:wtf:

got a notice from Fedex that they attempted delivery at 1:20 pm, but business was closed... :crybaby:

I've told the main office at FEDEX that We are closed 12-2 daily.. they just don't get it..

I had it delivered to my work since noone is home during the day usually.




another attempt will be made today...

Mine is on...we'll all except one bolt. One of the channels is blocked and can't slide the head of the bolt through. I've put a call in to front runner about getting a new cross member. It's a great looking piece of gear, just this one minor hiccup.

Does the rack go any lower? Some other photos made it look much lower profile.

Not on mine..

I wish it was a bit lower myself,, but it would hit the open sunroof against the front spoiler on the bottom/front of the rack.. i tried it and its pretty close..

but there is basically no change in wind noise from the rack.

I have a question for other with the 4th Gen .. Do you have a slight bend after installing your rack? right at the adjoining pieces? Being that there is a slight body/roof curve..

Its happening - itll be a month or two.

Front Runner wanted to wait until after Expo.

I got mine on the last group buy. Intalled...

Then I ordered the extension, it gives 8" more on the sides and comes with one extra slat..

But now i'm thinking I want to extend it about 4-6" more to completely clear the sunroof..

Here are a couple picture of before and after...as you can see it makes a big difference from the stock roof rack, no rack , to the front Runner rack.. plus the extension.. also makes it look a little better.. IMO..

I think I will make an additional extension from the two side rails that I took off and add to the end of the rack.. I will have to get some custom side rail brackets to hold up the extension..

Committed for the next group buy as well! So glad I finally found this subforum before I pulled the trigger on a new rack– will basically end up getting a bike rack for free
