I need to install load bars on my XJ for a roof top tent. I'm leaning toward the Thule gutter mount setup, but my only concern is how high this setup is over the roof line. I'd prefer it if the load bars were lower profile.
Thule's vehicle look-up guide shows different options, but doesn't show pictures or dimensions. For instance, is there a Thule system that uses the factory rails, is strong enough, and slightly lower than the gutter mount setup?
This isn't my XJ, but a picture I found on the web of an XJ with the Thule gutter mount setup. It'd be nice if those load bars were 2" lower. See what I'm talking about?
Roof top tents are pretty large, even when folded up. The lower I can get this thing, the better.
