Yakima HD Crossbars Roof Rack Kit Installation - 2021 Ford Explorer- Video

Yakima HD Crossbars Roof Rack Kit Installation - 2021 Ford Explorer

Hi, Matt with etrailer. Today we're gonna talk about our Yakima roof rack system on top of our 2021 Ford Explorer. Now this gonna be a great option for you if you're looking for something that's gonna be really heavy duty and it's gonna be able to keep a lot of your accessories on top of your roof. Maybe you've run out of room in the back of your car, because we do have three rows of seating. So if this is packed full of people, you might run out of space faster. Or if you're already using that space for other accessories or items, then you might need somewhere else to store your extra stuff. more

Rhino-Rack Vortex Aero Roof Rack Installation - 2015 Ford Explorer

Today on our 2015 Ford Explorer we're doing a test fit of the Rhino-Rack Vortex Aero Crossbars. The part number for our crossbars today, they're RRVA137B-2. For our foot pack that clamps around our raised rails, we're using RRFX005. Now we already have our front bar installed. We're going to show you how we put this last foot pack on here and then how we actually install our crossbar onto our vehicle. Everything that you see on this table is included with our kit. The only thing that you'll really need to provide yourself is a flat tape measure or a tape measure of some sort just to measure out that crossbar spread and the overhang. more

Yakima Roof Rack Review - 2015 Ford Explorer- Video

Yakima  Roof Rack Review - 2015 Ford Explorer

Today on our 2015 Ford Explorer we're going to be test fitting the Yakima RailGrab system. This will be part numbers Y00409 for the bar, and Y00138 for the RailGrab feet. We already have our first bar up on our roof, so I'm going to show you how to install it just by doing the rear bar. It's the same process for both bars, so to save time we're just going to show you the one. I'm a little vertically challenged so I'm just going to set that up there while I hop up here. Helps if you have a friend do this so they can grab it from the other side, but you can do it yourself if there's nobody to give you a hand. Now our maximum crossbar spread that we can have on this vehicle will be 46 inches, which is pretty wide, so I'm going to put it to about here and we'll take a measurement on either side to make sure that that's even. more

Whispbar Roof Rack Review - 2015 Ford Explorer- Video

Whispbar  Roof Rack Review - 2015 Ford Explorer

Today on our 2015 Ford Explorer Limited, we're going to be doing a test fit of the Whispbar Bar-Mounted Roof Rail System, Part Number WB-S47. As you can see, we have the factory roof rails installed on this Explorer and we've already assembled and put on one of the Whisbars, so that's what it will look like when it's on there. This is spaced out to where we'll have a 28-inch crossbar spread. This is about 11 1/2 inches off the back and mounted just right underneath of the middle bracket for your factory roof rail system. Pretty much as far as you can get it under there, so it's fixed and ready to go. We'll go ahead and show you how the front one goes on. So, just go open up the door here and we'll step up. more

Rola Roof Rack Review - 2015 Ford Explorer- Video

Rola  Roof Rack Review - 2015 Ford Explorer

Today on our 2015 Ford Explorer Limited, we're going to be doing a test fit of the Rola Roof Racks Sport Series Roof Rack System. This is going to be 55 inches long and if you look here we already have our factory roof racks and one installed on the backside. A few things I want to show you on this is that if you undo the end cap, this locks and it will actually secure your foot pads in place for coming out as well as if you undo this one here, it will undo the turning mechanism that loosens and tightens with the rod here, your threaded cable and this will tighten up your tension around your bars. We'll go ahead and get it on here. All right we already mounted up our back one here to right behind the factory fix point and we are going to mount this one between 24 and 32 inches for our crossbar spread. We are going to come in a little bit here. We'll say 29 inches and once we've get it there we'll go ahead and tighten down this side and move to the other side. more
