TrailRax Modular Roof Rack For Your Bronco

[Aman]

We will use CAD to test! No need to worry about being a guinea pig. We appreciate the offer though. Like we said, from our previous R&D it will allow the sunrider to fold back but will not rest all the way down. Hope this answers everyones question on this topic.

Would you mind providing us with some CAD images? I'm concerned that the fabric on the Sunrider will be damaged by rubbing against the rack.

Here's some photos from a recent install of a 2 door bronco half rack. Here you can see how close the deflector comes to the front panels. We still haven’t gotten the chance to confirm fitment with a Sunrider, hopefully these pictures help give a better idea.

The rack looks great, but not sure it will be compatible with the Sunrider. Hopefully you can get a 2-door with the Sunrider to confirm.

finally got around to finishing the modification to the trailrax rack.
I posted the results in a thread I started under the ‘exterior modification’ sub topic. Let me know what you think.

here’s a photo of a dry fit just to check wiring.

I have my trailrax with flat wind deflector delivered. I already have RTR roof lights. Similar attachment as the KC’s.
I’m going to try modifying it, hopefully this week. I’ll post here or start a new thread with my findings.

Just to confirm, are all of the fixtures, bolts, etc. rust-proof? (Stainless, powder-coated, aluminum/titanium, etc.?)

 

[jaeggernaut]

‘Rust proof’, yes.
The only things I added were bolts (stainless) and electrical connectors (waterproof).
everything else were part of the either the RTR Off-road light bar or the TrailRax TRMR rack.

here’s the video I made:

LOL, sorry man, I meant with the base TrailRax system itself! But nice job on your install too!

 

[jaeggernaut]

Thanks.
The entire rack is aluminum. Some of the hardware is stainless. Not sure about the black bolts and washers but I’d assume they’re ‘rustproof’ too.

The black bolts are black oxide stainless steel bolts.

The black bolts are black oxide stainless steel bolts.

Awesome, thanks!

Been hearing so many stories (different products, different companies) of aftermarket Bronco accessories rusting after 3-6 months. I'm willing to pay more for products that are built right and will not rust (including nuts, bolts, fixtures, etc.).

Being that our rack is mostly made of aluminum, rusting is very rare. There are some components that are steel because they have to be.

We use a 5 stage Iron Phosphate wash on our metal components before the zinc rich primer is applied. It is then topped off with a fine texture powder coat.

Because of the diverse environments our products are used in (mud, salted roads, rain, and other factors that are out of our hands), there are bound to be some cases of rusting. While it is rare, it can happen. In the off and unfortunate chance you do see rusting, please reach out to us, and we will do our best to assist you!

Build quality is top notch. And their service is even better.

@Bestop_Team Do you think this half roof rack would cause damage to the 2 door sunrider? I think a lot of us would love to have an option to roll a rack and a sunrider.

It would be sitting on the fabric...so may also void Bestop warranty. Not to mention, there will be extra stress on the frame - once "parachute" mode is engaged.

This is really unfortunate, because one of the main reasons we need a half rack - is for the Sunrider.

Bummer, because I really liked the TrailRax setup.

I ended up buying the smaller one from BadAss Tents, yesterday. I'll post pics in another thread once installed. I want to respect this Sponsor's thread.

Just installed mine, happy with the results!
