Rola Vortex rack installed

[Icepuck72]

Bought from Largo, FL Trailer Hitch - 5th Wheel Hitch - Trailer Parts

Highly recommend. Free shipping, was here in 2 days. Easily the cheapest anywhere at $139.42. Ordered it Sunday, was on my porch today.

Installed it in about an hour, and that was with watching a 5 year old and a 3 month old and taking off my Yakima Rail Grab system.

Very nice! I need one of those before hunting season.

On a side note, I am about to plastidip my front grill and silver panels front and rear like you did...nice to see what it will look like on a white 4r like mine!

Thanks! I searched and searched, and this was the cheapest by far. Free shipping on something like this is a steal, and to get it in 2 days?? It's low profile which is what I wanted. Seems nice and sturdy. Clamped right to the cross bars. Can't wait to use it.

Here's the link to the rack. http://www.hitchanything.com/Rola-59504-Vortex-Rooftop-Cargo-Carrier-With-Air-Deflector.html

Go for it. I was putting it off and finally just did it. Makes a huge difference. Even my wife gave it a thumbs up....Which is rare. Here's my build thread.

Now you just need those ATO adapters when they rerelease them. Makes for much nice mounting.

How do you know about these? I googled and really didn't have any info on them.

Wow that is nice, it clamps right to the stock rack?

Yes sir! Fits like a charm.

Looks great on your truck. I am on my second one.(sold first truck). One recommendation. Where they connect put some gasket sealer or something to prevent water from getting in there. Eventually it will start to rust and after a good rain it will drip down the side of your truck.
Cant beat this rack for the styling and price!

They were shown on the "other" forum i think, maybe here, and someone just posted recently about rereleasing some in a couple weeks.

Any intention of getting the extension? I think it would look even better if it went the full length.

Throw some KC hilites up there and give it that classic offroad look?

I thought about it...was searching on here if anyone added the extension. It received good reviews on Amazon.

I was actually looking at putting some Rigid Duallys or knock offs on the fronts and rear. It would work awesome for when we go camping.

Looks great. Will probably get the same one from the same place.

Did u silicone the welds to keep the water out? Heard others had real problems with rusting within a fairly short time.
