sorry I dont have pics, but take a small screwdriver and pry it between the 2 peices where you can see they meet at and it should pop off and you will then have access to the bolts I believe you need either a 7mm or 8mm

Yeah, just saw that. Thanks. :D Not sure if I like the rails off either... I love the look of a roof rack, but I don't want that to impair my gas mileage. :roll: I guess I'll leave things as-is.


I run my rack all the time, of course I have it mounted down low and a big air deflector on the front. As far as mileage I have driven it with and with out and really see no difference, maybe a 1/2 gallon if that but I use it often so for me I just leave it on

If I was actually going to use a rack often, I'd probably consider it. At this point, if I put one on, it'll most likely be for cosmetic purposes... just because it looks more bad@ss than just the stock rails. :twisted: I'm really having problems justifying it. :roll:



you mean you have to justify buying things for your Jeep, if it looks better then thats enough justification for me :wink: You can always eat next week, or buy new clothes or pay the mortgage :roll:

I think mine looks better with it on, more like it should of been from the factory :shock:

I'm sure that if I come across an offer I can't refuse, I'll get one. For now, I need to still complete my under body armor. :lol: One thing at a time... or five things... yeah. I have more projects going on for it than I know what to do with right now.


me too :roll: right now my underbody has no protection at all :shock: I have 3 of 4 skids I just need to go and do it
