More videos on this truck man!! Love it!

[@AlldogsOffroadCoop]

More to come! Very soon

[@achall29]

Is there a full build list someplace on this truck? 2015 Nissan Frontier Pro-4X

[@maxbertrand1313]

Nice looking unit right there

[@jonjones665]

I love the way it looks. I have an '06 with the stock rack still on it. Are there any adjustments needed for removing that and installing this NISMO?

[@BrianWest58]

Looks pretty good! If only the logo's lit up, that'd be cool.

[@AlldogsOffroadCoop]

Yeah I agree, however, they unbolt super easy! I'm sure someone either sells them or even could make it happen.

[@rambocabales9830]

Noice!

[@AlldogsOffroadCoop]

VERY!!

[@jasonhersey6633]

Did you have to remove the roof drip molding to put the bracket in the channel.

[@AlldogsOffroadCoop]

Nope

[@mtcheve]

Are the bars on the bed rack and the bars on the roof rack at the same height or are they slightly off? Looks great man - Eve

[@AlldogsOffroadCoop]

They aren’t identical heights. He installed RTT risers on top of the cross bars to get his tent to clear the roof rack.

[@josematinez9821]

They should make those adapter for a roof light bar mount without drilling.

[@randyadamietz8798]

Have you happened to notice any leakage coming through the weather stripping of the doors from the mounting pounts?

[@daywalker4029]

Not yet. It hasn’t really rained with it on yet though.

[@randyadamietz8798]

@daywalker4029 okay kool thanx. To install this nismo roof rack, do I need to have a pre-existing rack on my rig? I have the regular '19 sv no rack stock

[@daywalker4029]

@@randyadamietz8798 no. This one works with trucks that didn’t come with the factory rack.

[@Jaylakhaili]

How did you get the roof brackets to grab tightly. Im having trouble clamping mine on

[@AlldogsOffroadCoop]

We installed the mounts loose and then put the roof rack on the mounts. Tighten the bolts up that attach the roof rack to the mounts then tightened up the mount bracket bolt.

[@Jaylakhaili]

@@AlldogsOffroadCoop it worked. Thanks

[@Rico0chet]

does it at least feel pretty secure? seems kind of flimsy just clamping on top like that.

[@daywalker4029]

It’s secure. I questioned it also but it’s good to go.

[@D41Pat]

When i tightened everything up the rear brackets are flat but the fronts arent. I guess i got the fronts brackets switched?

[@AlldogsOffroadCoop]

Could possibly have them switched around. We had to loosen up everything and then slowly tighten each side down to get it to set right.

[@D41Pat]

@AlldogsOffroadCoop I fixed it. You're right it was switched. My door jam clamps aren't totally flushed (one or two) but I read forums online and some had the same issues. Side note, what would you recommend for a 4 inch lift? Not a big offroad fan but I'd like to have more clearance without going the RC route lol. Would you recommend something like a coilover set to 3" with a 1" body lift to achieve 4" total lift? Or a coilover set at 3" and add a 1" top spacer similar to the nisstec coilovers?

[@vincentwinters431]

need this rack, but can't figure out if your website is cad or USD?

[@AlldogsOffroadCoop]

We don’t sell the rack and our website is USD.

[@mikemorgan4670]

Good looking rack, suits the truck nicely. While I appreciate the no drill installation the mounting brackets don't inspire alot of confidence. Maybe I'm missing something?

[@brandonhouk9737]

These style clamps are super popular in the aftermarket rack market, thule and yakima use these style clamps, all they do is that clamp on the door jamb,they look loose when they are not connected to the rack but once you drop the bolts in it pulls that clamp tight to the door jamb

[@tyguyt]

What is that bed rack system?

[@AlldogsOffroadCoop]

Its made by Kuat.

[@TrollRabbit]

Max weight is only 150lbs. So, it's just for looks.

[@basscannon762]

If I remember correctly most drilled roof racks are between 200-250lbs so not much lost. I could be wrong

[@basscannon762]

I am very wrong the Prinsu bolt in rack is “600lbs dynamic load capacity and 1,000lbs static load capacity.” 150lbs is enough for clothing or solar.

[@tenncutt]

So honestly, is it a piece of shit?

[@bannedtwice7767]

😂😂😂😂😂 I'd actually like to know myself.

[@sapperROSS]

Mounts like a pos. Will just rub the paint and cause rust like roof racks that clamp on

[@AlldogsOffroadCoop]

was a pain to deal with but overall, seems to be just fine. again, he isnt going to be applying a ton of weight to the rack either.

[@jasenswick7725]

@@AlldogsOffroadCoop can always install a piece of 3m clear bra to where the mounts touch the body of the vehicle. I did that with my roof rack for bikes on my last car and it worked flawlessly. Just peeled it off when I got rid of that car and there was no damage.
