I debated for same reason. I only get to park in the garage when my wife takes her Expedition to the airport for a business trip. Otherwise I'm outside so...figured what the heck. Currently only have 3" of clearance with door up. Rack is 4" high. <img src="https://www.jk-forum.com/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=637803"/>

Custom Rocker switch panel.
I started with 4 layers of fiberglass earlier this week for my curved panel for my front/rear locker switches. After sanding it down it just felt too flimsy so I decided to add another 4 layers of fiberglass weave. So now instead of painting and priming it today Its hanging for at least 24 hours. So no switch panel for my Jeep yet.

Still Working on it.
So I painted it Knowing I was going to need to sand it more. But if you paint it, sanding after can show you the high and low spots.
Anyways I need to square it off and sand it more. But I did do a "Mock" mount of the locker switches. So at least I'm going to know how it fits an looks. This is a picture of the rough Trial run. I'v already sanded down and re-painted. I'll post again once Its dry.
*So I had to take it off sand and re-paint so now its hanging again*
*Update* So its as good as I want to get it. I know I could get it looking better but I'm satisfied with it.

I tried putting the Drake Rockclaw latches on, but they won't lock in on the passenger side. I can't adjust the upper latch any lower to where it needs to be. It also put a small chip in my freshly painted fender, FML. Needless to say, I took them off and put the old ones on. Waste of $120.
