In the meantime try to stay somewhat thawed out!
Roof racks etc.
Moderator: volvite
Why are racks on sites such as 4x4parts.com so much more.
Mainly how can they charge so much and not give dimensions on their website...?
Has anyone ever ordered 1 of their roof racks?

The rack is that large!!! LOL, now that made me laugh!
Lex is our 122 pound Doberman, he don't take kindly to a stranger calling him tiny!
As for the rack, I found these guys great to work with. Shipping etc, they did a good job. I had the rack shipped to my work station in Canada and got screwed on customs however that is so common its not really a factor anymore.

Glad it worked out for you Pappy! I can't see the pics here at work (I really should be working anyhow - lol), but I'll check them out tonite. OR, I'll just see the real thing tonite as UPS is saying my rack will be delivered today! I ended up pulliing the trigger on buying my rack before you posted your success story...just couldn't help myself.
I'll post some photos here of mine as well!
...also...I'm planning on adding a pair of KC dayliters to the rack...anyone have any good tips on routing wiring from the roof rack into the truck?
THANKS!!

For light mounting...I did some digging and Warrior Products makes aux offroad light moutning brackets for various diameter tubing...including the 1" that this particular rack is made with. It look like about $40 for a pair of brackets.
The new rack was indeed waiting for me when I made it home yesterday. Unfortunately, it wasn't in the best shape when it came out of the shipping box - a number of scrapes and surface blemishes, and one of the tube ends where the (2) rack halves slide togehter was crushed into an oblong shape and had to be pounded out to fit. It also looked like someone had already opened/tried this particular rack as there were opened, empty hardware bags in the box, though nothing I needed seemed to be missing. It's not worth trying to ship it back/return it for the scrapes/scratches...I'll just touch them up myself.
Hopefully it'll warm up this weekend so I can get the rack mounted and take some photos...

Well, considering this particular model is pretty cheap for what you get, it's not all that bad (though one always hopes that a new item actually looks "new").
If the rain will hold off on Friday, I should get the thing mounted up top...hopefully...before the temps go below freezing again this weekend. The aftermarket stereo is arriving today, and the light mounts for the KCs should be here soon so hopefully Friday will be "Upgrade the Pathy Day"
