Everything is outside, you need a star bit to get them out though if I remember right. Just unscrew them all And it will come right off, there was a lot of filth under mine when I did it.

Oh sweet ! Thank you very much for your help. :cheers:

Yeah it will definitely look better on your truck (I mean...off your truck lol).

I'm replacing mine with this. (warning it's not finished ;))

Woah sweet rack!

Thanks for your kind words. :)


So I started taking my factory rack off yesterday...and well bad news for me, one bolt didn't come off because of rust. I think the threaded insert inside the vehicle came undone (spot-welded maybe?) and now it's spinning without going anywhere.

So if you can reach, try lubing the bolts. ;)

if any of them get stuck or break just drill them out, but ya you dont have to remove any interior panels just remove all the screws holding it on up on top of the truck, mine is also coming off when i bring it in to paint it but im fiberglassing and priming all the holes so they are smooth :)
