Heh heh … I had to use that as a title.

I am curious about head room though. It’s hard to tell from the images and I was wondering how all of these devices affect head room for a tall guy like yourself. They seem above the windshield, so I’m guessing vision is fine (as you stated), but what about actual space in which to move your head? Can you still go on a bumpy off-road ride and not worry about smashing your forehead in to your CB equipment?

Nice article, btw.

RE: Max Head Room? by VnutZ :: NR10

Good question. The answer is that there is an enormous amount of headroom in the Wrangler. As it stands now there is at least six inches between my head and the roof and I am 6’4". The rack itself is completely above the roll bar already so it does not impact on the windshield visibility. It is also mounted forward enough that even with some massive bouncing (high speed moguls) I have never hit my head. Actually, I’ve only hit my head getting into the Jeep! Remember the windshield is nearly straight up and down so unlike most cars where the windshield tapers back and terminates near the driver’s head, this windshield is several feet in front of you.
