Will Malone SteelTop Roof Rack Fit Garvin Expedition Rack

Published 01/25/2023

Question:

Hi, I have a 2003 Jeep Wrangler with a Garvin Expedition rack installed. The expedition rack has rails of 3/4inch square steel tubing. Id like to know if the clamps on this Malone SteelTop Cross Rail System, are able to secure to the 3/4inch square rails?

I checked with Malone and they don't offer a maximum and minimum side rail size for the Malone SteelTop Roof Rack part # MPG202. That said, they do come with a shim (see photo below) that is to be used on smaller sized side rails so you should be alright. If you still cannot get a tight fit even with the shim installed you can increase the thickness of the bar by adding additional spacers or by wrapping the bar in electric tape.
