- More cargo area was in need. So I looked to the Instagram community and found Mark from my_first_fx. He already had a Front Runner Slimline II roof rack installed and it looked to be larger then the standard Front Runner kit. After a few messages on Instagram he sent me a very up close video introducing himself and his over-sized Front Runner roof rack. It was perfect!! Shortly after, Mark had sent me his parts list for his roof rack and this video picks up right after my parts had arrived.
Thank you Mark

I tried to order from Front Runner today and was told that they're coming out with a new Excursion Kit possibility as early as next week. Thanks for the video, I've watched it like 4 times!
Oh nice!
Thank you for watching!
Looks really good! Have you considered doing a full “walk around” video? I’d like to see some of your suspension and other mods you’ve done.
I’ve been getting requests for a full walk around lately, so I will definitely start working on one. I’m hoping to have that video posted in about a month.
Look beautiful! I love the extruded Al rails and the world of bolt down possibility they provide.
Me too! Endless possibilities, haha!!
I must admit ,I like your style! ;)
How has the road noise been with the full length rack? I am looking at getting this for my Excursion, and was wondering how the rack has treated you so far. Thanks!
just installed the full rack on my excursion and love it. One Problem, ITS CRAZY LOUD. I don't have anything mounted to the rack right now. Any tips? I see you don't run a wind fairing either?
Thinking about getting the full length rack for my excursion. You mentioned it was crazy loud. Were you able to mitigate this at all? Would you install it again if you knew it would be this loud? Thanks for any suggestions or tips on this.
Nice!! Can you post a link to order it?
Great Work.. What was total cost of the rack system?
Hey there, it was a bit tricky to tell, but does the rack mount to the original railings, or is the drilling that you did in order to install different rails? Thanks in advance
Dude I'm so glad I found your channel. I'm in the process of buying an excursion and I plan on building mine as an overland/bugout truck for my family and I.
How do you like the excursion/any issues with it? And is the V10 model reliable?
Nice! More videos are coming.
We love it. No major problems, just regular maintenance. The V10 is a really good motor, that motor is in a lot of different vehicles like heavy duty truck, motor homes, school buses etc. They are cheap and easy to work on, parts are available at pretty much any auto parts store in North America. The only down side is the gas milage, but even with that I would still pick the gas V10 over the diesel options, because of reliability and cost to maintain. I plan on doing a walk around video, but let me know if there something you would like to see I will try to squeeze it into a future video.
Have the product numbers changed for these items? They don't seem to come up when I search. Thanks
Could you share the part number for this rack?
That's awesome!! What are the overall dimensions of the rack?
It's 109" by 56"
I have the Front Runner tank holder and can’t find a tank to fit it. Which tank is that?
Here is a link to the tank I use:

What was the price for the parts?
Do you know the weight limit on the rack system?
Did the he rails bolt where the stock ones where?
The holes don't line up perfectly, so I just drilled out some hole on the new rails to match with the existing mounting hole on the roof.
Why 5 of one footset and 1 of the other?
The roof slopes down in the front. The 1 taller footset is used at very front to keep the entire rack level.
