Just in case someone else run into the same problem I did: these no longer ship with locking washers, but have locktite (or an equivalent) instead. Dont think you are missing parts, you aren't.
@l.nguyen860 Жыл бұрын
I just got mine. According to the online instruction only the locking washers left out are those for the cross bars and to be used with loctite. For some reason, locking washers for rail-to-roof and for wind deflectors are also left out. Now I have to wait for their response to see what is supposed to be there.

Seems kinda cheesy to have the one silver bar even though it’s difficult to see once installed. It’s only an extra $2 to upgrade to black for a 4 foot section of 80/20 extruded aluminum. For a $700 rack, I feel like that should be included.

I guess I want to know how critical is it to make sure there's a seal around the bolt? Thanks again for the video!

Are you all going to develop your special edition roof rack designed for the Trd pro factory snorkel to be more functional as Toyota intended? It’s awesome you cut out a tiny piece to fit the snorkel head, but it seems like it was halfway thought out if you can’t even rotate the head of the air intake 180 degrees when driving in heavy snow/ ice like Toyota recommends. I may never have to rotate it but it’s one thing keeping me from purchasing this rack. What if I have to in the middle of a trip and literally can’t? Haha
@CBIOFFROADFAB3 жыл бұрын
The best way to deal with this is with a snorkel cover/sock. The rack could not be changed enough to accommodate the rotation of the snorkel head. That being said we have never had any issues with our TRD pro and snorkel in heavy rain and snow so I don't think you have anything to worry about.

Let us know if we can help with anything else!

too cheap to powder coat the bracket, and do you think , since there isn't any paint, they could mark where the nuts go so when you put the air deflector on they're all in the right location. Petty I know, but for the price? I cant take it anymore, for an ugly ass roof rack that costs way too much, you'd think they would send an install cd or something a little more professional, considering the money there making on some aluminum extrusions and erector set scraps, $200 extra for the black texture paint. send me two please.
@CBIOFFROADFAB2 жыл бұрын
I'm not entirely sure of what you are referring to but I'll try and answer your questions. I'm assuming you are referring to the silver crossbar that is used for the wind deflector. That particular crossbar is anodized just like the rest of them but it is a clear anodizing rather than black. We wouldn't want to harm the coating in any way to mark where the nuts go as that would weaken the finish. The wind deflector crossbar is different than the others so that is the reason that is is clear and not black. As for installation we have a great PDF install guide as well as a video install guide that work well for most people. We also have a great customer service team that is always willing to help with any install questions plus our tech is more than happy to hop on a phone call to get people taken care of. As always if you have any particular questions or concerns please reach out and we will get you taken care of!
