Wow that's a nice rack, I was researching about building my own.

Warren has ARB feet for sale a while ago, still toying with the idea.

How do you wash the roof top ?
Otherwise, very nice and slim design !

Does this rack use the Smittybilt HDS-8 (short) or HD-8 (tall) mounting brackets? I want to make sure so order the correct ones from Amazon.

Where did you source the parts for the actual rack?
