Thanks once again to help of MudLovingFJ, and my dad, i am now one more notch up on the cool list.
The install was easy, but tricky:
The fit kit was as hard to install as it was to remove the stock rack. I had to worry about snapping the bolt head off, or breaking the wrench in half, every half turn of the bolt. That is how tight the inner rack mounts are! The bolts were burning hot after a few turns. But now its nice and snug, and its not going anywhere
The touring rack was super easy, we just kept having to align it to get the bolts in.
The instructions for the tent, were for all vehicle applications, not just the fj. So we had to think about every step. Well, we eventually got it up, and on. It was definitely a fun install.
Now, not to be ****y, but i think my FJ is now the S***
. There are a lot of parts that make this up: Used mods, New mods, Über mods. Thankfully, im almost done (im lieing to myself). Last on the list, some skids, way down the road though. Then comes the little looky loo things..
