Apparently I just missed the first batch as I put my order in 8/12. Any eta on the next batch?

Next batch will be going out end of this month! Thank you for your order, excited to see it mounted up!

Brian buttoned up his install last week and posted some cool pics on his insta!

(@herbs._) Super stoked on how the newest design looks with the minor adjustments and updated fairing.

Anybody got a pic or idea on how the front portion was mounted? Like if the front half is just free-floating, pressure mounted, or drilled into the roof.

The front is pressure mounted with adjustable feet.

My only concern with the rack is that it retains the stock rack base. Are there any plans to redo the mounting system?

Every 3rd gen rack I have ever seen uses the stock rails. What is so bad about them? These have been tested with a lot of weight on some rough terrain.

You do realize that these guys are based out of the Denver area right? I am sure they would be happy to meet up with you.

Just finished installing my rack last night, got dark by the time I was done so I will try to update with pictures in the near future. Overall great design that should be great to have moving forward. Fast communication throughout the process and happy to support board members!

I am not familiar with the term "pressure mount". Can you describe that in more detail and/or maybe show some close up pictures of what that looks like?

My apologies if you have already done that somewhere in the prior 4 pages. I havent reviewed all prior posts in this thread...but if so, can you point me to the particular post numbers in this thread that might shed some more light on a pressure mount?

I'm pretty sure it means that the front feet of the rack don't actually bolt on to anything on the roof, but are resting on the roof. (Resting isn't really the right word, they have a little pressure from the rack flexing so it's like they are forcefully resting on the roof) - hence "pressure mount". This way you don't have to drill into the roof.

Sorry for the delay, snagged pictures last night under the lights of the gas station haha. The front legs mount with a C shaped bracket and simply lower the felt pad to press against the roof and apply pressure. No drilling into the roof required!







Overall very happy with the rack! Haven't notice much wind noise at all, looks awesome and will be put to good use.
