[@lostmurray264]

I'm so happy i found your channel. I have the same car and you've done all the mods and have the perfect information for me lol

[@4X4JUMPMAN]

Glad I could help 😊 Enjoy your Ford Ranger build journey 🤙🏾

[@markherbert4188]

Thank you ,saved me a lot of figuring out. I must say that labeling everything with the provided stickers seems pointless, but credit to you for sticking with instructions. Cheers

[@4X4JUMPMAN]

I’m glad it helped u…have a great week! 😃

[@Ooooozer321]

You saved me from doing something crazy to the car! Thanks

[@4X4JUMPMAN]

Glad I could help 😃..thanks for watching 🤙🏾

[@zophar9000]

Hi, the one you install, is it also for ford ranger double cab base model?

[@4X4JUMPMAN]

Yes it is 👍

[@martyaustria1152]

Thanks for the video, very helpful! Question though, how’s the wind noise? At what speed are you getting it?

[@4X4JUMPMAN]

Depends on the day how windy it is. Sometimes it’s over 80kms or 100kms. Other times I don’t even hear it.

[@spearing4262]

Best video :) 100% guided me through my installation on a bt50

[@4X4JUMPMAN]

Cheers mate 🤙🏾

How’s the roof going one year later? No issues with dents or scratches, or water leaks coming through the seals?

[@4X4JUMPMAN]

It’s been almost two years now. No issues at all 👌🏽

[@VideosOfRandomThings]

@@4X4JUMPMAN wow thanks for the reply! That's great to hear! I might look into getting them for mine! I'll be using for kayak and awning

[@DeltaMikeNoshoot]

Thanks for your content, i find it very helpful. Have you had any issues with water leaking where the clamps go into the door jams?

[@4X4JUMPMAN]

No leaks at all and I’ve had it for 2 years now as long as your door seal is intact.

[@DeltaMikeNoshoot]

@@4X4JUMPMAN thanks mate. I'll order a set in that case. I don't want to drill holes in the roof.

[@4X4JUMPMAN]

@@DeltaMikeNoshoot yeah I was the same I didn’t want to drill the holes.

[@tubefamily1]

Hi Mate where did you order this roof rack kits? Thank you

[@4X4JUMPMAN]

You can get them from www.roofracksgalore.com.au

[@mattbuscumb8799]

I am looking at getting these. Question can you install any rhino pioneer tray to them afterwards if you would like to customise it later on to carry bags or tents?

[@4X4JUMPMAN]

You will need heavy duty bars and mounting for pioneer trays

[@Corkfish1]

Unfortunately I bought a Rav4 and didn't even notice that it was a naked roof. I do a lot of kayaking and felt like I shot myself in the foot. Will this support heavy kayaks like a Hobie? Any potential problems with that application?

[@4X4JUMPMAN]

Check the roof weight capacity for your RAV 4…ford ranger is 80kg and can’t put more than 70kg. Less if going off-road and whilst car is moving. How heavy is your kayak? …installation is easy and very strong. Only limit is weight capacity.

[@Corkfish1]

@@4X4JUMPMAN the roof will handle it. I was more worried about the bars and legs holding onto the car tight. It weighs 70 pounds. I'm also concerned about rain getting in as a result of the clamp on the door frame.

[@4X4JUMPMAN]

Holds very tight as a clamp and no rain gets in the door. But you may need the front rhino rack tie downs for kayaks for more support.

[@Corkfish1]

@@4X4JUMPMAN I'm not familiar with those. Are they just basically cords? I have pretty hefty straps that I loop over the top and then through the interior of the car.

[@4X4JUMPMAN]

@@Corkfish1 it’s like this it straps on the front of the bonnet or your car. autobarn.com.au/ab/Autobarn-Category/Shop-our-Full-Ranges-by-Brand-%7C-Autobarn/Rhino-Rack/Rhino-Rack-Bonnet-Anchor-Strap---RBAS/p/RR02172?gclid=CjwKCAjwp9qZBhBkEiwAsYFsb1WKEvCjJIlJJ9pP0URd59Dg6wiuQspr6An67ajGSSqbewNr6uwUDBoCR-kQAvD_BwE

[@trisonangel123]

hey mate, does the roof rack kit has to match your vehicle model specifically or you can buy any rhino rack as long as its the clamping system?

[@4X4JUMPMAN]

Yeah it has to match your vehicle for the size purpose.

[@kevinjavier8430]

On their website it says its adjuatable height? If you dont mind, what is the total height from your roof to the top of bar? I bought this camper shell and it came with these unknown racks installed and im trying to closely match their height.

[@4X4JUMPMAN]

I’ll go and measure it and let you know…

[@4X4JUMPMAN]

It measures 11cm

[@RR-cg2rq]

Are the clamps made of plastic or metal?

[@4X4JUMPMAN]

It’s made of metal but has a soft rubber when you clamp it to protect the roof.

[@markcool8750]

Unfortunately, clamp mount is not better. The weight of the load will push the clamp mounts outwards, reducing the clamping force. Anchor mouth is alot more stable.

[@4X4JUMPMAN]

It has its positives and negatives…I can remove my roof rack if I don’t need to use it anymore and it won’t leave any holes in the roof..the roof has a load rating so putting more load on roof will reduce my 4X4 capability..putting a hole in the roof can increase chance of water leak if not done correctly using anchor mounts. Also installation will cost more unless you can do it yourself but not everyone can. Easier to clamp mount a roof rack and takes a few minutes.

[@jamesyong8006]

Does it wobble around , i had something similar before and the clamp scratch the car paint

[@4X4JUMPMAN]

Nope it’s heaps strong even when I hang and pull on it…it has a rubber padding on the clamp..just make sure you install properly ..a quality brand..but just can’t go over the load capacity as it’s not for heavy load👍

[@swordsinging1709]

Cool truck!

[@4X4JUMPMAN]

Cheers mate 🤙🏾

[@Robert60557]

What about 2020 200 series landcruiser?

[@4X4JUMPMAN]

I can’t see any clamp mount for the 200 landcruiser on their website..it’s best they are bolted on for more weight capacity. The only downside you can’t take them off if your not using them.

[@mrl5752]

Can you install a awning on these racks ? Thanks mate

[@4X4JUMPMAN]

Yes check out my new video i uploaded it's installing an awning on my vortex roof rack.

[@mrl5752]

Ok thanks mate

[@therealracks5409]

How do you know we're the stickers ment to go

[@4X4JUMPMAN]

It tells you on the instruction paper

[@IzalOliveros]

you can put cargo rack on that right?

[@4X4JUMPMAN]

Yeah you can as long as you stay with in the weight limit.

[@IzalOliveros]

@@4X4JUMPMAN thank you! U are da best!

[@IzalOliveros]

@@4X4JUMPMAN is it 165 Lbs?

[@4X4JUMPMAN]

@@IzalOliveros cheers mate don’t forget to subscribe for future ford ranger episode 🤙🏾

[@robertdoherty4394]

Was the last shot at the KFC at Emerald Hills lol

[@TheLightTour]

I'm looking for some good quality bars. I bought some cheap ones on Amazon and the fit is terrible. Can I ask how much this kit was?

[@4X4JUMPMAN]

They are between 350-450aud for the set. Prices have gone up unfortunately.
