**CLOSED**Front Runner Racks - Group Buy**

i was just wondering if the taller spacers they sent him were the same size as the front and rear

 

Ah, I see now. I missed that part

 

Frontrunner sent me 8 taller spacers and 10 longer bolts. You have to reuse one of the old tall spacers as your new short middle spacer if that makes sense. So you end up with the same geometry with the two front and two rear spacers being taller than the middle one.

 

I see

 

For those who bought the rack.

How would you mount the RTT on it?
I am thinking of getting the GEO tent and want to know if I need to buy those brackets or I can directly mount it on the rack.

I think you're going to need the mounts from FR, or you'll have to do some other creative work to attach it.

 

I bought those mounts linked above for my TEPUI and worked great on a SLIMLINE I.

I'll do the same for these newer racks (Slimline II) accept I don't know the GEO tent and if anything creative is needed as Mike pointed out. Good luck

 

Alright, I guess I should get those mounts, better safe than sorry.

 

I read on the geo website it comes with the mounting hardware so I think you might be good. Just asked the op of the group buy

 

For anybody still in this thread. I had the standard Oem rack so that weatherstrip won't work for me punching holes into it.... so I went to the dealership and purchased the Oem roof moldings that don't require the rack. "The thin ones" cost me $220 so I was like FOH so never opened the moldings going to return it if y'all have a cheaper better solution....

So this is my question. How'd did y'all make a weather moldings for the roof to get in between the crevices of the roof... is it the putty tape molding that's listed below from Amazon listed on the forum?

Thanks

 

Oem ones but not from dealer. Check the For Sale section for used ones or off Ebay. Can usually get them for about $50-$80 each.

 

What do you search on eBay?? Oem rooftop molding?

 

I might have been a bit unclear but I am talking about what you already had, just saying you can get them cheaper. Called drip moldings.

 

yeah isn't there cheaper ways? like where it says "Products Discussed in the Thread" down below at the bottom of the page it has "putty tape" did anyone go that route?

 

That putty tape is too soft and pliable for the drip/ditch molding. Once it heats up it's going to get more soft as well. I bought a roll thinking I would use it, and I haven't. Not sure what I'll do with it.

 

So what did you end up doing? I don't feel like using $200 on drip moldings

 

I just punched holes in my existing drip molding, and used silicone caulking.

 

Yeah about that.... I had the original Oem rack so that drip molding was a lot wider and unpractical to keep on the roof haha so I'm working on getting me some moldings.

 

Ah... I missed that part. Yep... eBay or the B/S forum for you, .

 

anyone else experiencing a drop in mpg? just took a 400 mile trip and got around 15.9 with 40 psi...truck is stock except for sliders and roof rack...
