HOOKE ROAD Roof Rack...............Ubox-offroad.com

Yes that looks great! Thanks for sharing.

 

The front of mine is wayyy too close to the cab. Not sure why some of yours has about a half inch gap between the cab and rack.

Do the brackets that bolt to the cab side front to back specific?

 

Are those scratches from the rack?

 

No....that was already there when I had wires running down either side from a lightbar

 

You need to use the lower holes in the back and the uppers in the front, I did anyway.

 

I was wondering the same thing when I installed mine. Mine were touching the cab using any combination of the holes so I removed the side rails and re-profiled them with a grinder and repainted.

 

That's so weird...so some touch and some do not....

 

Very wierd. I also don't like the fact that it has so much rake. Unlike the Prinsu which looks level. I planned to fab a somewhat matching rack for my shell but I am not sure now how it will look because the cab rack is nowhere near level.

 

Yep. Would look much better with black.

 

I'm going to take it off again and try to reposition the brackets one more time....we'll see. I do think this is a very solid rack, though. Just need to get the positioning right.

 

Good luck I test fit for many times and still had to trim and nowhere near level.

 

I guess these are some of the things you gotta deal with with a Chinese manufacturer

 

Yes sir

 

Yeah...I just took everything apart and the brackets are all identical to each other...so there's no way to move any forward than I already am..ugh....off to HD I go!!!! And it's only going to be 110 heat index today too!!!! FML

 

What do you think about putting in an extra washer in the brackets to raise it up a bit??

 

Did you try putting it in the bottom holes in the back and top holes in front? Thats what i had to do and it came out like this.

I think i would do that before i would start grinding.

 

Interesting. Didn’t think k about that.

 

i was touching on the front with both front and rear in the upper holes, this was my only other thought other than washers. If i did it all over again i would have put 3 5/16" washers under every bracket hole.

 

Best practice for the washers? Put them down first inbetween the bracket and body...or put the bracket touching the body then the washers...

 

i mean... they only work in the desired manner by putting them under the bracket so i would say they should go there.
