Note to PR-4000 viewers: at 0:23 he mentions using "a 36 socket." I assume he means a 36mm socket which may be the case for a PR-5000 but for the 4000 you will want a 15/16" (or 23.83 mm) socket for assembly.

For the PR5000 V2 - 1" hardware, you can also use a "1 - 3/8" SAE socket, it fits on the nuts but not the bolt head.

Came here to say this!

Video was a lifesaver as I'm putting together my PR-5000. Dan, couldn't help but think that you wouldn't have needed that step-stool if you and Matt had swapped roles while attaching the pull-up bar and logo plate!

Awesome video. It looks like it's very high quality and easy to assemble!

I recommend using a box wrench instead of a crescent for the Logo Crossmember. A crescent wrench will not fit inside the cut out for the top hole on the Logo Crossmember, a box wrench fits perfectly.

Thank you for the video!!

Excellent video. Took me more time to unpack and clean the packing materials than building the rack.

The "Dan The Man" Interlude and Intro music is so epic! 🤣

Just assembled my PR-4000. This video made it pretty simple. Like another post, it took longer to remove everything from the packaging than it did to assemble. Thanks.

How long did it take you?

Great video, made assembly a breeze. REP including a tool to reach nut in logo plate was a great addition.

Just got mine in. All blacked out. Such a beauty.

Nice video. That was a great tip to use the pull-up bar as a spacer for the bottom feet. You can also use 2x4’s cut at the same length as the pull-up bar in case the bottom moves. Or cut at 41-3/8” if you are getting the belt squat along with the power rack.This would be an 1/8” wider than the belt squat attachment and ensure a nice fit. For those getting the belt squat I would also suggest moving the bottom cross members as far up as possible. This will ensure alignment of the holes.

Life saver! Watching this video it made 100000000x's better to install this. I just got the pr4000 and Lat attachment and it took me around 2 and half hours. I think it took me longer to see where I wanted to place the actual machine then to build it! Thank you! amazing video! Remember you need a 24mm socket for the pr 4000

It’s already been said but I’m here to reiterate. The 5000 rack might need a “36 socket” (36 mm) but the bolts for the 4000 rack use a 24 mm socket. If you don’t already have this size socket at home (I did not) just take a bolt with you to the store to verify the size.

To everyone wondering when the item will be in stock I would reccomend buying the parts separately. You do pay roughly almost $100+ (i could be off on the math so my bad). Since everyone is making a gym garage/basement most if not all companies are sold-out/back-ordered but they do sell the parts separately still. Just don't make the same mistake I did and buy 8 crossmembers size 41" for a six-post-rack... make sure you have your rear crossmembers as a 16".... other than that I'm glad this video is available because I haven't seen anyone else put up an assembly for the PR-5000 v2.

@anubis24354

Жыл бұрын

I know this is an old comment and you’ve probably figured this out by now but for other people that may pass by this in the future here’s what I’ve found if you don’t want to bolt it down. If you have the 41” rack it should be stable enough without the feet IF YOU ARE NOT going to lift outside the rack with safety spotter arms. If you have the six post configuration, it’s supposedly sturdy enough to lift outside even without front feet, especially if you’re actually using the extension for weight storage. Still not sure I’d feel comfortable doing so. The big takeaway is that with a 41” depth rack the real question is will you be squatting outside the rack with spotter arms? If no, you’re probably good to go. If yes, you probably at least want the legs. The rear base stabilizer seems to only be needed with smaller configurations or with the lat pull-down/low row attachment.

OK this is my dilemma.🙄 I currwntly have this set up PRX wall rack and separate valor lat pull down machine, separate rogue pull up bar, separate rogue band station with matador dip attachment and landmine (this is what I currently have right now) and many of other things.. I want the rogue arms so for that I will have to get another rack I think so I been looking at the one mentioned avobe..now if I get the pr5000 with lat pull down, rogue leverage arms, dip, land mind and pull up bar attachments I can sell all my other stuff and this way I will have everything consolidated in one rack..don't know if I will like everything cramped up in one place though🤔🤔. Or maybe just replace prx wall rack with rogue wall rack and keep everything else in separate stations like I have it now??🤔🤔

You can use some shims (many stores sell them) to level out any uprights that may not hit the ground. It's also important to put the rack together with bolts loosened, find a spot you want to set the rack, then tighten them all down. This will help with keeping the rack level.
