Accessory bug - got my next accessory to install (Extended Roof Rails)

After plenty of research using this Forum and searching the Internets, I finally picked up my next Accessory to install: Extended Roof Rails.

Will let you know if I decide to DIY like I did my tail lamp guards or leave it to the LR service center to avoid potential glass roof issues.

Anyway, here she is..

Very nice. Where did you purchase them? Did you DIY?

I just picked up the extended roof rails also from my local dealer. I plan to install it myself this week hopefully.

Got them from my local dealer who came very close to price matching an Internet price. I have not had a chance to DIY yet, I need to go buy a 19mm hole saw.

I should get rails, cross bars and ski carrier tomorrow and I'll install myself too. I'll take and post pictures.

I got the Rhino short rails and cross bars for the RRS and installed in about an hour. Easy job and they work great.

wow, I procrastinated on this but got it installed over the holiday week. Very easy except for the part where you have to use a 19mm circular hole saw to cut into the trim. Also, I was not afraid of the glass while installing - it was not a factor for me.

...I need to go buy a 19mm hole saw.

I used a unibit step drill and then a round rasp to clean the edges of the hole. It worked fine.

I too installed the long rails over the holidays. Why anyone would pay the dealership to install these is beyond comprehension. I was quoted 4 hrs of labor for the job and it took me about an hour. I would be able to do it quicker if I ever had to do it again. The video earlier in this thread is great. Stuff like those videos and this forum give me a little confidence boost when doing work the truck.
