- DIY Rhino Rack Install. How to install Rhino Rack Vortex Bars on a MR Triton
I installed some Rhino Rack Vortex bars onto my 2020 Mitshubishi Triton MR GLS and I made a video incase it helps some one out trying to do the same thing.
It’s an easy DIY job that will save you a couple of hours of labour charge from a workshop and it should only take the average person about 2 hours to do.
No drilling required into the roof, just into the rubber strip covering the roof ditch.
YOU are a bloody legend!! Cheers, mate!
Thanks mate. I appreciate the comment.
Thank you so much for your help mate. I just fitted some Pro Rack's to my 2018 Triton and this video was a massive help. Especially with drilling the rubber strip. Absolute Legend.
Too easy mate. Thanks for your comment. It means a lot to me to see it was helpful to you.
Measure twice, cut once. Or in my case - measure 16 times, go to cut but stop and measure again first 🤣
Haha. Mate I do the same.
Still helping people out! Didn't think I could do it myself, thanks for the video, cheers from Perth!
So glad to hear mate. Thanks.
Doing this job tomorrow so this was gold mate! The guy at the shop explained to me about the little bit of metal strip on the underside and to cut it away and the hole a little bit offset to middle, but I didn't really get what he meant at the time, I do now! Cheers mate, and will check out some of your other content soon too.
So glad to be helpful mate. Good luck with it.
I always use lock tight on all external assemblies. Especially the bolts holding roof racks. Hot Tip.
Good idea mate.
Awesome mate! Definitely helped me fit my feet without making a mess of them! I didnt know about the metal strip either. Keep up the good work 👍
Thanks for the feedback. Love hearing that I’ve been helpful to someone.
Cheers.
I bought a rhino rack today. I thought what are the chances of a tutorial for the extract same rack on the same car. And there you were. Nice one mate. Awesome tutorial. Appreciate it!
Haha. Love it. Too easy mate. Hope it helps.
@@AdventuringPals hey mate. Do you get any whistling from your rack? Once I hit 60km it starts whisking pretty bad.
@@firstlag I have so much stuff on my roof that I don’t notice anymore but make sure you put the little strips top and bottom. I remember that made a big difference.
@@AdventuringPals I forgot to put the bottom strips on 🙄 Thanks for taking the time to respond. All the best mate 👍
@@firstlag all good mate. Hope it helped.
Really helpful video mate, only walkthrough I’ve found that’s given me enough confidence to try it myself. Will give it a crack this weekend. cheers!
Thanks for that comment mate. That’s what makes it worth while making these videos. I’m sure you will be ok. It’s a pretty easy job with not much that can wrong.
Managed to get it onto the roof no worries! Thanks again mate, really helpful 👌🏻
@@danielblanchfield6568 that’s awesome
mate. Well done.
Well done. I like step drills. Russell
Thanks Russell. I had some step drills should have used them.
Pretty detailed video. Thank you
Thanks mate. 👍
Good job mate 👍 .I put on a set of these on my Pajero . Just don’t lose the key like I did 😂
Thanks mate. Yeah I’ve lost the keys to them before. Hopefully these will stay in the glovebox.
Huge help mate. Much appreciated. Merry Xmas to you and the family.
Too easy mate. Merry Christmas to yours too.
Helped a heap mate! Cheers!
I’m so glad it did. Thanks for letting us know. Have a great Chrissy mate.
@@AdventuringPals merry christmas mate
Hey @AdventuringPals you didn't have to drill into your roof top?
No. There is nuts already in the gutter.
Awesome video champ and very helpful, I'm looking at getting a set for my MN Triton.
Thanks heaps for the comment nate. Much appreciated. I had the clamp style in my MN but I prefer this as the claps get dirt trapped in them. Not a big deal for me but it may bother others.
@@AdventuringPals Thanks for the heads up Bruss
@@smarty8772 too easy.
I have a MR triton with Mitsubishi roof rails, can I add a flat rack to them?
I’m not sure mate. Sorry. But if you take it to an independent accessory shop they might be able to help you out. Big suppliers might just want to seek you their brand if stuff.
just got a set home. the instructions are hopeless from rhino rack. my end caps on the bars are locked and won't come off
Oh no. Well I hope at least this video might have been some help.
Hi guys, just wondering what type of work do you do?
I enjoy watching all your videos
Hi mate. Thanks. While on the road, the wife was doing locum work in medical. I was staying home and looking after the boys.
Hey mate. Great video. Do the Vortex bars allow for T Track accessories to slide in the channel? Like Maxtrax Mounting Pins for example? Thanks in advance.
Hey, thanks mate. Yes I believe that they should work. But I haven’t tried them on this particular set of bars.
Hey man is this similar to a MQ?
Not sure, but I think it may be.
Did you have enough rubber lengths to fill all the gaps? I have not cut mine up yet but it looks like I don’t have enough
Nvm I just found it the measuring strip is what you put on the underside
Yup that’s it haha. Thanks for watching and commenting anyway mate.
Hi,
Had my rack fitted but i needed to tighten the footpacks as they seemed loose - still not sure if they tighten enough. On the instructions it mentions to tighten to 3-4 NM, how does on tell?
do you tighten the bolt pretty tight or until the rack is tight - any help i would appreciate
Hi mate. You can get a torque wrench to get just right. I didn’t have one so I just made it fairly tight without going as tight as I could. Just re tightened after a couple of days of driving and it’s been good. Hope this helps.
