I finally got my Barricade roof rack installed. After waiting almost two weeks to get all the right hardware sent. I modified my stock bumper (thanks Phantasm), and pre-wired for lights. I went to put the cross bars on, and the directions explicitly state there are three sizes. Front is shorter, two middle ones, and a longer one for the rear. All of mine seem to be the same size- and I can't get a various on the front!!

Anyone have any idea what the lengths are. I am thinking I got the wrong set of cross bars.....

Thanks,
Bob

 

Got it on. Found out the bars are all the same size. I had to bow the front bar to allow install.....

Hopefully picture comes thru...

Looks awesome!. When u told me u bowed it I imagined bowed Down.. i just set my ezup canopy on it and bolted it up. When I removed the weight it bounced back to normal. I didn't tell ya about that sooner cause I thought it was just a flaw with mine

 

Thanks. Now I just need to decide what if any lights to put on.

I figured up to bring the ends in. Guess it didn't matter. I will have to try to put some weight on it to see if it will go back down....

 

How did you mount the rear with the stock bumpers?

 

Looks Great Bob!!
Glad it all worked out for you.

myunlimited, he followed my install post, see my sigblock for the link (GaragePro Roof Rack)

 

So what windshield light mounts are you using that fit with the rack? Not that I need them, but always wondered which ones might or might not fit.

 

Phantasm- to be honest, I am not sure. I got them from Quadratec when the lights and mounts were part or a deal. They are KC Apollo series.

As far as the bumper, I did follow Phantasm's write up. I think he may have a template for the bumper cut out- which I found out about after the fact. That would save you from multiple cuts. But it was not too bad with what is written up.

Let me know if you have any questions- it is still pretty fresh......

 

I'm considering buying this rack and basket as well. Were you able to install it with the stock bumper on? I'll be bolting on instead of drilling.

 

Hi, I'm new to this forum stuff, so please excuse me if I mess this up the first time. My son just got his first jeep jku and is starting his build. He just bought last weekend a Baracade roof roof rack. He has an aftermarket front bumper but a stock rear bumper. My idea was to drill a 2inch hole and feed it through the rest bumper. I read on your post that someone...(Phantasm) on this forum has a template for an exact cut on the rear bumper. I was hoping someone could tell me how to contact him or find a way to download the template, before we try mounting it. Thank you for any help you can give me.
