    FS 5th Gen. Full Length Roof Racks by drabbits

    ARB 2500 mounted I went with the Fourtreks mounts and the ARB 2500. I'm glad I got the 2500, the extra coverage will be quite nice. And it mounted easily to the rack. I have it mounted as far back as it can go and just misses the open liftgate by about 1/4".

    ARB Awning mount options Which awning mounts did you use? From the pictures, they look like the Gzila (https://www.gziladesigns.com/product-page/awning-1100-mounting-clamps); however, I can only find those in 1.75". And I believe the drabbits rack is 1.125" dia. - Fourtreks is another...

    FS 5th Gen. Full Length Roof Racks by drabbits

    I received mine early December after approx 16 weeks. It's a very nice rack and overall well built; however, check your welds. On mine, the top weld of the last floor crossbar was missed, causing some rust spots to drop to the roof. I'm not a welder so I just put some silicone to seal the...

    It's here! The rack arrived this morning. The box had a few dings/tears in it but the rack was wrapped and packed very well and I don't see any visible problems. Now if only the heavy rains would stop so I could get it installed.

    ski rack or box get a ski rack or box that mounts to the existing crossbars on the rack. Or grab your noodles, some velco, a little duct tape and some bungee cords and do it the right way. :peace: Seriously though I would just go with a box or ski rack (i.e. Yakima) that mounts to the...

    has anyone recently received their rack? if so, when did you order it? It's been 11 weeks (Aug26) since I ordered and paid for a rack and I still haven't received it. I was initially told 4 weeks, then 6 weeks, then 8 weeks. I do know that Alex is overwhelmed with orders and had to change...

    Here's the email I received on 9/16/2014 regarding my order ------------------------------- Just wanted to update you on your build. We’ve had a bit of an issue with our powder coater. This has caused all of our orders to be pushed back at least 2 weeks. Alex is working tirelessly on...

    OPOR Sliders Installed

    Installed the replacement slider (passenger side). It came with new gussets and you'll need to re-use the existing hardware. It sits more forward now, but not as far forward as the driver's side. For the passenger side you could definitely have a mud guard/flap installed without a problem...

    OPOR Sliders Installed

    I had the same thing happen to me. I notified MetalTech and they said it was a manufacturing problem and thanked me for catching it. My passenger side sits back further. They're suppose to be sending me a new passenger side (no charge) that will match the driver's side (sits forward). I...

    OPOR Sliders Installed

    I did not loosen the XREAS pump. I removed the lines from two closest clips to where the slider foot/plate meets the frame. Then I carefully popped the closest clip to the slider foot/plate out. There was just enough play to get the foot/plate behind the lines. I put a little grease on the...

    OPOR Sliders Installed

    Check to make sure none of the gussets are making contact with the body of the truck. I installed OPOR sliders on my Limited and had the occasional creaking/thud sound and feel. I noticed that one of the gussets was barely touching the body. While the other gusset was barely touching the...
