I have a 2018 dodge ram 1500, purchased this and was hesitant because I wasn't sure if it came with instructions and if I was able to do this solo.. after watching this vid, im going to attempt this today..
i just got one today for 229 at Harbor Fraight. i have a chev silverado 1996. i will install it tomorrow and ill let yall knoe how it goes. thanks for the info.
How difficult or cumbersome is it to remove the rear horizontal bar? In the event I need to load something that is taller than the rack. For example a refrigerator? Can it be done on the fly with some basic tools?
how much higher was it on cab like how many inches or feet did it go over cab? I got similar truck 02 chevy s10 similar size, my carport is 6' 3", im gonna raise carport anyway but still wanna know if it will fit under it or not
Hi Kory, do you think it could be mounted on a style side ranger? It looks like there is room for the supports to rotate around a little further, my stepside is 46" between the rails.
Maybe if you switched the left and right side uprights so they bent out instead of in. It's already pushing it on a compact truck as it's designed for a full size. I don't think there is enough room to angle it enough for a styleside without some custom fabrication.
I am having some troubles making it straight, plumb true. Do you have a trick that you did once its set ontop of bed? I am going to lock in the back 2 feet and see what goes next. I also still have all the bolts and nuts just hand tight, should I tighten them from the back to the front? Its obvi super wobbly, but I was kinda hoping you had a trick for making it square? Thanks and dig the vids man!
Thanks for the video. I was able to put mine together in under 2 hours with the help from this video. The only issue I have is the humming noise after about 50 mph. I tried duck taping all the holes in the gussets but didn't stop it. I'm thinking about putting something on the front rail. Just wondering if anyone else has come up with a solution?
Harbor freight. the same ladder rack is sold under three or four different brands, but it's all the same thing with different stickers. Harbor freight had the cheapest price with the coupon
Looks good but those j hooks are annoyingly long. They look dangerous almost, anyways ways I'm getting on today. I'll probably just trim em down. Did those j hooks come with the kit?
"Well done! You've done an excellent job. Keep up the great work." 😎👍
I should have watched your entire video. You answered my question about 3/4 of the way thru your video. Thanks.
I agree on the part about a hummer or a sport trac SUV being worthless.
Great job narrating. Thank You for sharing
I like this video a lot. Very educational...... He does have valid point's...
Hey buddy if you added some washers to your J Hooks you wouldn't had to ratchet strap it come on now you're a carpenter
Thanks.. I want one for a light weight camper. with sleeping on top.

Unfortunately he had an anger attack trying to install this thing and never made it through. He is now a divorced transgender woman
@@fernsader9261 thanks I'm worried that may happen to me if I buy this thing
@@tomforward990 oh no don’t worry. Everything’s gonna be alright.

Anything is possible
nice video. Have any idea how much the rack affected your mpg?
No change that I noticed
I saw a video where the customer complained of rust dripping on his truck from it and staining the truck.

I got it close and sent it with the impact gun. It's a cheap universal kit and won't be perfect.
Will this work in a Toyota Tacoma 6 ft bed

Just noticed on another site there is a wind deflector that mounts on the front rail.
Did it help
if you could give me the measurement of the ladder rack I have a Ford Ranger the same
Is rust coming out the holes and cracks ?????
I don't own the vehicle anymore
@@KorysRides Ok thanks
Would this work on a tundra with 5.5 ft long bed?
It should
Kory's Rides hey did you ever change out the j bolts?
How did this unit hold up For you??
Great video
It would look better if the hardware was black
will the legs sit on a bed floor?
Joseph Silverio not without some custom fabrication and leg extensions
Good job

Harbor freight. the same ladder rack is sold under three or four different brands, but it's all the same thing with different stickers. Harbor freight had the cheapest price with the coupon
