Pictures of Stuff on Baja Flat Rack? Hi-lift?

[Mick1]

Does anyone have pictures of "stuff" mounted on their Baja Flat Rack?

Anyone mounted a Hi-lift on it? Pictures? I don't see any mount options on their website.

How about rear spot lights? Anyone mounted them on the back of the rack?

I have seen the pictures of the rack at Baja website and found some of Harper's pics on the web, but none of them have stuff loaded on the rack.

I think the Flat Baja rack is the most aesthetically pleasing of the racks available. And I like that fact that it is not very tall. After lifting and a rack overall height is going to be tight in some garages. My current garage clearance is 79".

Can anyone tell me the height of the rack over the roof?

Gobi website is good about indicating the height of the rack, (7" over roof line in front), but I don't see the corresponding info on Baja website.

All the pictures of the rack I found on the web have mesh flooring, but the Baja website pics just have bars. Any advantage / disadvantage to either?

Thx

Find the off road thread I started and you will find photos of mine loaded up. I will measure the height for you tonight, but it is lower than stock rails.

Baja has a fuel can holder, axe/shovel mount, and HiLift mount for the flat utility rack. They aren't pictured on the website but I have all three. Haven't had a chance to mount them all yet so I don't have any pictures. If you email them they can send you pics of them.

Here's mine with "stuff" on it. I was actually looking for a hi-lift mount today and there isn't one for the flat utility rack since most are designed to be mounted on the vertical walls of a roof rack. That said, Sierra Expeditions has some mounts which would likely work well for a horizontal mount.

If Brock is going to measure his then I won't bother.

Here are some photos to save you in your search.

Measurements in the back are 3" from the roof and in the front is 4.25"

As a side note, this rack is fantastic. I have loaded it down with camping gear and fuel on several occasions with no issues. Plenty of room for ratchet straps and bungee cords. Doesn't add much wind noise and did not decrease the mileage by much.

Did you get the standard bars or do the mesh floor?

If they offer fuel can holder, axe/shovel mount, and HiLift mount for the flat utility rack like Intruder indicates then I am pretty interested in this rack.

Bars. I am not much for the mesh floors. I stand on the rack regularly, and I am around 180#, so the risk of the mesh sagging is not worth it to me.

Were you taking that pink car out to the desert to burn it?

Here are the pics John from Baja sent me.

Thanks!

That is an interesting mounting method for the shovels and Hi-lift. Not what I had envisioned at all.

Ok, I'm gald to hear that the bars can be stood on easily.

My daughter wanted to ride it in the park before our last boondocking trip. I already had fuel loaded up so it looks that way LOL.

Tell him to get that crap on the site because I was looking for a solution today!

It's a great rack; very sturdy. I stand on it all the time as well and it barely moves. I did have some issues with leaking at first, but I fixed that with silicone pretty easily. Also, I notice no wind noise from it at all even though some say they have noise. My tires are louder than anything I've noticed from the rack even with all that crap on it in the picture above.

Is the best pricing for the Baja directly through its website or through a dealer? They ever run sales?:fishing:

 

[RiDE]

Group buy anyone?

Talk to Jacque at trdparts4u. He can get you the items a little cheaper than advertised. I got my rack from them, also saved a bit on shipping since I also picked it up in socal.

I bit the bullet and ordered direct from Baja today....

projected ship date of 3/28 \:naughty:

Any pics yet? I am thinking of ordering the axe and shovel mount to have it shipped with my insert

None of my own, but they're identical to the ones in the pics I posted earlier in the thread. Now that I have a RTT I'm thinking I may not ever use the mounts since there won't be room for everything on the rack. Might look at mounting the axe and shovel in the back with quick fists instead.

Would you like to donate them to @BrockEverly arty:
