Roof Rack Debate

I’ve got the blitz front bumper also, have their sliders as well. Great products. People have had issues installing their roof racks though.

 

Your truck is freaking sweet man. Thank you for the info, you just convinced me to buy this right now. I only have a regular Leer 100XR with no reinforced roof. I only want a rack so I can add two pelican boxes for recovery gear as well as lights. Once I do get the rack, I want to add spotlights facing the front of the truck and a KC hilite chase light on the rear. Were Are you considering adding front spot lights to the rack as well? Again, thank you for the side shot!

 

I have a Leer 100XR with a Prinsu rack and two ROAM cases. Worked out great.

 

Thanks a lot...you should be fine carrying that much weight....no I haven't considered adding more lights to the front of the rack given between the hood light bar...40 inches plus a 30 inch on the bumper plus 4 other pair of baja design lights I have about a million lumens facing forward. I never liked those hood spots and light bars on roof racks or other spots don't look that great IMO. C4 and uptop overland do a great job of getting lights to look and operate integral to the design. Lights elsewhere just look kind of slapped on again IMO. I also haven't considered adding the rack over the cab..first you have to drill and since I don't need it for hauling or lights didn't do it and the look of my truck seems fine without it.

 

Did you end up getting that setup?

 

That rack you can mount S2pro's facing rear see my pics in an earlier post...you can get different configs for the lighting you want. I also mounted two more in my bumper and hooked them up to the truck bed light switch. Plenty of rear facing lights again that look more integrated.

 

Haven’t decided between this and trying to make my own. There’s a thread on here for a DIY rack where you buy the extruded aluminum crossbars and fabricate the side pieces yourself, which seems simple enough.

 

Good resource for extrusions.

I love the look of this roof rack. Which one? How much? Drilling required? How do you get cables to the inside?
