I currently have the Front Runner Slimline roof rack. The gap between the roof and rack leaves almost no space for a table slide so I'm looking at taller feet (x6). New price unaffordable.
Anyone that can assist?
Please let me know

Good idea and part of the plan. Just thought there might be some laying around - appears to be quite a universal fit.Chris Skinner wrote: ↑19 Aug 2021 21:56 Frontrunner prices are crazy high.

Simply cut the existing ones and lengthen with neccesary length insert, then if necessary have it powder coated again

Re: Wanted: Taller feet for Frontrunner Slimline roof rack
Not long ago I went in the opposite direction and cut a set of feet shorter in order to make a rack fit more snugly to the roof to aid wind resistance (and to just look better ). It was a hassle but worth it. There MUST be somebody out there looking for a swap for shorter feet.

Easier option might be to just fit a spacer between the feet and the rack?
Cheers, Gareth
