You're missing the sleeves that go in the center of the rack where your rubber plugs are... should be 8 total for this 64" rack...

Great video! Replacing the rear ones on my father's 04'. They are ROTTED! So I was quite confused how to get them out. They just disintegrated. Thanks

I feel pretty confident about this one working. I’m thinking about trying a combination of fiberglass/furnace cement and then wrap it up with the fiber heat wrap. My leak is where the manifold meets the downpipe so it’s super hot but I’m trying anything to avoid paying over a grand at the shop. 😬

Did not even show the windshield fairing attachment. Not too detailed

Is the rack a 64x39 or 64x50?

You didn’t explain the hardware where all the bolts go 🤷🏾‍♂️

Great to see a video of a father with his son bonding in this way. Lost my dad at 12 so for me this was a heart warming video haha.

Can i use this on header pipe. The hole is in the very front close to header

Thanks

Thank you, very helpful! I just discovered mine on my new-to-me tahoe were rotted completely away LOL

Hi! Looks Fantastic, Should Work!!

That's Fantastic! Congrats, Great JOB!!

Thanks for the review... how has this held up over the years??

Thanks for showing how this is done. I was thinking of getting one for my suburu so this helps alot

Why yellow ??? Black would blend in better

What was your rack size width/length?

Threw sum pvc pieces in between those gaps n in the middle where it’s weak thnk me later n paint them black to match

Fail

THANKS FOR THE GREAT TIP MY FRIEND BEAUTIFUL FAMILY

Is the board still working?

Why didn’t you use the spacers on the fairing?

should i live to your words or music lol?

How long did it last for

Looks good. I assume you fabricated something out of a steel strap & clamp to replace the hanger. Good luck with it.

waiting on my 64 to be delivered. I'm installing it on my 2021 4Runner. Thanks for the tips.

Do yourself favor & save your cargo from being stuck and poked from those knobs & threads on the U-bolts. Turn them upside down, with the U-bolts inside the rack & the knobs (or as I chose, nylon aviation nuts) on the bottom. Same strength, same system. Since the metal bracket is now below you factory cross bars instead, the only thing inside the rack is the flat end of the U-bolts. And that isn't even as tall as the tubes running from front to back. Oops, sorry...I forgot to tell you "GREAT VIDEO"

Its probably more reliable if the repair is after the cat because less heat.

Just ordered my rack yesterday and have plans to have at it with the mig welder and bed liner before it goes up

Thx Brother ✊

This is the exact set up I'm going to try and go for. Thanks for the visual on how you mounted it.

I’m going to try this since I just bought a 92 Chevy C1500 and it has a decent size hole in the exhaust just after the muffler.

Cool set up.

What are speed and range like

How many layer is the minimum and can you cut it and do 2 spots

i gotta do from header to tailpipe for my fix=leak, not a busted-hole, hole-wrap-job or new-system, being cheap bastard my truck can handle wrap-job ----lol :-) i hopes ----------

Can I use this on my flex pipe?

The music does it for me!!!

I bought it but I have not used it yet,

How long does the fiberfix fix last

why does the rap smoke when the car heats up after setting over night

Just looking to buy this patch for a pin hole leak- thanks for your videos my friend.

Thanks for this video does it still hold now?

It strikes me as poor design that the bolts attaching to the roof rack protrude up and can snag suitcases or whatever. Maybe cut them off? But then the treads get buggered up unless you have a re-threader.

Nice! 2 Cans of Black RustOleum Anti UV on all Pieces before assembly. Then a Coat of Clear Matte Anti UV. While it's not needed, I'd plug up all the tube holes either with plastic black tape, or plastic plugs. Yeah, Rap Bedliner turns it into a $500 Rack for about $120 total! Great Video!

I tried this product 3 different times and it went on easy. I followed the directions to a tee. I only got about 3 or 4 days out of it until the exhaust blew right through it again.

Any update 1 year later?

This was the best video for my use. I had reviewed several. It was very straightforward, gave list of tools and to the point without too much hassle and equipment. I replaced the bump stops and shocks in the front end of my 2004 Avalanche Z66.

good luck, keep safe and God bless your family. thank you

I just bought one of the 84" versions of this rack, and I think the entire neighborhood heard me as I struggled with assembling this disaster. Between missing parts, misplaced holes, parts that would not fit and needing a ratcheting tow strap to pull it together to get the "slide in" attaching points to fit together, I pretty well turned the air blue for several blocks around (be sure the kids' tinder ears are not around when trying to build this junk). I had to use different bolts in several points as the ones supplied would not fit (holes were either in the wrong places or the threads were not correctly made and bolts would not tighten), and the bolts are made with such cheap metal that if you do manage to get the supplied hex wrench to put them in, the wrench strips the heads as you tighten them so the bolts can never be removed again. The 84"x 39" dimensions listed on Amazon are not the actual sizes (closer to 79" x 37") due to the steep angle of the front which makes the forward 6" or so useless. I managed to dent the bars on the rear trying to use a mallet to drive the "slide in" joints together, then figured out you need a ratchet tow strap to do the job, so be sure you have one available. To fit the extension section in you have to first press the left and right sides of each into each other, then press two connecting shafts, and 4 endcap sets in all at the same time, and hope the holes line up to bolt it in (which they won't do). When putting in the flat side supports in make sure you do NOT tighten the bolts until you have them all in place as they don't fit very well and I even had 3 of the holes not fit at all (had to use metal screws instead of the provided bolts). All in all it took about 90 minutes to assemble this beast with a lot of tugging, pounding, and swearing along the way.

Why doesnt anyone flip the bolts around? The one that hold the basket to the rack, that way they dont point up, instead they point towards the roof
