I’m getting 2.5” measured off one of the raised rails on the roof and 3” measured from one of the flats in-between. If you’re using a power tool, the 8 bolts and rack can be removed in 5 minutes. If you want the rear brackets out of the way for top-off driving, they come off in another 20 seconds with single bolts each.
Appreciate the info.. Thank you.I’m getting 2.5” measured off one of the raised rails on the roof and 3” measured from one of the flats in-between.

Ordered, thanks
Alright folks, this won’t be the last hair-raising project on my 3.0, but it might have been the most. The idea of drilling 8 holes through a $4500 painted roof for my @Maximus-3 rhino rack mount had me fairly concerned since picking up the rig a few weeks ago. There is a steep monetary and time-invested price to pay for a 900+ lb load rating that looks this clean, but it’s absolutely worth it. Between the pioneer platform assembly, satellite antenna relocation, bracket alignment, drilling, mounting, and roll bar reassembly, this is a two day project especially if you’re the type of person who adjusts down to 1/32nd” tolerances as I tend to. It also requires at least one other reasonably strong person for a few steps. If anyone is planning on taking the plunge with this thing, do PM me, because I devised a drilling alignment method that’s significantly more fool-proof than the directions and will save you time by measuring less.
I spoke with Dennis Collins of Collins brother Jeeps and he said they were good and he installs them. He was supposed to be checking on one for the diesel...there is a Mopar part number but nothing in stock yet. He said it should just be a spring load change because of the 400 lbs of additional engine weight.

I got a 0% from GM in 2007 and they would NOT offer any discount at all...so it wouldn't surprise me to tell you the truth. But give this virus and how bad the market will be for awhile it can't hurt to ask and see what they will do.
How can you tell if it's working?Installed the gladiator grill inserts in hopes of providing better cooling. Remains to be seen if it will work, but for $32 it was worth taking a chance.
for those interested, the part numbers are attached.
Good question. Ideally, I would have data for towing during the summer months with the stock grill inserts to compare to towing data with the gladiator inserts. But I guess I’ll just be keeping an eye on temps and compare to other information posted in the months to come.
Were you able to install with the winch on there? Looks great!Installed the gladiator grill inserts in hopes of providing better cooling. Remains to be seen if it will work, but for $32 it was worth taking a chance.

Had to take off the control pack on the top of the winch. There are 4 Allen bolts on the outside of the control pack that you can remove while in place and it allows you to move the control pack to get room to remove the grill. Very simple
Awesome, thanks!
