Armor Tech Offroad low profile rola mounts

[Lenny33]

I have searched,but can't find a definitive answer as to whether the Armor Tech Off-road low profile mounts for the Rola basket work on 5th Gens? It would appear so, but I wondered if anybody could give me a quick confirmation? Thanks!

Good news bad news . They will work BUT you to have the TE roof rack . SR5 rack 10-13 is to low & rola rides the foof , so if you have a TE rack good to go ! No difference in dimensions from 4th to 5th same width . So now the hunt is on for TE 10-13 yr only ? Anyone have one they want to sell :help: ? :frusty:

Can you just flip the brackets in th meantime?

 

[oljedi11950]

Would be hard to tighten them up & also nothing then for rack to sit on !

 

[NoDak]

hmmm, smaller washers to get maybe a tad more height, maybe 1-2 mm?

If you flip them it will still have the same surface to sit on. It will just be higher.

agreed. looks like you'd gain an inch of clearance.

 

[oljedi11950]

I agree it would however the bracket is what the rack sits in/on so IMO you lose the stability ?

Wonder how much just for the TE side rails ? All I need really , gotta be stupid $$$ :wow2:

The bracket isn't going to be significantly less strong just because you flipped it over. I suspect those brackets are capable of holding well above what the weight for which the stock rails are rated.

Eh possible give a look .I don't like it just resting on it . We'll see

Bootlegs right

The bracket won't be any weaker and unless the bracket was stopping the rack from sliding forwards it already was just sitting on it in the direction it will see the most force (while braking). The screws should be plenty to hold it on.

[MENTION=78968]oljedi11950[/MENTION] How close the rack to the shark fin antenna is?

 

[oljedi11950]

[MENTION=111795]GabrielM[/MENTION] haven't yet mounted only checked fitment & I can get it real close or slide it fwd cpl of inches to miss it .

i would love to see this on someone's TE.. i'm kinda interested in one

 

[oljedi11950]

Hang in there I'm getting the TE rack so I can HOPEFULLY mount it up !! Getting (again) hopefully great deal on one from guys I bought it from !

So if I am reading this correctly, the brackets will work fine on my 2015 Trail?
