Assemble the rack on the ground. It’s easier to assemble the rack first then install it as one piece
on the Jeep. Be sure to orient the crossbars with the milled t-slot holes facing up. This will allow
you to add t-nut hardware for mounting gear later. Bolt the crossbars to the side rails using the
3/4" button head bolts and washers.
Install the edge trim on the front and rear fairings. Loosely install the trim on the front fairing
from point to point and trim the excess with a pair of tin snips. The leftover will be installed in the
center of the rear fairing.

Bolt the fairings on the rack, using the same 3/4" button head bolts and washers as the
crossbars, with the addition of flange nuts on the inside (3 per side for the front fairing, 2 per side
for the rear). For now, position the fairings up as high as they will go and snug the bolts. We will
adjust them down once the rack is on the roof.
Now install the mounts using the same hardware as the fairings. All of the mounts will be the
same. Install them on the inside of the side rails, with the mount bending outward.

With the help of a friend, place the rack up on the Jeep with the mounts sitting in the drip rails.5
Position the rack from front to back on the roof, as pictured. Install the outer mounting
brackets, leaving them loose until you have all of them started. We recommend using red
Loctite on the side outer bracket bolts. You could also put rubber or liquid electrical tape
on the outer mounts to keep them from marring your paint.

Adjust the rack up and down at each mount to level the rack. Then tighten up all of the
mounting brackets. Adjust the fairings down firmly against the roof. This will prevent
them from flexing at higher speeds. Dirt/debris can get stuck in the edge trim over time
and could wear on your paint. You can us 3M clear protection film on your roof under the
fairings to protect it.
If you are installing a light bar, install the mounting brackets onto your light bar (40" single
row) oriented as shown below.

Make sure all of your hardware is tightened and enjoy your new roof rack!10
Slide two t-nuts into each slot on the front crossbar. Bolt the light bar mounting brackets
to these t-nuts using the 1/4" bolts and washers. Position your light bar and tighten down
all of the hardware.
