Not sure if this goes here or not. Oh well.

I want to know is when i order my surco rack (45 X 50), do i need to order anything else like rails or is it all included.

also i'm putting lights on there. do i need to order the light mounts or they already on there. sorry but the surco site really sucks.

please reply fast if ya got info for this b/c i need to put the rack on by friday b/c dad's paying for the lights to be put on and don't want to piss off him and have to pay for the lights getting installed or have to do them myself.

Hey Digg

What did the rack run you?:D
 






i havn't bought it yet man. Going to tomorrow or when i get then info i need liek if i neet the rail things. going to put a spaire tire up there aswell and a shovel and lock a Hi-Lift up there so so come on guys need INFO!!!!!!! i know ya'll know it so shaire.
 






after i buy it i'll PM you the exact price. my guess will proboly be like 150 but we'll see
 






I like roof racks,but I am thinking about buying a rear tire carrier with all that on there,the only bad thing it is alot more than 150:(
 












I bought my yakima Bike rack off that site:D
 






For the Surco Rack, I bought mine off of Perfomance Products. You can try and check out their site for answers. I forget about the rails, I think you have to by some, and the light mounts are sold sepately in pairs.
 






Ya, you have to buy the "legs" that mount to your factory rack and the tire carrier and everything else is separate too. You can mount your own shovel and Hi-Lift, just make some brackets or use U bolts. As for the lifts, make your own mounts... alittle bit of sheet metal and some bolts and you have the same thing that they make for half if not less.
 






ok so i need the legs, basket, light mounts, and shovel mount and i'll drill a hole through the basket to bolt the Hi-Lift to it so it will lock on there so i won't get stolen at school or in public.
 






Need a Rack?

I have a surco safari rack in the garage if you wish you buy a used one. It's fairly new and has two sets of light mounts (SR-LT100) and a set of factory rack mounts (SR-CH100). I think it is 45x60 but it could be 50x60. Have to check when I get home. Just a thought. Also, it has a set of 500's on it and a custom lockbox. Oh yeah, I also noticed that you are in W-S... we have a mountain house around there so the logistics may work out with ease. Email me if you want it.
 






i sent you a e-mail. how big is that on it. sounds to biug for me but i mioght work. never know. send some pics of it on the car and relative size and it if doesn't look massve i'll take it.
 






forgot, what type hellas 500 are on there. fdriving or fog? will i get those if i buy the rack? and will iot mount to a actory rails. there not rails on your car.

you have a mountain house around here is awesome. you could drop it off on your way. and i could cheak out your X. good deal
 






how much for the rack and lights. i have been looking for someone to be selling one for a while. i will take it now. email me and we will figure something out.
 






picture...

I have a few pics if you are interested but I think that if you look in my sig there are a few or at least one.

why you selling it? get a new oner or something?
 












OMG

I bought my Surco rack 3 years ago for about $85 on www.truckaccessories.com and that included the tire mount.... I would just leave out the stupid shovel carrier if I were you....not worth it....I lost the bolts and the brackets ....they comme off very easily.... heh? light mounts????? well you can just mount your lights right up to the rack.... drill the holes right into the rack...

i love my rack though....there is pleanty of room for the high lift up there depending on what size tire you have...be sure when you put on the tire mount you place it more towards the center if you have more than a 33" tire....

racks...

As some of you know, "blackbox" has been taken from an off-road truck to a street truck. Spending all my time beefing up the engine... I just don't need the rack anymore. It's in perfect condition. Check it out...
