Thanks for the info on the Vanguard rack!! The market is flooded with these racks now with Victory, UpTop, and Prinsu. A couple questions, why did you go with Victory over Prinsu? How do you like this rack after owning it for awhile now?

You're welcome! So I went with the Victory Rack because I liked how it uses stainless steel hardware and it didn't use plusnuts. I also liked the way it looks more than the Prinsu one and at the time of release it was cheaper than the Prinsu one. I still love it! I have a Apache 9800 case mounted to it all the tiime, and rotate between my snowboard rack, kayak pads, and traction boards.

@@joyridefiends when you set them you are supposed to put silicone between the plusnut and the body. When you assemble the rack and tighten the bolt into the plusnut, it can cause the plusnut to turn and break the silicone seal causing a leak.

With the rack, box and bigger tires I get 24mpg

Quick question. Did you remove the headliner because of the OEM rails? I have an LE with no rails just the flush mounts. This would mean I wouldn't need to drop it and just pop the caps and install the mounts correct?

you would still need to drop it to hold the nut while you tighten the bolts

That sucks! Did you catch it before starting or mid install?
