6,000 dollars - i'll even include a fit kit, high lift mount, axe mount, dual jerry can mount, 6 light brackets and a shovel mount . Should've kept the AO rack when you sold the rig to Christo

Buy a Front Runner, basically the exact same thing and in stock and available in the US.

Or wait till the next AO dealer in the US spins up.

Good time to buy a Front Runner rack, Camping Labs has a sale on now. $200 off and free shipping.

Go get yourself some delrin stock, have at it with an angle grinder, bolt some rain gutter mounts down and then pick up rain gutter towers/bars on craigslist for about 1/5th the cost of the AOs.

How about you take advantage of the Slee AO blowout?

Because Slee is sold out, at least that's what someone else posted.

I like what you did with the Thule conversion. Any more detail?
I want to do the same with my 2000, but need additional info. Thanks!

I think Loud got the last full length 100 series specific AO rack and mounts from Christo.

See if christo still has the 100 tracks, you can slide Yakima control towers with xbars in.

 

[spressomon]

You stole it

 

[1loudLX]

Yeah, from you maybe but I sure as hell paid a lot. The last three our four sold in one week last April, I was lucky to come back from nv when I did.

Is there any difference between the 100 and 80 AO rack besides the mounting bracket? I have an 80 AO rack with the gutter mounts, which bolt on to the rack. It's up for sale, has sunroof hatch and full top rail, highlift mount and half dozen eye hooks. $600

Well after battling the install of the new Front Runner Wind Cheetah for, going on two days and its still not on, centered and anchored yet, I'd never buy another one. Not that I can't do blacksmith work but this is ridiculous. Either pay someone to install it or buy the AO when available (assuming the AO racks are not a similar nightmare to install on a 100 series).

I'd rather do a 90K PM on my LC than do this again.

I take back everything I've said about "crapanese this or that". This FR takes the cake.

AO rack was a breeze, did it pretty quick with the help of an extra pair of hands so I wouldnt destroy my roof attempting to position it.

So, gears, steering rack and front runner racks are the three things you wouldnt do yourself?
