This really helpful

[@ashole2424]

4 x M6 screws seems really under-cooked for holding this base to the rails - has anyone added extra fasteners or more rails with their own M6 fasteners? I'm slightly concerned this might not handle potential lateral shear from offroading... Beside that concern, great install video! Very much appreciated.

Hi, helpful video. I have a rhino-rack 52 series pioneer platform. The slats are quite wide. Are you able to advise the dimensions of the bracket which clamps the roof bars?

[@giannidarui2459]

Hi, thanks for the informative video! Just wondering if you are supposed to peel off the plastic on the orange base or leave it on? Thanks.

[@trekoverland]

Its personal preference really however after some time if left on it can look a little tired and start to peel away by itself.

And all of this exceeds the roof limit of all the 4x4's on the market hence you wont be able to claim insurance.

This is why folks use a bucket rack system and place it over their tray ;-) I suppose this is why in the example it's attached to a SUV roof.
