I set a level across my rack (on a 2018 ORP). The top surface of the rack is about 1/4 inch higher than the fin.

Since I wanted to keep the silver color I rattle can sprayed them with a gloss clear coat. I used Krylon Color Maxx, but any good indoor/outdoor spray paint would work. The brackets have a fine wire brushed swirl pattern on them, so all you really need to do is get them real clean before spraying. I used isopropyl alcohol to wipe off any remaining oxidation and oils. Then let the paint cure for a day or two before installing them.

Thanks for the measurement. Seems maybe a little too close for comfort if you need to have something extend off the rack over it.

Thanks for the paint info as well.

You could always put a 1/4 or 1/2 inch strip of wood on top of that last crossbar, then lash down your load, to give you more room above the fin.

Thanks for highlighting that as a concern. I actually thought of that because I don’t own a truck and I do a lot of projects. When I do haul wood it’s mostly lumber and I have a tendency to strap it on one side or the other and not the middle.

Also, to deflect the bar enough to touch the fin with what you are carrying it would have to be very heavy. I stood on one of the bars and it deflected just a bit. I weigh around 270.

As Electoboy mention, you could always put a board under the load to increase the height.

Edit...

Can you believe that we have ANOTHER hurricane heading this way? This is ridiculous

This design looks awesome and seems to be the perfect solution for my needs, however, I am wondering if I would be able to fit accessories made by Thule, RhinoRack, etc? I love the features this provides but need to be able to transport snowboards/skis in the winter. Sorry if I missed any information on this earlier in the thread. Thanks!

This uses a standard 8020 crossbar as all of the other commercial racks. If it will fit on any of the others it will fit on this one assuming there is enough length in the rack from front to back.

Great product! I’m about to pull the trigger by any chance will you be running a Black Friday sale? Thanks.

Put mine on today. I painted the brackets/hardware with Rustoleum gloss. I can’t wait to use it

Looks like the ex-1030 in black are out of stock on Tnutz, do you know another site where to buy them?

Try looking into 8020.
Maybe this:

Thanks... we just got power back yesterday and our internet is still out. Other than that we didn't take any damage to speak of.

Heads up, that might delay orders a few days.

Just wanted to post that I've got two sets left ready to be shipped. After those two there may be a bit of a delay. I'm trying to sell my house and get to a place where I can expand a bit on this venture and other things. This means that I can't have a manufacturing facility set up in my home. I've got everything packed up. I'm still moving forward and will continue to sell and support but there may be a delay in the near future.

Also, sometimes in life you are in a position where God or the universe or karma or whatever you believe starts dropping little hints that you need a change in your life. I was planning on selling my house after the 5 or so hurricanes and random interesting things that happened in my neighborhood. I think yesterday sealed the deal and the message has been sent loud and clear.

This is from my security camera. Yes that is my silver Scion Xb.

Man I blasted through this thread this morning and placed an order after your post. I can definitely relate to your situation. Hurricane season, among other things, in Houston and NOLA is real constant threat.
Good luck on your future plans and hope it works out well.
edit: Also that vid is wild!!
