FS 5th Gen. Full Length Roof Racks by drabbits

[Coler2002]

I have been waiting for my refund since I no longer have expectations that my rack will be built. With all of these comments, production stopping then no flow of orders means no revenue or cash funds for Alex. As a result, production probably is not moving at any better pace. Those on the list that haven't gotten their racks are going to be delay even more now. These are the side affects. It sucks.

Keep us posted with this.

14 months... little communication

Hey Alex, could you let us know who is getting a rack and who is not? I'd like to at least know if I should expect a refund and order from another supplier or if these are still in production.

Sounds like a great product that could use some help on the business end.

Has anyone tried emailing Alex lately? I tried today a couple times but kept getting an email back saying it can't be sent to him? Anyone else having this problem?

Same here.

Trolls

[MENTION=139682]Simpleman74[/MENTION] You add nothing to this thread. Go back under your bridge

It is the Trolls that show up in every forum that keep me away...always smack talking every chance they get. Must be a Simple...Life...

Well I think his email is back up? I tried sending him an email the other day just for the hell of it and I didn't get any error message back saying it can't be sent but still no word from him :frusty::frusty: anyone hear anything from or about him lately?

 

[5thGen4Runner2015]

I tried to contact drabbits several times, but he never responded. I ended up going through Paypal and received a full refund. At this point I'm building my own based on KneeCaps build. I'll post some pics when I'm finished and I'd be glad to build one for those interested at a much faster pace and at a reduced price

You ever build your rack?

Life is very simple.... I don't take it too seriously..... lets hope the trend with keeping you away continues

Rack was delivered on Friday 6/2/17. Got it installed today. It's awesome....no issues with the build at all. I had a problem with the install because I'm an illiterate dumb ass......that fact aside...I love it.

 

[ToyRunner4Me]

I am glad you got your rack Karzir but again, why are the ones who paid in 2015 have not gotten theirs. It's ridiculous that there's no order to how they are being fulfill. There is no excuse or reason since Coler have put the list together. All Alex has to do is look at this thread.

Updated list

 

[Coler2002]

[MENTION=146690]tmeays8[/MENTION] Thanks for keeping the list going.
[MENTION=136539]Karzir[/MENTION] did you do anything special to get your rack sooner? pick it up in person? Glad to hear the quality is good.

Alex never ceases to amaze. Delivering racks way out of order. I am starting to believe that he intends to screw some people and not others. I have had some correspondence with him but its minimal 1 reply to my 5-6 messages. Fingers crossed that some day I'll have a rack.

Is there any breakdown of what type of rack individuals ordered?

i.e. maybe the "off the shelf" styles are quicker/easier to make and ship vs. ones that need custom work?

Even something seemingly as simple as adding additional mesh to one area of the rack could be considerable if he's already got inventory of the "regular" style cut and ready so it's merely an assembly operation rather than a full create-and-build.

I thought this same thing. I asked a few people what rack they ordered and it was the exact same thing as me. They just happen to get it sooner.

Clicks on link - gets excited about a different rack option

Skips to last page - goes back to looking at Gobi, Baja, etc. [emoji1]

ARB Awning mount options

Which awning mounts did you use?

From the pictures, they look like the Gzila (https://www.gziladesigns.com/product-page/awning-1100-mounting-clamps); however, I can only find those in 1.75". And I believe the drabbits rack is 1.125" dia.

- Fourtreks is another option, but for the ARB 2500 they recommend 3 mounts which is $170 shipped.

- Has anyone successfully used the Bajarack 3" mount. I know the drabbits rack is 3.5" high, but was curious if anyone has had success with the 3" mount?

- What about Gobi Stealth Awning attachment? Has anyone used this mount bracket on the drabbits rack?

Any other ARB compatible mounts that others have successfully used with their drabbits rack?

Cheers!

Those look like painted fourtreks mounts. I made my own but ended up pulling the trigger on the fourtreks as they def8nitely give it a cleaner look
