HD Roofrack clamps - Page 2

Groucho,

Sorry for the delay in getting back to you - life got a little crazy, and as shocking as it may seem, the cruiser took a back seat for awhile. Count me in if you need to keep track of interest.

I'd definitely be interested in picking up a set of 8 brackets. I'm just now seeing this thread. PM me if you decide to make up any more sets.

groucho · 01-24-08, 06:50 AM

Just like porkysan and knorrena did, if there is enough interest(6 or more people wanting to order 6 or more brackets) I will place another order. Turn time has almost been cut in half now that the process is worked out. I am glad this is working out for folks.

The sooner I get commitments from folks, the sooner the order can be placed. So tell your buddy to get some, too, and we'll order them up!

groucho · 01-25-08, 07:09 AM

*UPDATE* 1-25-08
I made the adjustment slots to be longer both ways, so these now do have the additional travel of 3/8" up and down. That would make the up/down height range from 4 3/4" at the lowest to 6 1/4" at the highest, instead of 5 1/8" and 5 7/8". The most recent run on 1-15-08 should all be this way.

I hit the center of my FJ60's roof when I tried to use a 4.5" off-brand clamp. This due to the curvature of the roof. As you can see in the photos, the range is 5 1/8" to 5 7/8"(Now 4 3/4" at the lowest to 6 1/4" at the highest).

See post #48 for current pricing.

knorrena · 01-25-08, 10:47 AM

Count me in for 6.

Karl

knorrena · 02-04-08, 09:03 AM

Groucho,

Is there any chance that these might be ready to ship within the next week or so? I am asking because I will be in Dallas on Feb 11-13, and shipping would be a lot less expensive for me if I can pick them up there and bring them home.

Cheers,

Karl

groucho · 02-04-08, 11:29 AM

I usually wait until I have interest enough for 36 to 42 brackets(6 to 7 sets of 6) before I place an order. Right now there are only 2 folks ready to buy. I wish I was ready to ship them for you, but I haven't placed the order and orders take 12-15 days.

I will see what I can do, but I can't promise anything.

groucho · 03-01-08, 08:26 AM

I have just put in an order for another round of Roofrack gutter clamp brackets.

I will update on when they will be ready to ship (~15 days) and get them to folks.

Post up if you want some!

If you end up doing one, please let me know.

PM Me direct. I got another order going right now. Should be done in the next couple of weeks, by EOM for sure.

knorrena · 03-14-08, 01:45 PM

Groucho,

Sorry man, count me out. I had a big need for these (needed to bring home some drywall) and could wait no longer so I went and bought a set of Thules. I would have been happier with yours though.

Karl

Norris Marshak · 03-25-08, 07:17 AM

Please send me notice as soon as additional clamps and crossbars become available. Thank you. N.M.

Cruzer_89 · 03-28-08, 01:06 PM

97 FZJ80 · 04-14-08, 04:23 PM

Can you confirm that the clamps and crossbars clear the OEM racks on the 80 series as seen in post #16 and #17? Thanks!

groucho · 04-15-08, 01:53 PM

I will take a photo of my roofrack tonight (Hopefully) and post it up. Sitting on top of the factory crossbars. (I did this with this very thing in mind. I don't want my factory stuff on my roof at all. It makes noise and it is useless. )

97 FZJ80 · 04-22-08, 09:10 AM

Cool. I'd like to see the pictures before I order the clamps. Thanks.
