Based on recommendations from Hummer on fumes I purchased the non-hummer Defender rack and went with a larger one. Finished it up to include front LED Bar and perimeter lights. I created my own wire harness running down the rear door channel and through the frame to help keep the integrity of an already leaky body style.

 

very nice, need a pic of it lit up at night

here you go

 

Very cool! Which Defender Rack did you choose?

 

Smittybilt 50705 Defender 5' X 7' Bolt Together Roof Rack

Smittybilt D8085 Defender Series LED Light Bar Bracket

The rack was over $325 less than the H2 one

 

Booch, thanks for the update, The perimeter lighting is very nice, can you tell me how tall the rack is from the top of the H2 roof rack to the top of the Defender rack?

I have very limited space from the top of my H2 to the garage,

thanks Neal

 

4 3/4 " from the top of crossbar to the top of the rack , my rig isn't lifted and it fits fine in my garage , hope that helps

 

Thank you sir!

 

Thanks, I'll have to check and see if I got the room,

Neal

 

I wonder about making brackets to mount it directly to the roof rails instead of the factory crossbars... Would bring it down closer to the roof.
