Nice rack, I really like the high lift mount on the back it seams like a less damage prone area than the normal mounting locations.
Don't fret. This is about as challenging as it gets for Charles and his trucks:
Do you think you might be cutting it close with only 1/2" clearance? If the rack was used as intended and got loaded up a tad more than it should and driven on a bumpy road (think bringing firewood to camp) I'd be concerned of some rub from flex. I'd go an inch personally.
After all if it's made well enough you can put a chair up there and watch the clouds pass

As with the majority of Rob's designs, the roof rack will be woefully over-engineered so there should be minimal flex. (There will be 8 individual supports). The center portion along the highest part of the roof will clear by slightly more that 1/2" while the front and rear will clear by ~ 1". The beauty of his design will allow for fairly easy adjustment in elevation if necessary. Due to the proximity of the rear ladder, I would assume the bulk of the cargo would be loaded in the rear portion of the rack where the clearance is the greatest. **(Tech content)
**(Non tech content) ... I've been watching clouds pass by for 40+ years and I'm kinda over that.
I do however appreciate your thoughts and input.

Nice job on the tech post, Charles. Keep up the good work.

I might suggest rerouting that wiring - I'd find that terribly distracting!

It's my intentions to move the wiring over in front of the passenger seat.
Yep - perfect.....we're on the same page, then.
Hello Charles,
It does not.
There is a little rectangular plate, 25 mm by 8 mm approximately, that comes with the keys. It has a number stamped on it that can be used to cut a key. In theory.
It is better to order a new set (4 or 5 depending on the part number) of cylinders. If your glove box has a lock, the 5 piece set will do. Otherwise, the 4 piece set is good.
One of the To-Do items for my 73, but that is another story.
My two cents.
Juan

We do serve that region with our kerosene pigeons so when you wake up one morning and your Ute is gone, remember you gave me permission.

You do need another UTE since you foolishly sold the nicest one in the US ...
