Thought I'd post something that might be of use to other members instead of my usual, "please help me".
Put the the terrafirma roof rack, ladder, and tire carrier on my truck last fall. A few tips and tricks for anyone else out there.
The roof rack comes with stainless hex drive bolts. Toss them aside and get some stainless bolts and beefy washers. Tightening down the hex drives is annoying and near impossible on one of the mounting points.
For the ladder I put a small bit of Xpel protective wrap over the paint at the top.
For the swing away tire carrier I tapped the mount post and put a zerk fitting in there. This makes a huge improvement in smoothness of operation.
