Ford Bronco 4 Door TRMR Rack Installation Instructions!

[@allthingsbronco6042]

Just purchased mine at the Overland Expo NW in Redmond Oregon. Shout out to Hesston on working with my wife and I on all the questions we had! Can't wait to get it installed once we get it.

[@k1LLaak]

I didn’t even know about that event! How much was it there at the expo?

[@dnaadubose]

Would love to see a video of you removing the front and middle roof panels while the rack is installed.

[@gz4405]

Can the panels be removed once the rack is installed?

[@Jerome-qo8th]

@@gz4405 i can remove the front but the back seems too hard to do.. Im actually selling mine bc i dont need it

[@EugeneBelsky]

If you guys can’t provide couple of papers with printed instruction, please turn off monetization from instruction video!

When bolting down the front of the rack with the two mounting brackets on the mounting studs, I found it easier to remove the two outermost t-slot bolts and washers on each side of the wind deflector and then slide the wind deflector enough to expose the mounting bracket making it much easier to get a wrench in there to tighten the two nuts going on the mounting studs. Once you finish the first side, go to the opposite side and slide the wind deflector the opposite direction to expose the second mounting bracket. Once complete, align the wind deflector to reinstall the t-slot bolts and washers then realign the wind deflector to its final position even with each edge and tighten all bolts. Hope this helps!

[@TheCoyoteWayOverland]

I did the same but in my case I couldn't leave the logo backing plate on or it would hang up and not slide. It hung up on the logo plate bolts. Poor design of the deflector IMO.

[@TIMPORTER100]

Hello, what size are the hex nuts that are used to bolt the rack on to the roof in the accessory ready mount on top of the windshield? Are those 10mm?

[@trailrax]

The nuts that are used to bolt the rack to the accessory ready points on the bronco are factory spec 10mm metric nuts. The rest of the rack uses 1/4-20 imperial hardware.

[@jaimegutierrez3815]

Just installed mine today and it’s perfect!

[@peterkunc3929]

Great video! Thanks. I really hope TrailRax can make a side roof ladder like new Defenders have

[@BrooklynNY1979]

Mine will be delivered today, can't WAIT!!!!!

[@JoeChang-u2j]

Just installed mine. Y'all should probably update the video with a slide that points the viewer to the new part numbers. Other than that, it was easy in install and looks fantastic!

[@trailrax]

Thanks for your comment! Our team is aware of this hiccup, we are working on filming this and putting a video up that reflects the recent switch to part numbers instead of arrows which in turn has been easier for customers and that is most important to us.

[@derrick9439]

Which storage system/box do you have installed on the roofrack?

[@trailrax]

This Bronco is using ROAM adventure co cases with their Quick release system. Works great with our rack!

[@leadslapdirtnap]

I installed my rack on my Bronco but I need help with the Heretic light bar install.

[@trailrax]

Heretic and us are working on a helpful video.

[@RanchLife-NEBRASKA]

If mentioned in video, my apologies, but can one remove the front 2 sectons of the hard-top if this rack is in place? Thanks

[@trailrax]

You can remove the hardtop panels while the rack is installed. The front and middle to be exact!

[@ahschloth]

Can you remove the back panels too?

[@TheCoyoteWayOverland]

@@ahschloth The rack is clamped onto the back section so no.

[@iammatt2092]

Can other 40” light bars be mounted to the roof rack other than heretic?

[@trailrax]

Great question! There are plenty more out there. We currently have Baja Designs S8 which is most comparable to size in the Heretic. We will say the S8 pushes more light intensity as well, basically brighter. Baja S8s are in stock at our site.

[@Serenityindailylife]

Wait, when i put the foam on the bracket like you did, it kept sliding. Why dont you take the wax paper off so it can stick?

[@trailrax]

We did not apply the foam to the clamp for filming reasons. But you are supposed to remove the wax paper so that you as the end user can stick it to the clamp and install it for your Bronco.

[@OverlandingArmyVeteran]

NO DROP INS... And there are no accessories on your page for bolts/tiedowns for the rails... what do we use?

[@trailrax]

New orders from Early August forward get drop in cut outs on the crossmembers! It is a recent update, for past customers, there will be an upgrade program that is optional. We also have tie down point accessories, the Smiley. If not, you can use the side panels of the rack in the slots to tie down your gear! it is designed for it. Slots are also used as a mounting point for hardware should you need to use them. Then of course our crossmembers offer a great solution to mount even more hardware.

[@TIMPORTER100]

How are the Roam cargo boxes mounted on the rack? I have a Trailrax on my bronco and am looking to add some cargo boxes. I like the Roam but not sure how to mount it. Do you have any information on that? I don’t see any cargo boxes on the Trailrax accessory page

[@TIMPORTER100]

Found the Trailrax accessory page and looks like Roam + rugged mount is listed there so I assume the carriage bolts can slide into the cross bars.

[@trailrax]

@@TIMPORTER100 That is exactly right. The Rugged mounts or their new cheaper mounts will work on our rack with their carriage bolts provided. The provided carriage bolts should be 1/4-20 carriage bolts, if not, that is the spec of hardware needed to mount the rugged case mount to our TRMR Rack line up.

[@wiiiido]

Nice video the instruction are clear and easy to follow but I would have appreciate if you showed us how to removed the hard top and the stock roof bracket, it seems like you assumed that we already knew how which is not true for some of us. Beside that great video

[@kylerogers2617]

Are you pointing at the groove or the flat side with the d on it for the foam placement

[@trailrax]

We are pointing to the angled face. if you have any more questions, email us at [e-mail]

[@CurtisBrinkman]

Please make a version for the soft top, so many people have soft tops (oem and bestop) due to Fords hard top issues.

[@TatteredRoads]

When installing the PackRax you say to put washers under it, why? I put mine on then noticed you said that. Do I need to take it back off?

[@trailrax]

You do not need to take it off and redo it. It mainly is there to help center the Pak Rax lower bracket better.

[@KD.OVERLAND]

Lookin Good!!

[@Fuuzooo]

What wheels are those on the army green bronco?

[@hrdcoreRider]

Anyone know if this will fit the bronco raptor?

[@trailrax]

It will fit the Bronco Raptor! Please make note in your order notes or email after your order, we have to include extra washers for raptor orders.

[@mcalcourtney]

How long did it take to install?

[@trailrax]

Hey! Great question. For our team who have done it tons of times, we can put them on in about 2 hours (that includes putting it together). For someone doing it for the first time, expect 3 hours.

[@ramialshaikh576]

Can this be shipped to KSA?

[@chrishaugh1655]

Someone want to explain what the random rubber stops are on the back side of their pack rax that didn't come with mine?

[@trailrax]

Thanks for the comment! This was a part of one of our prototype units and is not necessary. Do not worry, the rubber stops served no purpose during the use of that prototype so there is nothing to worry about. You may ask why we left the holes there for it, it is for accessories or other mounting solutions you may need. email us at [e-mail] if you have anymore questions.

[@chrishaugh1655]

@@trailrax appreciate the heads up, thought I was missing something. My rax are going on today and I love my TRMR.

[@NeilFirth]

Does it Fit the Bronco Raptor? I think the hardtop specs are the same.

[@trailrax]

Yes it does!

[@elconde1986]

I’m looking to get one for my Braptor. I wonder how many inches tall is the rack after mounted ? I only 7 or 6 inches left before I hit my garage clearance limit. ?

[@HankMarducas]

After installing the pacRax brackets do you put the rear hard top back on? I didn’t see when to do that? Thanks

[@KenWatson-jq4wz]

I noticed that your cargo cases are positioned toward the rear of the rack. Is that because you are trying to reduce wind noise? I ordered the same rack and cases, but am waiting on delivery of the rack. Thanks! P.S. Great video! Looking forward to the light bar video too.

[@trailrax]

Thanks for the feedback! The customer wanted them positioned them like that. The best way to avoid wind noise is to get the boxes right up to the deflector so the wind is not hitting the wall of the box right above the driver's head.

[@KenWatson-jq4wz]

Thanks! That’s where I’ll mount them.🤟🏻

[@legitaddress]

The mounting brackets DON'T HAVE THE ARROWS as of 1/21/24. No updated instructions... If you're going to change a crucial part why not update the instructions??

[@trailrax]

Hey! Thanks for bringing this to our attention! We had made a slight change in part identifiers and we are actually in the process of making a new install video now. For now, please refer to the written instructions located on our site under instructions. This will give you the most up to date version of our instructions for your install. Thanks!

[@northfalls]

These instructions leave a lot of detail out. Orientation of the bottom pakrax for example.. there also seems to be parts added in the assembly that do not come with the package. Major steps are just glossed over without detail. Super confused. Tried calling, and no one is answering. Super frustrating.

[@trailrax]

Thanks for your comment. Orientation can be explained on the parts themselves that show a "D" and a "P" this will let you know whether those parts are driver or passenger side. For detailed instructions, you can find our instructions print out and PDF available on our website! Our customer service phone line is available from 9am-5pm MST M-F.
