    11ft! Holy cut the top off my pantech batman, thats lower than a teenagers pants! I'd heard this trick from a Jeeper who was investigating fitting mog axels. A rack may be different to a body chop though.

    it's not a vehicle height restriction it's a restriction how much you can raise the height of your vehicle above standard. (not inc roof racks, light etc)

    Rangie roofs don't unbolt. Unless you attack it with the plasma or grinder. To chop the roof would be an absolute ***** of a job and IMO you'd be better off making a convertable or ute.

    I don't know about later rangies, but those i know of use phillip head screws.

    Lots of Bl#*d& screws there is cross tip that is (phillips 4 others) and no its not the height of the vehicle its the raise in suspension that counts

    Your right, they dont unbolt................they unscrew, nearly the easiest panel on the whole car to remove

    So did mine, until I took the factory fitted spacers out from under the seat mounts. Much better now, I can even wear a cap when driving if I so desire.
