Awesome video bro.. I am going to remove my roof rack so that I can paint the top of my Jeep ... but this helps me a lot ... I didn't have any clue on how to remove it... now I know.. keep the vids coming... subscribed fan here...
Tim your white jeep was by far my favorite of the bleeping jeep family. gonna miss it but I like your style!
+Ty Martinez Thanks! I appreciate that.
My Jeep was missing the crossbars, but it had the "bumpers", in place of the side-rails. It wasn't all that bad, removing the bumpers, but one of the factory screws had seized up, in the housing, and the housing would just spin. Almost couldn't get it out. A needle-nose locking wrench did the trick. Afterwards, I coated the housing with gorilla glue, best I could, to hold it in place. Put some wd40 on the tip of the new side-rail screw, to reduce friction and further avoid moving the housing. It's holding strong, nice and tight.
Awesome video with good explanation. Thank you for sharing! Any idea how hard it would be to install a factory roof rack on an XJ that didn't come with a factory roof rack? Thanks.
Great video! I had a few nuts that were difficult to take off. PB blaster a day before and I was able to take most off. More blaster and I used a vice grip to my screwdriver for some torque.
Enjoyed the drop about Oregons dunes. Im from socal and visit every year. those dunes are spectacular.
Nice video Tim.
Cant wait to see what you came up with for the design for the new roof rack.
Keep the green Jeep videos coming!
+TMC XJ Thanks!
i am looking forward to a seeing what you make. i hope you go all custom. i have broke my roof rack cross bars and was just about to make a custom rack and can not decide if i should use the gutters or try to use the tracks that you just unbolted. thanks for the great videos!
Another reason to take them off on is that they eventually leak. I took them off my '93 for that reason then applied a little roofing sealer around the nuts. Problem solved, now I can install a new headliner :)
Did this last year and had the same problem with the same bolt
Where's matt's link for plugging holes?
Good info, thanks for the video.
Any idea what size bolt those are?
Are all roof racks put on like this - I have an Explorer - when it rains, its like a rain forest inside, water is coming in - could it be from the bolts going through the roof
I think you left out the links to how to plug the holes for cheap..
+wooo weee Yeah... Sure did. Its there now!
wooo weee funny
Tim, if i Just want take off the 2 paralels slliders is more easy?
I'm trying to replace my roof rails with full-length rails. Do I just drill into the roof of my Jeep or is there something special I need to do? Thanks!
Hey any help is welcomed , I have a 09 Chevy trailblazer , I’m looking to make it a ss replica , have the engine , rims , and now I need to remove the racks .. do anybody know if I’ll be left with any holes or ? If I do , will I need to seal it if so whats the best way to do that if not will rain or any weather impact the interior ? ..
I'm getting my Pathfinder painted, and they want to remove the roof rack to paint, but I'm worried it's going to tear everything up....any advise?
Aren't there some that go through the roof and bolt under the headliner? That would be a good video of how to.
Do you know of anywhere that you can get crossbars for flush roof rails? Yours look like they were flush to the roof. I have a 2012 Jeep Liberty and it has the flush roof rails but I can't find crossbars to fit it to save my life.
Once you remove them, do they have any resale value?
What is the center piece on the roof visible at 0:00
Anyone know the thread size of these bolts?
I took my roof rack off my 03 focus wagon looks so much better without it but one of mine nuts did the samething and I wasnt as lucky as because you can't hold on to mine it's not big enough so then came the bolt cutters lol
Why can I not find the video where you built new rack?
Makes me want to ADD a rack ti nt Cad CTS
I am curious if i was to build another roof rack to attach to these mounting point, would the mounting points be strong enough to hold a spare tire up there?
Russell cowger yes they would. Most roof racks will hold a minimum of 120 to 130 pounds
wheres the links to matts cheap and easy fix to plug the factory roof rack holes?
+John Irwin In the video description.
do you still have the parts you removed? if so are you willing to sell and send?
off topic, but is replacing the rear main seal on a 4.0 WJ the same as a 4.0 XJ?
+quadguy112895 Yep, sure is! Same engine.
Thought so. someone was telling me it was a different family from the other ones... Just making sure!
Thank you sir!
okay so the Jeep is from Canada, and when you were pulling the stubborn screw and said "come on" you totally sounded like "Bubbles" lmao
rivets m5 m6 m7 m8 ?
Don't you love working on awkward parts with one set of hands.

😄
