Next Gen Ranger Front Runner Slimsport Roof Platform - DIY Install without dropping the headliner!

In this episode we run through the installation process of the Front Runner Slimsport Roof Platform onto our Next Gen Ranger Wildtrak. Best of all, I show you how to access and secure any roof platform without dropping the headliner. It's a longer episode; however I collate a lot of research to help you out if you are looking to do the same!! The Slimsport is a great hybrid option, offering a solid low profile solution by locating slats in between two back bones. This also makes the product quite affordable as you don't need to pay for a full roof platform and back bone system. We also run through a number of accessories and how easy it is to add and remove them due to Front Runners open rails and very simply M8 bolt system. So come along, as we show you how! And to help you out, I've also listed out all the parts and accessories: Front Runner Slimsport Roof Rack: https://www.frontrunneroutfitters.com...
