Go Rhino Overland Extreme Rack initial review! Is this the Rack for you?

[@jeepfreak38]

Great review! I just ordered one of these for my Mojave. Can't wait to get it set up. That tent is HUGE!

[@Overlanderoos]

Awesome!!! The tent is huge! Thank you so much for taking the time to watch!

[@shawnmobley2630]

Thank you for posting this. Very thorough. You answered the questions I had about the rack and I think I’m going to purchase and install it.

[@Overlanderoos]

Hope you enjoy it! We just spent the weekend putting it through some tough terrain and it did great! Stay tuned, in a few months we will be doing a follow up video of it since using it for a while now!

[@marceld6061]

3:18 The side bars are upside down. The "keyholes" should be at the top. If bolt on the item you have attached comes loose it can fall out with the hole at the bottom. If the hole is at the top, the bolt can slide down but it can't fall out of the track. I just pick up a used one and cut it down in width to fit my overland trailer. As for the plastic ends on the bars, I think that if they rate them for 300 dynamic and 600 static load, they must have done some testing? I hear Go Rhino's after-purchase care is pretty good. Let everyone know if you every break one!

[@Overlanderoos]

Thank you! Good Catch, I will get em flipped as soon as I can. As far as load testing, Those were my thoughts as well! I promise if I ever have any issues I will let y'all know so you can make informed decisions! Thanks for watching!

[@Billrovid]

I think this is one of the best systems out there and its not talked about enough.

[@Overlanderoos]

We've been enjoying it thus far! There aren't many videos out on it though! Thanks for watching, we will have a long term.follow up video out in the future!

[@joelsdobermans45]

@@Overlanderoos got mine today about 85% done installing it

[@peanderson]

Excellent review. You cleared up a few concerns I had, especially with the poly (plastic) brackets. Like you I would think that RD put some mileage and weight on these to see how they hold up overtime. Either way, I believe I am going to bite the bullet and get one for my JT. Just Liked and Subscribed! Looking forward to more reviews!

[@Overlanderoos]

I hope you love the rack! Thank you so much for your support! So far the poly is holding up just fine. I plan on doing a long term follow up after we put some trips and mileage on it.

[@dysfunctionalveteranforlife]

Not sure if this was asked beforehand but would a long footprint rtt clear the cab using this bedrack? Or should i use the quick release mounts to add more height to the rtt? I have a ‘23 Gladiator hardtop. Thanks!! Great video btw.

[@Overlanderoos]

With the quick disconnects you will be just fine clearing the roof I believe, I had to use spacers to get it over the soft top though! With out the disconnects I think you would contact the hardtop, but I'm not positive! Hope that helps!

[@overlandaf_adventures472]

My big thing with these racks is you need to be able to fit the tonneau covers. I would hate leaving my gear in the truck when I leave it. I really like this rack though. Love the side out fold table.

[@Overlanderoos]

Yeah, I was thinking the same thing. A couple other companies offer comparability with the cover as well as a softopper option which looks pretty dope. A decked system is another option, but I think I'm going to make a custom sized canvas tarp that will at least protect it somewhat from the elements. Rack is holding up great though!

[@overlandaf_adventures472]

@@Overlanderoos I have been researching bed racks for the past three days and still undecided. It's the hardest thing I had to purchase lol... I need have an xl tent so I want it to Overhang the roof of the truck. Needs to fit a tonneau cover. I would like aluminum to prevent rust. I love how the Rhino has the fold out table. That's handy for me. It's a nice looking rack. The tonneau cover is the big thing for me. Decisions Decisions Great review by the way. Was well done and gave me a good look at it

[@Overlanderoos]

@@overlandaf_adventures472 thank you!! Yeah the XL tent is something we had to deal with as you saw. I think JCR has some that are softopper and tonneau cover compatible. I feel you on the search, we watched tons of videos trying to figure it out!

[@Neveroffduty]

Great video, thank you for posting the link in the overland group. You have a new subscriber for sure. Very informative. I am a see it type person and looking at it, seems like it should be a good option for me. I also have the CVT tent, Wanted to ask your thoughts. Do you think if you used more of the quick disconnects on the bars that are not touching to "spread the weight out" that it may take some of that flex out of the bars you were showing? Just wondering if I should just order more just in case.

[@Overlanderoos]

Im so pumped the video was helpful for you! and Thank you so much for subscribing, you have no idea how much I appreciate that! I do think additional quick disconnects would distribute the load better and have them in the garage, just need to get them on. I will post an update once I do! I do plan to make a long term follow up video for this rack and any accessories we end up with! Feel free to send any video requests or things you want to see! we are here for you guys!

Rear Window protection, option? stuff sliding forward hitting window. Something we always had on the Ranch.

[@Overlanderoos]

I've not seen anything on their site about a head ache rack or anything like that. Might be able to use another companies product in conjunction with this rack but I'm really not sure. Thanks for watching!

[@PaulMartinez-l7x]

Hey....not sure if you'll answer since its been 2 years since you did this video...but I got this for my Silverado 1500... but on installation to the truck bed....its about 6 inches short...meaning they do not sit fully unto the truck bed/post...in fact ots hanging anteriorly... the dimensions on my truck bed is 63.5 inches from left to right...the rhino is only 57 inches width... any suggestions???

[@zodar1400]

What size tent is that CVT on your rack? I have a 23 zero walkabout 72 and I am looking at 10" of overhang so I need a full height rack.

[@Overlanderoos]

It's the largest CVT, the Mt. Denali. It's 86 inches long.

[@zodar1400]

@OVERLANDeRoos WOW! Thanks for the response, and that works for me. I just ordered this rack for my Gladiator!

[@Overlanderoos]

Nice!!!! Hope you dig it!

[@chuckjones984]

I have the same issue on my go rhino rack with the tent hanging over. If you do create brackets to go over the is it over the round front and back pipes to make the tent more sturdy I would love to see what you do.

[@Overlanderoos]

I have a few ideas in the works, I'll for sure post em up when I get them together!

[@lac5q]

Do you think that I would have the same roof problems if I have a hard top? I want to eventually buy a large 5-6 person tent for the family and will need to have it hang over the front. I'm debating between this and the Yahima HD Overhaul since the Yakima gives me a ton more flexibility since it's adjustable and could possibly fit a tonneau cover (if I can find one with t-slot later). Sadly, it doesn't look as cool. What are you thoughts?

[@Overlanderoos]

I think you would be fine. I can take actual measurements for you if you would like. We have the CVT Mt. Denali. its 86.5 inches in length. we have just recently centered it on the jeep better and have figured out the obnoxious buffeting it was causing. I really honestly think you would be fine with a hardtop but I cant say for sure as I do not have one. Let me know I can send some measurements your way to confirm if you would like! JCR also makes a rack that is compatible with a Softopper that looks pretty cool as well. The more time I spend with this rack the more I like it, its a great option! Im always available if you think of anymore questions! Thanks so much for supporting the channel!

[@NoExcusesOverland]

Hey brad, are you still using the same rack? If so, how is it holding up? Looking for a rack for my gladiator with a soft top. Thanks, Steve

[@Overlanderoos]

I am! It's holding up surprisingly well! It has gotten a little creaky sometimes off road but the fit and finish overall is still really nice. The hardware that holds the side and top slats have corroded a bit, but the plastic parts have not failed like I initially predicted they would and I have asked a lot of the them haha. Overall I'm impressed with how it is holding up! Let me know if you have any specific concerns or questions or want pictures of anything!

[@NoExcusesOverland]

@@Overlanderoos are you a fan of the 270 awning? How would it work with this rack? I really appreciate your help with my questions

[@Overlanderoos]

@@NoExcusesOverland huge fan of the awning despite not yet having one for myself! It would work great! Snag a couple of the awning brackets and mount it up! It would probably work fine with whatever brackets came with the awning but you'd have to look!

[@cedar542]

Hey man, really informative video, quick question.. I just got one of these used from the 2nd hand marketplace but it only came with 1 set of feet for the base. The instructions are somewhat ambiguous so I was wondering if you can show me a photo of both sets.. I have the factory trail rail but I think I only have the non-rail feet. Can you help me confirm? Can't find a picture of the rail feet attachment anywhere! Thank you in advance!

[@Overlanderoos]

Absolutely! The feet themselves are the exact same, you should have received some inserts for the trail rails that attach to the feet as well. E-mail me at [e-mail] and I will get those pictures to you ASAP! Thanks for the kind words about the video!!

[@Overlanderoos]

Just responded to your email!

[@zodar1400]

If you still have them and are looking to sell the two quick release mounts I would be interested in buying them.

[@B4Bronco6]

Any sort of hack to get a bed cover with this for security purposes?

[@Overlanderoos]

I haven't found anything yet, but believe me! I'm looking too!

[@chuckjones984]

I'm also having issues installing my power tank for propane bracket. I'd be interested to see if you are able to get one of those attached

[@Overlanderoos]

It's on the list for sure! What specifically is causing issues? From what I see it should mount right up.

[@chuckjones984]

The lowest it can go makes the tank too high using their rail system with a 10 lb tank.

[@chuckjones984]

I have a James brude executive James Baroud Evasion XXL rooftop tent. I have it mounted on the rail system but because the tent is so large I'm really only able to mount it in the center of the rack rail system and cannot take advantage of the front and back tube back tube system 2 give the tent more durability and less bouncing. I wish Go rhino had brackets for the round tubes

[@Overlanderoos]

@@chuckjones984 Im messing around with a couple ideas right now, I am in the same vote as you and hopefully they come out with some. They have said that they have more accessories in the works, untill then I am trying to come up with a home brew solution. When I do I will definitely post it either on here or our instagram, please let me know if you come up with something as well!!!

[@MexiChriS]

Dang it. At 11:01 it pretty much seems like it would not fit a softopper setup. I’ve been digging to see if it’s possible but seems pretty low to fit one

[@Overlanderoos]

Yeah, I spoke with Go Rhino and they said not compatible, and looking at it I don't see it fitting. Thanks for checking out the video!

[@Kuzzif]

Do you still like the rack ? I just bought one

[@Overlanderoos]

I do!

[@thekorky27]

I've had a lot of issues with this rack. First off, the instructions are absolutely horrible! Second, the powder coat is not very good quality and a bunch of my pieces were chipped and peeling when I got it. Putting this rack on with the trail rail system is doable but it's going to take a lot of work and ingenuity due to the fact the instructions are horrible. Some of the bolts they give you are not long enough and you'll have to purchase new ones. And some of my bolts that hold down the feet to the trail rail broke within the first month of using it. If you check out some of the forums you will see a lot of other people having these same issues. I've also seen one user that had the crossbars break at the welds.

[@Overlanderoos]

Some good points in here. I found the instructions to be satisfactory at best, but figure-out-able. Powder coating for me was excellent, albeit a few screw heads are starting to show corrosion. I have seen the troubles within the forums and are keeping a close eye on my welds as well. I really appreciate the feedback here and sharing your experiences!

[@jasonhersey6633]

What is the actual height of the rack. Can't find it listed anywhere

[@Overlanderoos]

About 22 inches tall from bed rails to the tallest point. I'd be happy to get you whatever measurements you might be looking for!

[@jasonhersey6633]

@Overlanderoos great. Is there an install video. I'm installing on my 2019 nissan frontier and I'm having an issue with it. The end caps bolts don't reach the slide in nut plates the way the installation show.

How much does your tent weigh ? And how Long is the tent ?

About 96 inches long and 200 lbs approx. With our sleeping bags etc stored inside. About 172 from the factory according to CVT. Hope that helps!

[@matej266]

@@Overlanderoos awesome thanks, getting my tent this week, it weighs 150lbs…I also ordered my go rhino quick release mounts like you have but I only ordered 1 pack…just wondering if I would need to order another pack to have 6 clips to help transfer the weight or if you think 4 clips would be good enough?

[@Overlanderoos]

Probably be fine with 4 but see if your tent calls for 6, I ran around with 4 for quite a while, I'd check your manual and follow their installation advice. I know the Mt. Denali called for 6 tied downs where the smaller only call for 4,.more would distribute the weight but it may not be necessary.

[@boistoys5451]

Is there a difference between Go Rhino and Rhino ?

[@Overlanderoos]

Yes, two different companies, with two different offerings into the market. I don't have any experience with the Rhino rack products other than seeing them!

[@Rain-hn2yf]

I just received this rack an i can say within 5 minutes I was instantly wondering if I made a poor decision buying it. They didn't install the 6 pressed in nuts on the one connecting tube that runs down the length of the rack on the bottom. Figuring I would just do it myself tomorrow I continued another 5 minutes to discover that on the upper driver side connecting tube they didnt tap threads into the thread plate that tie together the front and rear of the rack. Their QC is clearly straight shit.

[@Overlanderoos]

Wicked sorry to hear that! I would contact them, I'm sure they will make it right. I have heard alot of complaints about their QC but great things about their customer service. It does suck to have to go thru that process though! Hoping it all works out in the end! In about 6 months I'll be doing a follow up video on the rack, this is definitely a discussion point for sure!

[@oldmanjankins8812]

If your tent sat flush touching all crossbars you would have a better "footprint" for stability. instead of 4 or 6 "touchpoints"

[@Overlanderoos]

That was the original intention, however, if I sit it flat on the bed rack I am unable to clear the roof line so I am left with a large amount of overhang off the back of the truck! But I absolutely agree! Thanks for watching!

[@oldmanjankins8812]
