FS 5th Gen. Full Length Roof Racks by drabbits

Got my rack almost a year ago. Still love the crap out of it. Use it all the time. Even got me out of a jam when they dropped off a lift without fuel I drug it out of the way then used my 8ft ladder on top of the rack to finish the job. Not the safest way but job done.

Obvious safety issues aside, that's some darn productive use of the rack, impressive.
 
4-5 months lead time for mine

What is the lead time on this rack at now?

What [MENTION=110036]Neauxla[/MENTION] said...4-5 months to delivery. I ordered mine January 11th, and heard tonight it's back from powder-coating and it'll be shipped this Friday May 15th.

You're doing better than me. I ordered December 28th and I was told Monday that my rack would be delivered to the powder coated by the end of the week. They apparently must not like me. :-(

Maybe he got yours confused with mine. Looks like mine is going in to PC end of week too, but Alex knew that I wouldn't be able to come down and pick it up until end of May at the earliest. Now it's look more like middle of June before I can make the trek.

Are the crossbars that come with the drabbits the same diameter as Yakima round crossbars? I'm about to buy some J cradles and they work with Yakima bars. Will they work with the drabbits?
 
Crossbars are 1" diameter.

A response from the man himself some time ago...here.

Just got my rack last week. Its crossbars are slightly smaller than the 1-1/8" outer frame bars, right at 1" diameter.

If your J cradles fit larger, I'd think you could put some (more?) foam tape in them to close the gap and protect surfaces. That's what @drabbits did with his crossbar end mount points.

Thank you. I think they'll work then.
 
Hi everyone,

I'll be slowly updating those that need to be and responding to all pm's and posts. My customer service rep "my wife" has been out with the flu for a couple weeks. Fortunately for me I was able to avoid getting sick too simply because I literally live in my shop for a few days at a time to keep up with orders.

During the month of May, we hesitated to take in any sales orders. I was under the impression that interested customers were being notified and put on a wait list. I will be going through all inquiries that we received in May and responding to all during the following week.

As a heads up, we will be raising our prices in July and we'll being posting the new prices in a couple weeks.

I realize you probably won't be back for a while to answer this but, what is the lead time if one was ordered today?
