i did this before the rhino ditch mount tracks came out.so i just tapped into factory holes and permanently installed thule landing pads.
but if u have $200 do the rhino ditch tracks

 

That rhino one might work with a basket attachment. Gives me options for tire and other gear

 

The new dissent offroad aluminum rack is only 1/2" higher than the shark fin, you can also remove the entire rack in a matter of minutes but leave the brackets bolted to the roof, this way your not messing with the seal and the brackets on the roof are below the shark fin.

 

Bro...
Price? Info on mounting etc?
website doesn't have anything on it

 

Get a Prinsu and pull the 10 bolts, remove the rack and reinsert the bolts with a rubber washer no lost clearance

 

I'm not as crazy about the prinsu as the frontrunner, and that wouldn't be as fast nor as reliable as leaving something installed

 

Same

 

just curious on the top anyone know of a track similar to the one in front runner racks you can buy?
I'm almost thinking having some on my bed rack will also come in handy mounting stuff on top.

 

We're can I buy this and how much wiegt can it support?

 

I'm 250lb and it supported me @Dissent86

These are lightweight aluminum and very low profile. Also very strong .

 

Because I want use hard rtt plus my weight and sleeping buddy. Will it handle this much weight?around

 

120 pounds for rtt
160 pounds for me
115-200 other people
So can it handle around 500 pounds max?

 

Also in cali but what area is Ben located at and dose he take card?
