Safety Devices + FrontRunner roof rack heights
Hi all,

Does anybody have a safety devices 110 expedition roof rack or a Front Runner that they could measure the height of? Ideally drom either gutter or roof up.

I'm trying to decide on the best one for my needs when I get round to buying one and height is a large consideration.
That said, I'm not a huge fan of roof rails, and they wouldn't be suited to the gear I could use on top.

Many thanks one and all Thumbs Up

Just for your info, Flatdog are making a very very nice roof rack, that looks amazingly similar to the Frontrunner.

It also has a removable rear rail, so would be lower than the FR.

Ah, yes I'd forgotten about the FlatDog (always used to think they were frontRunner and vice versa). I think the FR rack also has detachable side rails too, but as you say the Flat Dog one may be lower still!
Cheers for the heads up Andy Thumbs Up

Anyone have a FlatDog rack by any chance? (Feel like I'm getting cheekier all the time by asking :/)

The frontrunner rail is not removable. It's welded.

FlatDog were suppliers of FrontRunner, but then Frontrunner decided to no longer supply FlatDog, so they designed their own. It's very nice, and I'm getting rid of my FrontRunner, to buy a FlatDog Thumbs Up

Looks nice Thumbs Up
You wouldn't be able to measure the height at the back above the gutter if you have a spare minute would you?
Thank you Smile

^ thought so, same as the Frontrunner.

BTW, the Frontrunner Expedition has a toprail at the back (not removable), the Frontrunner Slimline does not have a toprail. Cheers, Vincent

Sorry to add to an old post. But does anybody know the overall height of a standard xs 90 with a flatdog roof rax? If possible with and without the rear rails.
