2 years later and your video is still helpful. Go hawks!
Good work. Il like this running board. My only issue I feel the middle step is off the center when I go out or in. Do you feel the same way and does it cause any issue when in and out from the vehicle ?
@@johnshirbini5801 no, we don’t have any issues with it, it’s not in the way at all getting in or out of the vehicle.
Thank you for your service...good point on loosening the crossbars when raising or lowering the rack. Are you still happy with your purchase?
I’m sure someone said this already ( I was too lazy to search the comments) but put the metal plates that secure the crossbars on BEFORE you put the bars on. Leave them loose, take off one of the end caps of the crossbar and press up on the screws holding the plates while sliding the bar into place. Way easier. Just installed this myself, worked like a charm. Thanks for the Vid! It was very helpful.
What bungee do you use for the inside sorry mine was bought second hand d didn’t come with any
Dang that sucks! I use the ones that came with it. After some quick searching I can’t find anything. I would contact smittybilt directly.
are those boots are suitable for multi day backpacking?
Yes absolutely! But depending what type of hiking, you’ll find multi-day packers, often prefer trail runners. They’re light and dry out fast, but as far as hiking boots go, these are fantastic!
There are so many features of Yakima racks I like and was looking very closely at buying one after speaking to someone in the carpark at Derby in Tasmania. We wanted a rack for 2 x emtbs and will need to carry 3 x emtbs a few times a year. The 2-bike rack extension looked great; I reached out to Yakima for confirmation on weight limits that were not apparent from the web site. I discovered that if you ride emtbs (allowing 23kg or 51lbs each), Yakima Customer Support here in Australia advise they have no product in the range to carry more than 2 emtbs with a 50mm (2 inch) hitch receiver. Not sure if this is reflective of a limited range that is imported from America to Australia, but I recommend you get confirmation from Yakima if you ride emtbs.
React much? Your title was clickbait making it sound like the rack had an issue, not your truck.
No, see that’s where you’re wrong and why I made the comments the way that I did! Did you even watch the video. The issue has nothing to do with the truck, because the truck is standard! That’s the point, that people like you don’t get. The issue is not the truck, the issue is the clamping design is useless and serves no purpose and will only work on vehicles with a standard 2” receiver, which only exists on like Toyota tacomas, mid size SUV’s and cars. Meaning they cut out an entire demographic of purchasers who can’t use that product because it’s an unnecessary design, it’s a design flaw, that it pointless, if they had simply designed the product without that mechanism they could have sold 100’s of thousands of more units. You’re missing the point! The design limits who can buy it. It’s not an issue with the vehicle because 2.5” receivers are standard across the country! It’s not a truck issue, it’s not rare, it’s 100% a design oversight on Yakima that limited sales potential because it eliminated universal usage and versatility. Yeah there’s nothing wrong with the rack, but only a few people can make use of it. That’s why I’m reacting, I get those comments all the time from people whom are missing the point, don’t understand trucks, or buyer demographics. It’s not clickbait, it’s informing the entire truck driving community of how it works and why they can’t use it. Which frankly was a huge flaw and oversight on yakimas part. Because that clamping mechanism simply isn’t necessary and limited the potential of who could buy the product. If they just had a through hole, we wouldn’t be having this conversation and they’d have sold alot more. If you don’t understand the point from what I’m saying, then I don’t know what else I can say. It’s not the truck, there’s nothing wrong with the truck, it’s a standard hitch, there’s millions of em. It’s the design of the product.
@@pnwoutdoors8873 if you get these types of "comments" all the time, then you need to think about how you are trying to get a point across in your videos, titles, and thumbnails. I watched your whole video and I feel like I wasted my time since I was expecting something different than what your title talked about. The video made me think there was a flaw with the product when indeed there wasn't. The product listing literally says on the box it's for a 2 inch receiver. If you don't have a 2 inch receiver you can't expect it to work properly. A better title for the video would include something like "Yakima Racks Don't Work With 2 inch Receivers - Why I Returned It". Pretty much any SUV, midsize truck, and crossover has a 2 inch hitch. That's like 80% of the market. Even half ton trucks fall into that category as well so maybe that number is even higher. Large trucks and 2.5 inch receivers are not as common or you'd see bike racks sold with that type of mounting hardware.
Sooooo, if you have a rare 2.5 inch receiver, stay away from this model. Good to know.
Soooo when you have to explain things multiple times to folks who don’t have a clue, you get to be sarcastic! There is nothing RARE about a 2.5” receiver, it’s actually the most common one out there and is standard on almost every 1/2-3/4-1ton trucks! A simple google search will tell you that, and every single truck I’ve ever owned, my friends have ever owned, unless special ordered with a 3” has come with a 2.5” hitch receiver with the reducer sleeve. It’s not rare, it’s pretty standard. Hence the point of the video Mr. Smarty pants.
Best video and explanation, your filming angles were spot on. I have a tacoma long bed and will use it mainly for ladders. how is the wind noise?
Thank you I appreciate that. No wind noise for me that I’ve noticed. If I put a ladder up there is whistles lol
Must had a garage full of crap. I would have worked inside.
2 quads and a 47 Chevy 😅
Smittybilt recommends 3 cross bars have you encountered any issues ?
Nope none at all. It would be strange for SB to recommend 3 cross bars since 98% of truck racks only have two. That’d be a flaw on SB if that were the case. But no, never had an issue. SB provides pretty strong perpendicular supports, so not sure exactly where that info comes from. The trick is to not spread your cross bars too far apart, I did that in the beginning so my video is a little flawed, I ended up moving them in 3” on both sides, much better.
@pnwoutdoors8873 I agree as well but I remember it being stated in the instructions.. I agree can't see a beefy two bar being a problem
These are nice, but do they make one for a 2 door?
Those particular ones are for 4 doors, to my knowledge they don’t make a 2 door version in that particular style. But they have lots of other pretty cool looking styles for 2 doors. OEDRO is the brand.
Just saw this video. I recently had my Holdup Evo stolen whilst parked on the street (thankfully no bikes on it). Perplexed, I claimed insurance and had it replaced. After a few weeks with the new rack, I thought I’d give the rack a decent tug. Turns out even when tightened right up and locked I can slide the whole rack out of the hitch receiver (albeit with a bit of force). This is a standard 2” hitch. So be aware of this as it is clearly not a secure system.
Wow! Thanks for sharing man! Sorry this happened to you, but yeah I never trusted this design. I got a lot of flak from folks that I was being biased, or my truck was just weird, but yeah man, I figured this would happen! Sorry it happened to you!
❤
After wearing this model boot for 7 years, from autumn to spring,every day for 6 to 8 hours, I can confidently say- YES.
The older model didn't have that feature i just found out. It yad a threaded bolt which would gi all the way through.
How has the tent and annex held up over your time using it? I am currently looking at this for my rig!
great video! wish I could find a video of someone raising / lowering the rack!
Thank you, I’m glad you enjoyed it. Raising/lowering the rack is kind of a pain honestly lol. You have to remove the top bars completely and loosen a set of bolts on each upright. Make sure they’re all the same height, and reinstall cross bars.
@pnwoutdoors8873 That's what i was afraid of. I have the Thule xsporter rack, and it won't fit on the newer generation tundras, so im looking for other options. Appreciate the reply!
ICE crampons ... but are they good on wet rock ?
I’ve never had a problem, they’ve become a daily wear for me.
very helpfull to install on my new ford ranger next gen
Very good info. I do not like the locking mech or the smaller lock pin hole. Thanks.
Thank you! I’m glad you found it helpful. It’s really only an issue for large trucks, standard 2” receivers it’d work just fine.
im having a hard time finding a video with how well this tent does in the rain. was hoping to see this in your video since you are from the pnw like myself, but unfortunately it was not brought up. tyring to figure this out since its a option for myself to use at hunting camp
It honestly does just fine in the rain. The tent material is very thick (not counting the rain fly - it’s typical tent material but does its job. You should have no problems.
Love the "Barbie" paint job!
Special order limited edition color from the manufacturer- thank you!!!!
Love my annex (gen 1 xl & unfortunately single door)....
Thank you for mentioning that, I couldn’t recall, but I was almost certain the gen1 had 2 doors. I really wish SB had put two doors in it so no matter which side your tent was mounted on you had ultimate functionality. Thanks so much for watching!
What rack can get with ramboxes???
I’m not sure I know what you mean. Do you mean the fender storage boxes that dodge has built in to the bed fenders? If so, unfortunately this rack, and most racks will hinder your ability to use or open them. That’s an unfortunate downside to dodges design. It’s a good idea, but takes away a lot of versatility for the truck and mounting canopies, T covers, bed racks. Where you gain in one area you lose in another. If I were to offer my own opinion; dodges design; while well intended, well designed, didn’t consider market needs for truck and was overall just a bad idea, because it takes away from the concept of versatility we expect. In essence, it’s simply a gimmick and lacks functionality for the masses and really only helps a small niche group of folks. But again, that’s my own opinion. Now dodge might be an absolute genius in that they thought about this and they designed a whole bunch of accessories to accommodate that bed design allowing you to buy all the accessories; but only from dodge since it’s a proprietary design. My recommendation at the moment is to check with mopar and see what accessories they have, you might be surprised and they have something that works for what you want. I mean, it’s a truck, so they’ve likely thought about the possibilities and potential, but as far as the Yakima rack, I don’t think it’ll work for you. But I’m certain there are companies out there that have designed something, I’m just personally not familiar being a Chevy/gmc owner. I hope this helps, and if you find something, make a video my friend, I’m sure a lot of other folks are scratching their heads trying to solve the same problem! Thanks for watching my video man, means a lot!
to bad they couldn't get the rear upright all the way to the end.
So I have this and it came with all the stakes but I can't figure out how to stake it down. I guess I'm supposed to reroute all the straps on the bottom but I wasn't sure if that was 100% correct.
This video ended so suddenly I thought my phone was dead
Hitch mount bike racks are designed for cars and tacos, not full size trucks, let alone a 3/4 ton+ trucks. This video is just a tad overkill for a very niche subset of folks.
I’ll say this politely… you are inherently very incorrect about your assessment of the market for tray bike racks. It’s not a niche subset. Having a truck does not minimize the value of a tray rack any differently than a car. Imagine a bed camper, or a camping trip, or a million other scenarios where it makes complete and total sense to have tray on a truck. The issue has nothing to do with it being a car or a truck, it has to do with the unnecessary proprietary design that cuts out a huge demographic of purchaser, probably 40-50% of purchasing probabilities. Thanks for watching.
first video i've found that actually showed removing of the original rock sliders... thank you.
I’m glad it was helpful!
That looked painful when your elbow hit the bar at the 11:57 mark
Great video, I’ve been looking at these boots and your video helped.
Glad I could help
The way you pronounced Silverado….
Lol, yeah, just for fun !
Does the rail that the tents sits on come with it? If not where can I find one for a 2023 f250 super duty?
The aluminum colored rails that I’m attaching to the bottom of the tent do come with the tent. The rails that are apart of the bed rack (black ones) are bought with the bed rack itself.
Love that Jeep. 💙💛💚
I walked St. James way (Camino de Santiago) with these. Excellent boots.
Well Done, Perfect - Thanks
what bed rails did you use?
What do you mean bed rails? You mean what the tent is mounted on? The Yakima HD overhaul bed rack.
@@pnwoutdoors8873 yea the bed rack that the tent is mounted to.
@@Captain_Kdawg yeah it’s the Yakima HD OVERHAUL
Would this sit flush with a prinsu rack soda anyone know ?
Looks very nice. I love my wife, BUT I would not had done that in the rain unless she was there helping me Instead of the box. 😆
Lol, we live in Washington so that type of rain is so normal it isn’t even a nuisance, plus I wanted that stuff outta my shop! 😂
Thanks for posting. Can that external clamp be used to reduce the swaying on a car, too?
Yes absolutely
Just got my awning in and was not quite sure how I should go about mounting it, very helpful video!
That’s awesome! I’m glad it was helpful to you!
Great Video, thanks! Only video that I have seen where the tent is put up and taken down by someone with experience. The window cover poles should be put in from in the tent and gently bent up and hooked. Also few people mention the bungies which make folding the tent much easier.
good stuff. nice review. thats for the info. see you out there on the trail!!!
The covers on the poles inside are so when its cold those poles dont make you jump if you touch them in the night
Where is the rack system made? China?
I have no idea. I don’t want to assume it is because Yakima started in Washington state and it’s two primary companies are USA and AUSTRALIA. It’s possible it is, but I know they have a lot of state side manufacturing.
walker valley?
No
How have the held up? I’m curious about rust. I’m in the northeast and my NFabs started rusting after a few months.
Great question. They came with the coating rubbed off in some areas due to shipping which obviously rusted immediately. But overall, they’ve held up decent. We don’t salt roads here, so they’ve done well. East coast, I imagine that the rust/degradation process would be quicker. But overall, we’re happy.
@@pnwoutdoors8873 good to hear. Nfab is going to replace them so we’ll see. Thanks for the reply and great video! Keep it up.
Thank you so much! Really appreciate the support!
I just installed mine. They ship with a dedicated t slot mount now.
