New 5th Gen Roof Rack Now Available (Full & Standard Length) | Victory 4x4

[Victory 4x4]

Great timing, I was about to place on order for a different rack, but I think I like this better. These photos look great, but the edge trim in the install video looks sloppy not going all the way across. Is it required in the rear- does the rear fairing make contact with the body? Have you tested road noise without it in the front?

Yes, you could move the rear fairing all the way up and it will not touch the roof. I ran the front fairing all the way up without the trim and you don't get wind noise but at high speeds it has some flex and can vibrate. With the trim and the fairing all the way down, it's not a problem.

Good looking Rack and price. How wide are the cross bars? and if I loaded something longer than the rack and it overhangs, will the load also rest on the front and rear fairings. Would it clear the lightbar if I got the cut out?

Nice. Interested in seeing the standard length!

The crossbars are 2" wide and there are 8 of them. The front and rear fairings are adjustable so it may depend on how you have it set up, but they can be level with the crossbars. The light bar is mounted with drop brackets on the front crossbar so it sits lower than they do.

Great looking rack. What mounts do you plan on making for it? Awning/Rotopax/Maxtrax/Treds? How long until those mounts are available? Thank you

Is weather stripping a common item as part of a roof rack mount?
Will the rack flex down on the front fairing when someone is walking on the rack. I assume those front feet have some flex in the rubber?

I was going to install a clearbra on the roof and I am trying to figure out if that will eliminate the need for the weather stripping.

All those and more, awning/Rotopax/Maxtrax/RTT, etc..., should be in the next 30 days or so.

The feet will have some flex in them yes, but the front fairing shouldn't really flex down unless there is weight directly on top of it.

The reason for the edge trim is to protect the roof and allow you to press the fairing firmly against the roof without damage. Since the fairing is aluminum, it can flex/vibrate some at higher speeds, if it is adjusted up off of the roof. Some people seem to think it is for wind noise (whistling) but that hasn't been an issue in my experience.

I like the rear plate in the back. Gives it a nice finished look.

Love the look of this rack, if I hadn't already invested over a grand in my roof rack I would totally buy one of these

Is it the front fairing only impacted by the lightbar? Could I get the fairing for no light bar and then later on down the road when I get one just order the lightbar fairing?

Yes no problem, just call in when the time comes to change out the fairing. :thumb3:

There appears to be about a 10" gap between crossbars? It would be nice if the giant holes in the side rails were reduced in size and another 7 crossbars could be added to increase the available surface area. The slotted holes in the Prinsu design appear to allow more crossbars to be added.

On my 4th Gen I had a rack from African Outback and you could really load it up with gear and not worry about anything falling through the gaps. The rack was welded and quite rigid too.

You might want to consider a kit to mount a solar panel up front...the Renogy 100w should fit right in there with little trouble.

Nice job, probably my favorite of all the racks to date.

 

[PVB'Runner]

Ordered mine...

Looking forward to seeing this rack in person. Looks great, hope the fit & Finish is there as well.

If everything checks out, there really isn's a better option out there for a super light weight, no-drill, easy install, full aluminum roof rack that includes powder coating and shipping for $1k. You guys checked all the boxes for me.

The ONLY compromise, I had to make is to order a 38" ExtremeLED amber/white light bar instead of the 44" one I had my eye on to fit the 40" factory cutout option, but I'll survive somehow.

Hoping for a ladder & mounting accessories from Victory soon... Will probably have to go with Green Lane Offroad's aluminum ladder if y'all don't come out with yours quickly!

I have a sunroof. Will I still be able to open it up all the way with the full rack installed or am I limited to the short rack?

The only thing that will be close is venting the sunroof, but you should be able to move the third crossbar all the way forward to clear the sunroof. We haven't yet test fit on one with a sunroof. Worst case scenario, that third crossbar could come out and you'd still have more rack than the standard size.

Thanks for the reply!

Just ordered! I'll post back with pictures and any notes on installation. Thanks Victory!
