    Is there an attachment to hook up some air to it? I have OBA too and wondering if this is a viable option...

    Kroil is also a really good option. Local gun shop might have some, as it's really popular with gunsmiths.

    I have SR-Ms on my rack. Fabbed up some mounts for them. Still have a couple sets of mounts for sale if anyone is interested.

    http://tsumaradesigns.bigcartel.com/product/backup-light-mounts

    With the mounts, I got the lights low enough to not block useage of the rack and use the rigid hardware that came with the lights.

    Let me know if you want more info.

    Those mounts look pretty nice. Do you know if they will work with other pod lights such as CaliRaised? Also, since these come in raw aluminum, what do you recommend painting them with? An finally, if I want a pair should I order them using the link you provided?

    They are made specifically for the SR-M lights, but will work with other lights that have .75" mounts with a central hole. The caliRaised bracket I have is 1.1" tall. It will still bolt on, but will not take advantage of the anti rotation slot that is milled into the bracket.

    I painted mine with no primer and the paint in the image below over a year ago.

    What do you folks use to protect your rack and it's powder coat from corrosion and such? Have seen some folks needing to refinish/paint and would like to avoid as I really do like the look of it as-is.

    Yep, I do that but like for some protection to be under there for when the rain washes it off :D

    Great! I bought some of that and apply monthly to the black plastic on my OR fenders and around the tailgate. Love the look of the black on SSM, but do NOT want to end up with faded / gray look. Assumed it was more suitable to trim work vs. steel or aluminum but sounds like i could use it on my running boards and the prinsu to help prevent sun and weather wear. What ELSE do you use 303 on??

    Those are super nice! As soon as my racks are in and on, you'll be hearing from me.


    Just seen these are sold out. Is that just temporarily?

    Dynatrac ProRock 60 Rear Axle, that is important enough.
    Any suggestions on this.

    Putting the spare up top for trips, when not on trips it is going in the bed, however. The weight is making the crossbars bow some so I am trying to figure out a way to evenly distribute the weight.

    The only one that does not bow is the front one as it is supported by the legs of rack itself.

    Can someone with the lightbar fairing on their 2nd gen do me a favor and measure the height of the fairing in the center? If it's not any trouble, I would much appreciate it. I want to know how tall of a decal I can fit across it, would like to go ahead and get the decal to put on when my rack shows up.

    I think he only had a couple remaining. I used the link. Maybe he'll fab up some more.

    What about two thin aluminum runners running the other direction versus the cross bars? You could possible even order two more crossbars and use them. That would distribute the weight.. and when not in use they could just be installed on the rack for storage. Please let me know if you find something that works. This was my plan once my rack came in as well.

    You could move the bars closer and or add a couple more cross bars.
