Hey [MENTION=63487]A.Wilson013[/MENTION] I just ordered a 1/2" body lift from shootmymime and I was curious weather or not your fan shroud got in the way of the fan at all.

Also I really like that roof rack, looks alot lighter than others that I have seen. What do you reckon it weighs?

I didn't have any issues with the fan shroud. In fact, I never even considered that it may be an issue. Guess I got lucky.

The rack is pretty dang light. I can quite easily take it off the roof by myself. It it weren't so big, I could also install it by myself. I'd be shocked if it weighed more than 55lbs. I bet it's closer to 45.

Finished Roof Rack

Got the call yesterday- the rack was back from getting powder coated.

I didn't want to post a bunch of iPotato pics, so I waited until today so I could take some proper shots of it in it's natural habitat... A parking garage.

To say I am pleased with the outcome would be a massive understatement. I freaking love this thing.

The rack looks sweet! It's so clean- I love it! Out of curiosity, how do those front mounts work? Screw into where the weatherstripping is, or what?

Let's see the mounts buddy! Hahaha. Are the front two resting or bolted in?

Need to fix my basket on the surf haha.

My night photography game is weakkkk. Here are some shots. It's dark though.

Here's how it is on the tracks... There's a piece of 1" x 3" flat stock in the track itself with some holes tapped into it. 1 bolt on either side of the legs.

And the front legs are just resting on the roof. I won't be drilling any holes up there as I feel that'd just be asking for leaks. Left the gutter functional as pointed out by [MENTION=44220]BigFishAllDay[/MENTION]

Truck looks really good. The backdrop of final assembly is a nice touch too.

Thanks man! Final assembly of the jets, and the rack. Seemed fitting.
