upTOP Overland Racks and Accessories - NOW WITH FREE SHIPPING (CONUS ONLY)

Heh, that's a good time frame, I was just talking to a co-worker who has a Son stationed down there, I told him to send him a link to this roof rack. Came back here to see if anyone had posted about shipping time frames down there.

 

Yeah it was the fastest time frame to get a roof rack shipped to Hawaii out of any one I could find. I just got this thing installed tonight and it is in my opinion the most bad ass, good looking rack on the market hands down. I couldn’t be happier. Completely changed the look of the truck.

I’ll post pics tomorrow.

 

Awesome. I got the Bravo and the Mid Bed Rack. I can’t wait til they come in. Does UpTop send you tracking info or it just shoes up?

 

Should get tracking when it gets shipped about 21 business days from purchase.

 

Ordered!

 

Finished installing my bravo this rack is rad.

 

How long did the install take you?

 

3-4 hours I did it by my self which was tricky,
Hole punch tool is much needed. Glad I bought one.

 

So I was going to ask that...
Is it the one down in the link box at the bottom of the page?

 

All you need is a 19mm leather punch. They are about $12 off Amazon.

 

Yes, as someone that didn't use the punch, I second this.

 

Punch FTW, allows for the cleanest possible install

 

Thanks guys! I thought I saw it but couldn’t find the post again.

 

This reminded me I've been meaning to replace my drip rail molding and punch the holes suggested way. I just put the parts on order and I got a project for next weekend.

 

I also forgot to mention it’s really important that when you punch the holes that you hold the punch straight up n down. It’s actually quite a trick getting the holes straight after you mark them and then centering the punch on your line. Two of my holes ended up crooked and I had to punch out a side piece to get it in line. Also if you notice the holes are all a tiny bit off on the truck. It took some tinkering but I got it on there. Holding the punch with your left hand while you slam it with a hammer is gnarly too. Required maximum focus. I slammed my hand twice lol.

 

Thanks for the advice. The first time I did it, I forgot to buy the punch and, instead of ordering one and waiting, I decided to try and drill the holes. That ended poorly. I ended up cutting segments out of the molding for the supports. It's bothered me ever since, despite the fact I really can't see it.

 

Might have been brought up before, is there black hardware for the Bravo or only stainless option?

 

Looking at the Bravo. Does the rack take a MPG hit? And are there any light pods that are battery operated so I don’t have to hardwire? I’d be using those lights minimally only when camping.

I took about 1-3 MPG hit, depending on driving conditions, after I installed mine.
