So I got my Slimline rack installed today. I can't upload photos for some reason, so imagine a white Rubicon with a Slimline rack in a piney forest.
The install went well. I really took my time when it came to drilling holes in the roof. As dstock mentioned, I needed to drill 16 22mm (7/8"ish)...
Oh man, I'm sorry to hear that. Did you get any kind of refund? Sounds like you got a defective rack.
I'm pretty happy with my decision. I've been admiring the Slimline since before I even decided to get a Jeep. It looks like it should arrive on Thursday, which is perffect because I'll be near...
Hey thanks for all the input, everybody. I got an email from Front Runner saying they just got a shipment in an could send it out right away So I ended up going with a Front Runner Slimline. With the current exchange rate and shipping to a US address, a Slimline rack, a spare wheel step, and 2...
Oh yeah? You got any vacation time coming up?
What gets me is the shipping costs and the exchange rate. A lot of these companies ship for free in the US, but have to charge almost $300 US shipping to Canada (which turns to $400 CAN). There's a place in Eureka, and most border towns, where I can...
Thanks for the input, guys. I'm on the same page with Blink when it comes to buying only once. I'm not rich enough to buy a cheap rack and then get a more expensive rack next year.
This morning I got an email from Front Runner saying they just got a shipment of Slimline racks, so they have...
Yeah man, I don't think I've read anything bad about those racks. There's actually a dealer near here that carries them, but it's an 8-week shipping time. We don't get much summer here, and I need to go paddling asap.
It's a hard top, that I'm not too interested in taking off. I guess an AEV rack would work too, but I'd like full length.
Canoe in the summer, with drybags strapped underneath (which is why a couple bars wouldn't really cut it?), and skis/snowboards in the winter. Also to satisfy my own vanity...
I'm looking for a roof rack for my JKU. I really like the Front Runner Slimline and the Gobi Stealth. They both seem like high quality items, and I like how they look. The Front Runner is my favourite, as far as aesthetics is concerned, but I've read so many good reviews of the Gobi Stealth...
Right? I think it's a good post, man. Regardless of whether a person uses coolant or water in a pinch, those look like pretty handy containers at a good price. Thanks for sharing.
I want a flatbed because of the extra room it would give me. I don't know man, I've driven loaded flatbed pickups down some pretty gnarly "roads" up North and it wasn't so bad. You just have to drive to conditions and drive the vehicle you're in, you know?
I hear about not needing heat a lot...
There we go. The doors on that Callen camper would be perfect, but something like the Pheonix would be good too.
I'm not sure how big their furnaces are, but that is one thing I need I suppose. I was thinking about AT Overland's portable heater with an access hatch on the camper for the...
I did see that. That's a pretty cool build. I noticed he said the bed was 7x7, so that's basically what I'd be looking at (does 7' wide seem too much though?)
I haven't talked to them about it, but I'd like a huge door in the back so the whole thing would open up. Inside would be basically...
Noted. I'm not sure if I'll be towing too much with it with the camper on. I was actually thinking about getting a backup camera installed, so that will help if I do. Also, not to brag, but I'm a wizard with a trailer.
