Pretty sure the Thule 696 is less than 5", probably more like 3-4".

Rad...do you have pics/info on your tank lift. I don't recal seeing anything about it before...or my memory is failing me (as it often does).

Don't worry, you're memory is fine and I just didn't post anything on it. I do have a couple pics that I can upload later today or tomorrow.

Thanks Ashley, I was wondering about the Thule racks. I like the idea removing the roof rack and making a mount like Justin did on his old VX. Then height really wouldn't be an issue. I can't believe I missed the rack in Boulder that you posted. That would have been too easy...

That's exactly what I was thinking about after my first post, I actually spent a while digging on the site for his install details but couldn't find it anywhere.

The wrap look good! Would like to do it to mine to cover up the crappy paint but for the cost I could just get it repainted. Wont even try to do a wrap myself. I suck at that kind of thing and it would look horrible.

Thanks Dave. I'll give you a hand if you ever want to give it a shot. Maybe on the Volvo...

I found it in the how-to section under accessories. I forgot he had lights mounted on the rack that looked pretty good. Maybe something to consider for your rack?
