Default Re: Boulder Accessories Roof Rack-Upgraded




So after a drive I started to notice that on large potholes I could hear the rack hitting the roof of the truck. Not really that big of a deal. But I wanted this to be right. The weight of the tire was flexing the rack. So I took the rack back off of the truck and found some rubber stoppers from Home Depot you put on the bottom of chairs. I put 8 of them under the tire its self and another 8 throughout the rest of the rack so if it had a load for anymore flexing it would flex very little and rest on the H2 roof quietly. (As a heads up I have walked across the roof of this truck and its Damn stout. I am no small guy either at 6'1" 200lbs.

If you look closely you can see the rubber stoppers between the rack and the ridges on the roof




When I wired it up. I used 6 gage power wire and brought it off the main fuse panel under the hood of the truck and routed it through the firewall and up over the doors into the rear drivers quarter panel. I mounted it to the wall and terminated it into a 1 into 4 distribution block. It is accessible very easly buy pulling the bin out of the interior fender cover. I mounted my 2 relays on the wall as well. I do not have a picture of it YET.

I ran 2 switches for the relays up front as shown below.


Here are some night pics, They did not come out too well but some of them actually show the light pattern.





So what do you guys think
