Hey George, this is a great question but if you consider how long the typical vehicle roof is and where the rear crossbar is located that if you put 8 foot rods at that point it would hang really far forward and would potentially cause issues and could hit windshield etc.

Hey George, did the explanation about rod length and rack placement help make sense of why longer rods need to be broken down on your Tundra? Knowing how it worked out with your Striper-4 carrier could help others hauling longer rods too.
