Properly packing items, especially like this that is easily damaged in transit is essential. I just placed my order, and this is comforting to know. Thanks.
So I had an issue with rattling and I think it’s because of the carriage bolts on the wind deflector not being tightened enough at install. I actually reached out to Trailrax because in their video, they initially say to use the carriage bolts and nylon nuts but later, they are screwing into t nuts. They mentioned carriage bolts are the move but yes, your video is hands down better. Can you let me know how you mounted your heretic light bar? Did you use the t nuts you linked or carriage bolts that came with the lightbar
Just installed this on my Bronco Sunday. I must say, the quality is superior to most on the market, but I'll be dammed if the TrailRax install video isn't just plain awful. I wish I watched this instead, because some of your little tips/tricks would have turned a 4 hours install into a 1-2 hour install.
Can you tighten down the bracket to the factory bolts that stick through on the bronco before even putting on the wind deflector? It seems so much harder to tighten them down after the wind deflector goes on. It appears you can tighten the bracket to the bronco then add the wind deflector and then go from there to assemble the rest of the rack? Am I missing something? Mine comes tomorrow
I just installed a Roof Rack on my new 4 door Bronco from different manufacturer and promptly removed it 1 day later due the wind whistling at 50 mph or higher. It was brutal!. Did you have any issues like this at all with this rack?
I think It reduced it on mine. With a lightbar, I'm not sure if you can completely eliminate it as is my case. But I felt like it was noticeably lower then before. It definitely did not get worse.
Most people won't regularly be taking the rear top off, considering how difficult it can be (especially solo). The middle two panels are the only ones that really matter.

lol the jack/bucket combo…
It ain’t stupid if it works!
Surprised that Cowboys bucket didn't brake lol
We love our RockworkX bolts!
Great video, I was going to subscribe until I saw that Dallas Cowboys bucket! LOL But then I was reminded that not everyone is perfect. :)

I have a LasFit light bar on mine, but yes, I used the t nuts

Nice set up…you planning to put a tent up there?
No plans for an RTT at the moment, but I will transport the Gazelle T4 Tent up there (in the bag of course) and the Pelican case.

@@milehighgolden8791 you could try that, but you’d have to place those t slots exactly where they’d need to be and hope they don’t move any

Install time?
Where did you get your antenna from?

Hows the wind noise on the lightbar
Don’t hear anything until i get to about 75-80mph, then there is a little bit
Neat if you never take the rear top off
You can still take the front 2 pieces and the middle piece out. TBH, I don't care to take the back piece off.
