To whoever is buying this rack, set up is very easy. Parts are lightweight and strong. The front fairing piece that needs to be preloaded *does NOT need to sit in the weather strip channel* dont be like me and fight it for a day and a half trying to get both to sit in the channel. Product is amazing. Love all the extra hardware. I also opted out of the second cross member so i can still see the sky with with my sunroof 😂 this is a great purchase and great quality compared to the other racks going for +1200 dollars! And shipping is quick. Dont keep searching get this rack if you are thinking of one! Great job guys!

[@BackwoodsAdventureMods]

Thanks so much for the feedback! We're glad you're happy with it.

[@drewjtaylor]

This design is on point. Love the chase light feature

[@BackwoodsAdventureMods]

Thanks Drew!

[@ryrossssin]

can y'all add slots on top and side of the cross bars to add carriage bolts? having to take off the cross bars to add hardware is a major pain.

[@pringledinglefringle8824]

Having that bumper shows off the suspension curious what brand control arms and where to get them

[@joejoe8117]

What is static/dynamic weight rating.?

[@Brotatochip702]

What’s the weight capacity of this rack???

[@davidbeezley6161]

This is an awesome rack! Looks great on Jolene

[@BackwoodsAdventureMods]

Thank you David

[@Ramiel77]

Hey guys, what's the total weight of the rack installed? I am curious how it compares to other brands. I am quite interested, would just like to compare specs

[@armsdealer6192]

Can you mount lights on the sides? Thank you.

[@rbenson7180]

I Purchased this rack and installed it. Went great using this video as a guide. Looks amazing! Works better than it looks! Make sure you add more than enough silicone - ask me how I know :) . Evan and team, how about a video for the 40" pathfinder lightbar install for this rack/4runner? Please?

[@BackwoodsAdventureMods]

Thanks for the support!

[@tmcintyre6]

What silicone did you use?

[@sashavekic6892]

Does it come with silicon?

[@aajordan1]

This would be perfect for my adventures in Saudi Arabia. Im looking for a product just like this for my 2010.

[@ayodangit]

Does the fairing touch the roof? And any exterior molle panel work with your rack?

[@BackwoodsAdventureMods]

It does not touch the roof. There's slotted adjustability, so you could bring it down to touch the roof or you could move it up to have about a 3/4" gap or so. We made it adjustable. And the Rago Fab molle panel does work with our roof rack.

[@davidclark-j9f]

You put the hard mounts on the front. But you said they go on the rear. Can you clear up wear the mounts go again please?

[@BackwoodsAdventureMods]

We made a revision to those mounts. The angled hard mounts now go on the front with no block. 3M tape will go underneath that mount and sit into the channel. Give us a shout if you need help!

[@makariussulit]

Any ladders in production? we would love to! , to match the drifter rack. thanks from NEA🤝🤝

[@BackwoodsAdventureMods]

Unfortunately, nope! We just make the rack.

[@simon4runner]

Great design👏

[@BackwoodsAdventureMods]

Thank you

[@javierduenas3732]

Shouldn’t you use red loctite on the mounting bracket bolts instead of silicone? Silicone is used as adhesive and to seal stuff lol

[@BackwoodsAdventureMods]

No, the silicone is used to seal the holes against any water intrusion from rain/etc.

[@AdrianGarcia-qq8jx]

What are the specs for Static and Dynamic weight?

[@BackwoodsAdventureMods]

It's very difficult to test and answer these types of questions because we are not a vehicle manufacturer. Most of the load weight comes from the mounts on the actual vehicle. Most aftermarket racks similar to ours have similar weight capabilities. It will hold a roof top tent and 2 to 3 average people easily.

[@furious7515]

Great design! New subscriber! We are about to buy a 4 Runner and I will most likely be buying this rack!

[@BackwoodsAdventureMods]

Love to hear that!

[@eric4698]

No full fairing option for those that do not want a light bar? Deal killer for me and increases wind noise..... I so wanted to buy this

[@BackwoodsAdventureMods]

No other option, but it's extremely minimal of a light bar recess. Its basically a full fairing. And we've sold hundreds of these without any complaints so far of increased wind noise as a result of not running a light bar. Hope this helps!

[@eric4698]

@@BackwoodsAdventureMods damn...I ended up getting a Prinsu

[@patriciopalavecino6618]

The middle and front are not hard bolted to the roof?

[@anthonylambert404]

The middle is, the front uses a preload from the other two to disperse the weight.

[@phillyfathead]

I’m confused as why you don’t answer any of the weight limits questions for this rack??

[@lol-dw9ny]

So it doesn't come with the lights correct?

[@BackwoodsAdventureMods]

It does not.

[@matthewmoser2090]

when will these begin to ship?

[@lnnon]

I know this is late but I ordered mine a month ago and got it in like 4-5 days getting into installing it today so I revisited this video lol hopefully it goes quick!

[@bashi_bazouk_]

Silicone in the threads…. Thats just a hard no

[@BackwoodsAdventureMods]

This provides the best possible way to prevent water intrusion.

[@joelee8478]

Use anti-seize if you're feeling reluctant about the silicone on the bolts

[@javierduenas3732]

I see this requires drilling. Hard pass😭

[@BackwoodsAdventureMods]

This rack does not require drilling at all. Not sure where you saw that.
