This you on your last ride?I was a renter for many years so when I bought a No-Mar tire changer for myself I got a hitch-mounted version.
After a ride last week my motorcycle tires started to show signs of wear.
You’ll love the half roof rack. I have one as well, and there’s been zero wind noise or concern with it. TOR is great too - if you’re missing a piece of hardware they’ll likely ship it to you.Today I installed my Turn 1/2 roof rack. Assembled it last weekend but waited for my son to help me lift it onto the roof. Fast and very protective shipping, everyth was wrapped in dense foam and plastic and the voids in the box were filled with spray foam
unwrapped everything, lined it up and assembled the rack
aligned as per the video and mounted to the roof
added the side pieces, which are the reason I chose this one over others, and this where I discovered an issue. The side piece hung over the edge that the front roof panels fit on. I unbolted the side pieces and anchors and slid everything to the back of the channel and bolted the side pieces on as far back as possible
On their video the also recommended to align the rear section at first to the lengthwise sections, after feeling it I moved the bars more to the center for more stability. The rear section could have been assembled on the roof, since it all needed to be loosened and aligned anyway
overall like the look, we’ll see how much noise and overall performance when we go out later today
only a couple of small negatIves; no instruction book or parts list, there was only a video online. How about a pdf at least that I could download if I wanted? Also not any extra washers and bolts, drop and lose one and hope you can find one to match.
If anyone offered to pay me $7k to replace my hard top with a free soft top I would turn them down. 7 years with a JK with softop and 3 days with a Bronco soft top rental from Turo are all the data I need to want to know that I never ever want to do this again. In fact I almost swore off the Bronco after driving that Turo rental for a weekend, it was freakin NOISY, even relative to the JK. YMMVInstalled the soft top, which was a giant nightmare. On and off at least 6 times trying to line up and adjust the Brackets. Thank God you only have to do that once. Next time the bracket will be in place.
But now that it's on, I absolutely love it, another Bronco level unlocked...
Ooofah. Wife's Solara way back in 2009 had spiders. We never get rid of them so got rid of the car. Maybe your stuff will be stronger than what we used. I remember having the spider guy come three times. Good luck

Dadgummit man, that tire is so thin I can almost see the air! ;-)I was a renter for many years so when I bought a No-Mar tire changer for myself I got a hitch-mounted version.

It occurred to me my hitch-mounted setup may pose a challenge. But the tailgate swings out far enough for me to get it done.
Is that all pinstriping on the side or just a bunch of dirt? I‘m in SoCal too but have not hit up Gorman yet. Seems like I’d need a nice detail post-ride.I couldn’t wait anymore. I went to Gorman off-road park and broke my Bronco in.
