I still haven't been by the hardware store to take product pics and part numbers, got hit with allergy onslaught form the pollen vortex, then cold out the ying yang from the polar vortex, peeling plastidip, powder coater down in the hood, and sheesh.

But here is the quick line-up from roof rack to bumper:
KC light mount
spring link
spring
cable (with vinyl coating and secured with ferrets)
double eye turnbuckle
spring link
KC light mount

The light mounts you choose are dependent on your tubing size you are attaching to.
The size of Spring Links you choose, are dependent on the size of your light mounts.

Fj Moose I understand the allergies and cold issues as I'm in nashville. I've been dealing with same issues. Thanks for the parts list. This will be my first adventure with limb risers

 

[saltybob]

How does this look?

 

[FJ Moose]

Looking great

Here are pics of all of the parts except what you choose to attach the spring links to the roof rack and bumper:

nice modification...what roof rack are you using? How much clearance from the wire to the roof? Any recommendation on roof rack for durability against being ripped off from branches? I plan to install ARb bumper, but not sure which roof rack has the best combination of durability against deformation when the branch hits the wire and puts stress on the tubing of the rack and also enough clearance from the roof line to prevent rubbing on the roof. ANy thoughts? Thanks

looks like you have ARB roof rack...how durable is it when heavy branches pulling on the wire / rack? I am thinking about an ARB rack and bumper but not sure. Is your rack the allow or steel? How easy to remove rack from the fit hardware, or do you leave mounted all the time...I have a clearance issue with garage door, and think I will need to remove the rack when not in use? Much of an issue to take on off nad beable to leave the gutter rail attached to the roof? What bumper are you using? Are the clamps on top of the rack necessary versus just attached caribiner directly to the rack?

 

[FJ Moose]

It is the ARB.
I don't know of any racks that are easily removable or weak for that matter.
Mine is steel, and you're not going to bend the tubing from a branch.

What you have to keep in mind is this is glide smaller branches above the vehicle, not to move a tree.

I leave mine on all the time. I am using a Demello 3 hoop bumper.

If you can attach the caribiner to the rack that would be fine, just keep in mind it will move so metal on metal will cause scratching, noise, and rusting.

There are many low profile racks that you can get into your garage with.

The roof racks mount at six points, so if anything gets peeled off, it will be your entire roof itself.

As far as the wire, your limb riser will break at it's weakest point, probably the spring, before you ever get to the point of hurting the rack or roof.

However, if you are trying to move 40 lb limbs, you shouldn't be there in the first place.

Shoot! I am a traditional archer and was super excited when I noticed your link "limb risers"... Still a very cool read. Trying to figure out how to do this with a Metal Tech front tube bumper.

 

[FJ Moose]

Yeah, that might be a bit of a challenge :lol:

 

[Greenjalapeno]

very cool

I'd hate to see the ginsu-action aftermath of a pedestrian vs. limb riser impact...

do you hit pedestrians often?

My Metaltech bumper insures they never make it to the limb deflectors.
