This was the write up I was looking for! Thanks for all the details. I’m still trying to sort out if I should go with the factor option or third party. I wanted to get it installed with my build order but the compressor was one of those things the dealer told me I couldn’t have at the time, and now that they are willing to add it after the fact it seems quite a bit more coin than it did wrapped up with the car.

Got to use my Frontrunner roof rack this weekend and putting all the crap on the roof works out great!

Thanks. 275-60-20. I ordered mudflaps but the dealer didn’t execute. Can’t really complain too much as that was the only thing that didn’t come through

Today I used my rack to carry my paddle boards. Not carried them like this before. I also eliminated a little whistle that I think was coming from a loose wheel weight on the left rear. (1 of about 20 on that rim) My new KO2's seem to need a lot. . I also adjusted a little gap in the wheel well liner that may have been a factor. Not sure which it was but it's gone. Smooth and quiet even with the bulky inflatable boards up there.

Our October seems to be børked here in the rainy PNW

Default Lucky8 table install

I installed my rear door table from Lucky8. It was very quick, less than 30 minutes if you have done it previously.

No instructions were included. There is a video on the Lucky8 website, but it seems the design has changed from using wire cables for support to hinged aluminum pieces.

I like the fact that the table uses the OEM mounting holes and that the design is very simple. It might be nice to have a wooden board pull out, but I am using the table as a light-duty workbench and it works fine for that.


The table is pretty light and has a duty rating of 20 pounds max. Looks clean when it is closed.



Very simple and straightforward design. Does not block access to the rear pockets. I will be interested to see how it gets used ......

Enjoy !!

Default Lucky8 Proud Rhino Ladder

Installed the Lucky8 Proud Rhino Ladder today. Took about 5 hours going slow and scratching head a few times. Ended up removing tires, that step was not in the directions but made wheel well access much easier.
