• Hint: Use a descriptive title for your new message
    If you're looking for help and want to draw people in who can assist you, use a descriptive subject title when posting your message. In other words, "I need help with my SUV" could be about anything and can easily be overlooked by people who can help. However, "I need help with my transmission" will draw interest from people who can help with a transmission specific issue. Be as descriptive as you can. Please also post in the appropriate forum. The "Lounge" is for introducing yourself. If you need help with your leather interior, please post in the Interior section - and so on...

What was your new added ground clearance vs stock with your lift and tires on?

I am not completely sure since I didn't take any measurements before to compare.

I know the stock height is about 68", mine currently is about 73"
From the ground to the middle of the front bumper it is about 15"
From the ground to the middle of the front wheel well it is about 35"

I was at Front Runner on Friday and we spent about 4 hours with their prototype team and in their shop. Here is the design they are looking for approval for retail.
It’s 49in wide and about about 71in long. It has a total of 9 slats.

Here is a progression of the different rack sizes I’ve been trying with them for almost 3 months.

I don’t have part numbers since it’s a prototype, but this is the final design. Once this has been approved it will be available on their website.

Is anyone running a Skybox or a non front runner ski/snowboard rack on their roof rack? I am trying to decide but we typically have 3-4 boards, dont really want to take off bindings if I dont have to and I have been thinking about jumping into a Yakima Sky Box.

Thanks

With that many just get a skybox. If you have a hitch on your Telluride you can get a Ski/Snowboard hitch carrier

Alonzo_Tigerhart Love the build out! Have you considered Rack lights and if so which ones?

How much MPG are you guys getting with this rack?
Got 18~20 in the city, which is normal I guess.
But struggling to get good MPG in the highway cruising at 70~75MPH.
21.5 was the best I could get so far.
Yesterday it was cold and very windy.
After 350 miles trip on the highway without carrying anything on the rack, I even got 17 mpg. 😭View attachment 23935View attachment 23936

Thanks for the picture, your deflector looks installed more clean/flush than some of the other pics I've seen. I've got a '23 Everlasting Silver coming in so was curious how it would look on the grey/silver colors and it looks great. How is this working for you one year in?

Looking to get the same wind fairing you have. There are a bunch on the front runner site, which one did you purchase?
 
Hi, after putting on the Rhino Rack Platform Rack, has anyone had trouble picking up satellite radio? It seems like every since I put mine on, the signal is weak and I'm assuming it is because one of the planks covers the top of the antenna. If you experienced the same, what did you end up doing? Thanks!

I just received the roof rack from front runner, their instruction is terrible. can anyone show me how to set up the mount bracket on the rails?

For foot grabs, you're right.
You should put 2 spacers for the rear, 1 for the front, no spacers in the middle.

What spacer did you use for them?
