it does sit kinda tall, but i didn't have any other way to mount it.
maybe down the road a little ways i will modify it to sit lower.

I like those style of racks. If I ever get around to building one, that's how I'd build it. Only it'd have a bottom of expanded metal. Yours doesn't look like it really has a bottom?

Sitting high like that can be an advantage. Keeps anything loaded in or on the rack from contacting the roof of the vehicle.

it has cross bars there just not bolted on yet. i left them off to mount it so they wouldn't get in the way.
