Thanks!

can that rack hold a roof top tent? weight wise?

nice job I recommend you putting some silicone around the rear bolts holes you drilled so that no water or moister rusts out the metal.

Hi Brad, great vid! I’m looking at getting the same rack, and mounting to body same as you as I have a stock bumper with parking sensors. Do you know if mounting to body reduces the 350lb capacity compared with frame mount? Have you noticed any problems with body mounting as tkme has gone on? Cheers David

As far as I know it does not reduce the dynamic weight capacity. Static weight capacity is also still 500 lbs according to manufacturer specifications. After about a year with the rack I haven’t noticed any issues occurring. A little squeaking here and there but nothing abnormal. Regular tightening of the bolts is to be expected. Overall it was a great purchase decision. I hope this helps!!! Let me know if you have any other questions.

So I mounted mine to the bumper and like you said now I can't get my OEM rear bumper back on. Do you suggest mounting the rack the frame, I was worried it would compromise the weight capacity of the roof rack.

It does compromise the weight capacity with the direction I took (body mount), although you really don’t loose much. I preferred this method only because I liked my OEM bumper and didn’t want to buy a new one. If you’re comfortable taking measurements and drilling holes in the Jeep then I’d suggest that. Otherwise you have to buy a new bumper. Now if you do plan on buying a new bumper, by all means go with the frame mount!! Hope this helps 🤙

I was just given one of these but I’m hesitant to drill thru the body as I don’t know if I’m gonna keep it.

Take a chance on it! Worst case scenario you don’t do it right and you have to get some body armor to cover the holes. Biggest thing is marking the holes in the correct spot before you drill. Having a sharp bit on your drill also helps!

hey man, where were you able to determine the roof loading capacity of your jeep? im installing a frontrunner extreme slimline II on the jeep wrangler rubicon 2 door MY22 but can't for the life of me find the recommended dynamic roof loading capacity so i can know how much i can safely stow on the top for camping. at the moment my setup is about 92kg including the slimline itself the slimline installs onto the roll cage and has the bars which come down onto the front bonnet like yours so the hardtop doesn't actually hold any of the load with it on

I was able to find my specs through the manufacturer. Best bet is to search around and see if there is a product guide anywhere. Worst case scenario you could always try to reach out to the manufacturer for more information. I can tell you that the rack I bought has a 159kg weight limit while driving and a 230kg static weight limit. Most racks should be able to handle your load. You got a nice one!! Hope that helps 👍

What's the trick to get rid of the huge howling sound when your driving?

@Wolf_Off-Road

Жыл бұрын

Hmm… good question. I never had a howling noise with mine. I had some squeaking though. Do you have a hard top or soft top?

How does the top opening and closing function?

You can remove the top cross bars to allow for the roof to open/close

How hard is it to take the top back with the rack on?

@Wolf_Off-Road

Not too difficult! Those top cross bars simply unscrew and you can put them back on when you pull the roof back.

@@Wolf_Off-Road But once you have your top tent on, must be impossible to drop down the soft top? I like the model of the rack but I'm just wondering about droping the soft top.

did you find a fix for the creaking?

Ehh, sort of. It’s mostly trial and error. Keep tightening over time. Another user commented about adding silicon to the bolts.

Would it work for a Suzuki Jimny ?

No, this roof rack is specifically built for the Jeep Wrangler.
