Front Runner Slimline II Platform Rack Installation - 2013 Ram 2500

Hey guys, it's Jake here with etrailer. Today we have my 2013 Ram 2500 and we're gonna be taking a look at and I'm gonna show you how to install the Front Runner Slim Line II low profile platform rack. Adding this platform to your roof is going to allow you to add, put luggage up there, store different stuff, put accessories up there if you wanna haul a bike or maybe put a cargo box up there, whatever. Whatever you want to add to your roof, you should be able to mount anything you want onto this platform. The only other option for mounting anything to the roof of your Ram 2500 is going to be a set of roof bars. And I do not like how the roof bar's attached to the Ram because they're going to clamp through the door jam and or on the inside, just on the inside here. more
