Heavy duty rain gutter clamps are designed to mount to vehicles with factory rain gutters. Rain gutter clamps are available in two heights.
Solid gutter mounts. All the instructions were easy to follow along. These things are hefty. Made mounting a roof rack on my Cherokee a breeze.
Smitty Built does a nice job on thier stuff generally speaking. But their defender roof rack connectors absolutely leave something to be desired. It is extremely diffucult to get the right connector kit on the first try. Be very careful what you order and you might get the right item the first time.
These will not work on a TJ Wrangler with the fiberglass hard top. You have to remove the rubber on the clamp piece for the door to close. They want to slip off as you tighten the clamping nut because of the extreme angle on the outer clamp piece.
