Hello,
Just curious if anyone has installed a Front Runner Slimline II roof rack on a Jeep JKU? If so, has there been any issues with leaks or trouble drilling the back half of the roof? Looking to mount a Alu-Cab Gen3, but also need a versatile roof rack when then RTT is not installed.

Thanks!
Andy

I have a Slimline II on my Jeep. Make sure you purchase a quality holesaw before you install one. I didn't and used one I had that was only ok at best. The cheap holesaw tore the fiberglass a bit, leaving a small groove from the fiberglass fibers. So, one of the holes ended up leaking. Nothing a bit of silicone couldn't fix, but still a leak.
Other then that, the install wasn't bad. The first hole is the hardest.
Thanks for the heads up on the hole saw!
