Yes! I used silicone and stainless washers under the L brakets on all bolts of the 4 bases.

Did the rack not come with the stainless washers?

It comes with all hardware including washers. I just added those because I was having a hard time with the plastics that sticks out of the mounting holes. This raises the platform a bit so that you don't have to mess with anything factory.

Did anyone receive their racks yet? I just received a Call from DHL and one was delivered!!! I'm sure I’m not the only one eager to see them on some rigs.lol

 

[Vinsil]

So they are on the way? :frog:

 

[Rorck]

QUICK UPDATE!!!For those of you in the second batch, If everything goes as planed the company will start shipping this Friday!!!!

 

[takdadjk]

That's great. Super stoked to get this on my rig.

 

[L-Force]

That will be awesome if they do, I can't wait.

Yeah it sucks it seems as I get older, make more money....it gets worse each year. A few people I work with have bought rental homes and started side businesses up to help offset thing. I started pumping more into my retirement fund but that is capped out too. Damned if you do...

I should have mine done by end of next week. I'll be in touch. :biggrin1:

Finished my taxes up today. I'm writing dear uncle sugar a $1400 check so I'll have to wait a few months for a bumper. :boom:

I was in the first phase, but haven't heard if my rack arrived in Sacramento to pickup?

 

[Vinsil]

Oh and anyway to track or get delivery eta? I want to be able run home and secure it so nothing strange happens.

Mine arrived today. See previous post explaining southern states shipped direct from ecotechne. Not enough time to install this evening but here is a couple of pics from my parts check.

Sweet! First impressions?

 

[Vinsil]

Oh and do I spy I nice FJ40?!?

 

[baander]

First impression - Very satisfied. It's beefy, looks well designed/fab'd, and it shipped well considering the epic journey it just finished. I'm guessing the package weighed close to 75lbs and they must have spent half a day wrapping it in bubble wrap, cardboard, and shrink wrap. Probably going to regret not getting the extra crossbar.

Yep cruiser head here! Here's one more look at the rack before install pics, hopefully soon.

Cruiser head here too man!

Good to hear, I think we have a great product here for sure!

Late model handles, looks clean and stockish. I'm after a 70 series right now. Here is a pic of my 40.

 

[baander]

Oh I like! Bet these ecotechne guys could find you a nice 70 series. You got it; 77 and stockish with a nice trail patina. Also have a nice frame off restomod 69 model that somebody needs to buy from me.
