Another good idea is to put a small strip of 3m clear paint protection film. Even the rubber gasket has some vibration that still has contact with paint. The film will eliminate the actual contact to paint. Plus dust gets built up under the gasket over time. The film does the job 🤙🏼
If you've got a Transit 148" with a high top like us and are looking to purchase the roof rack shown in this video, just reply to this comment and I'll make sure you get the info you need. We are working on the order page and will have it available in the next few days. Thanks for watching!
Thanks so much for putting this series here on RUclips, I'm really enjoying the simplicity and visual aspect of your explanations (mix between a kinesthetic and visual learner) and the way they make me feel like I can do a lot of this stuff myself when I get my van next year, which after watching so many other videos, I did not feel like at all (especially electrical, which I was just totally confused about).
@@EXPLORISTlife A question about the Ford roof top: Could you have fit 3*200w Renogy solar panels 1650 x 670 x 35 mm / 64.96 x 26.38 x 1.38 in and 2 max air on it without the AC and roof racks? I'm curious about a 3 lithium 600AH battery system and what the max solar you could get out of the rooftop may be to charge this kind of system. Also is there a reason you picked AC for this van over a 2nd fan, as I know Australia gets really hot in summer and really not sure between internal/external AC or just getting 2 fans. I noticed you did not cut a spot for ventilation for a shower, is this not needed as there is no risk of condensation leading to mold? Thanks if you can answer, but understand if your too busy 😄
So, are you planning at the end of this build to post the final Retail cost? Since we live in a real world it would be nice to know what it would cost to build out a van of this type. Thx.
Use a Dremel tool with a sanding drum to adjust roof mount holes. Using a vacuum will keep filings from falling inside. Then a cotton ear swab to touch up paint.
Absolutely amazing I didn't get to watch the whole video but I saw the first and I get to see the rack I'll look at the bills when I have time but just awesome teamwork
Exactly what I'm working on, designing 80/20 Transit roof rack to maximize area for solar panels. My guess is those large panels on your finished roof are 200w each, so including the small panels you are at about of 500w.
I have a roof rack installed already, I think the gasket is a great idea! Is there anyway you can post a link to purchase a gasket separately like the one you are using? Thanks
Unaka is going to have that available soon so you can buy 5-6ft of it, but until then; this is what we used: amzn.to/3zBPneU Pay special attention to the edge width. Our wind fairing is 3/16" so we used 3/16 edge gasket. 1/8" edge gasket would not fit.
Regarding the anti-cease; I noticed you used the gray colored. I have used the same product but switched to using only the copper colored. The reason I do not use gray at all for any reason is that it does dry and cake on the threads. Maybe not in a year or two but the coper doesn't and if so it would last years longer. Regard the two straps for bolting the side plate. I would recommend one big square with four holes, much stronger but maybe not needed if no cargo will be carried.
The installation process will be the same regardless of your preferred color of anti-seize. One big square splice plate wouldn't work as it would get in the way of the 8020 rails. The small rectangular splice plates paired with the 'half-lapped' 8020 joint is plenty strong.
The copper anti-seize does stay soft. Use just enough to put a light coat on the start of the threads. As you run the bolt in, the the anti-seize will be pulled into the nut. You also have to be very careful to fully clean it from any exposed surface. If you get it on your hands, clothes, gloves, you will track it everywhere and keep doing so. It is the gift that keeps on giving.
I like it,, Been watching your vids you guys are doing a great job. I just finally got my new transit. Waited 1.5 yr for it AWD I did the Weld Tec 2inch lift and this is the rack Im going with. One question..Wher did you get the gasket for the front? Maybe save me some time if you have a link? Prob simple Amazon search?? Thanks keep up the good work.. I will be shopping with you too..
Hi Nate. Nice rack! Like the fairing gasket. I like the way you’ve covered every inch. Not sure how much a/c and vent will shade panels but newer panels are not as sensitive to shading power reduction as they used to be, right? How will you remove snow from your roof? No place to stand up there. Not that I would feel safe standing in snow and ice. Planning to use Portable ladder or ?
There's only shading on one of the 35W panels when the sun is low in the sky (early morning and late evening); but is just one of the 'it is what it is' things of having a roof rack as low profile as this. We will simply carry a portable ladder for snow removal. Even on our sprinter, it was sketchy to stand on the roof, in the snow, to remove the snow. Super slippery. With the portable ladder leaned on the roof rack, I'll only ever be, say, 4-5 ft off the ground in slippery conditions instead of 8+ feet of being on top of the van.
Thanks for watching! The gasket does indeed come with the roof rack. We really liked the concept of having the fairing come all the way down to the roof line, so we decided to include the gasket. After our maiden voyage from Steamboat Springs to McCall Idaho this weekend, we averaged 17MPG, which I'd like to think that the low fairing angle helped with.
If the roof rack was tall enough, how much clearance would you need to cover AC unit to not hinder ac functionality? That way you can have maximum amount of solar panels?
Thanks for the suggestion. We left it open in the back to more easily allow air to flow through the rack and out the back. We will definitely look into some sort of cap though as we improve this product.
@@unakagearcompany Yes your right i didn't Think about the Air flow But a cap over the 80/20 where u can see the silver or maybe a bit of paint Thank u for your reply.Stay safe.
@@NSWMods The rack kits will come with end caps for the rear 8020. In the rush to get the MK1 installed we left those out and still actually need to send them to Nate so thanks for the reminder!
Any chance you know the usable width of this roof rack? I am considering purchasing this kit but I’m having trouble finding the dimensions online. Thanks!
Hey Nate, can you share how long you think it would take to set up this roof rack, minus all the tribulations? Oh how long you think it would take if you did it a second time?
I can't remember if I said how long it took to install in the video, but I think it was 4 days with testing different parts/methods plus filming? Maybe just go ahead and time-budget for that same amount of time to account for if you have different issues of your own? If we were to do it again with no prototyping or filming, it'd probably take 2 days with both the rack AND the solar panels.
Random question- what size is that window behind your driver side?? I’m assuming that’s an arctic tern? I think we ordered the same size and we hesitated to install it bc I read some threads that the larger flat windows can cause warping in the sheet metal, and it looks like yours does not! Any key to installing a flat window on a curved van?
Can you use a Dremel tool with a small carbide cutter to remove the extra tin that covered the tapped nut inserts in the roof? The hand snips leave a rough looking cut. - just my two cents
There's probably 100 different ways to do that. If you go the Dremel route, be sure to mind your sparks and such to prevent rust spots being thrown across the van roof. Remember... that part will never be seen, so a rough 'looking' cut doesn't really matter much.
Another idea is what I did which was use a multi-tool with a fine tooth metal blade. I prepped the area to contain the metal dust and this tool made fast clean work of it. In my opinion, this type of tool is a must for van builders. Really nice design on that roof rack guys!!!
Nice! Yeah, that's another good option. I do love my multi-tool. I was almost thinking that the 'upper half of a step bit' would be the ideal tool for that; but I don't think that exists and I didn't want to cut my step bit in half. 🤣😂
never used lap sealant......you should mention any tips on how much /far / thick to apply to get it to spread evenly /correctly.....or if it is no big deal splurge away. Seems like it could turn into a messy nightmare quickly.
It's definitely something I recommend practicing on a scrap piece of 'something', but going slow and letting it flow is the key. We talked about lap sealant in a bit more detail in this video, which may help: ruclips.net/video/bOxl6IZvY2U/видео.html
@@EXPLORISTlife thanks, I've worked with other sealants and noticed your work turn out excellent in this vid and thought.....that takes a little skill and can turn ugly quick.
Hi Nate, I have ordered the Rich 200 watt panels off you. Did you use the Unaka 59.265 cross bars on your roof rack? I am probably going to get AVC to adapt their roof rack for these solar panels as Unaka haven't responded to me for about a week. It's a Shame, their roof rack looks great and priced to sell.
You should absolutely follow up with Unaka. It's the holiday season and all of us small businesses are slammed. Sometimes I mean to respond to something and simply forget to hit send, and a quick and friendly 'Hey, Just following up on this', is very welcome.
So it sounds like if a Ford Transit owner wants to install a Nomadic A/C, Maxxair fan, maximum solar panels, and roof rack like yours, they should get all the measurements from you before cutting that first hole in their roof.
Absolutely. I gave all of the measurements for the A/C and Maxxair fan in our previous videos; but I strongly recommend anybody plan out the entire roof before cutting holes even if they aren't following this plan exactly.
Hello. Check an alternaive rail system MINITEC. It has M8 slot for standard nuts or spring loaded nut to keep it in position and many other features. It is available up to 6m lenngth which is less comlicated to screw together but more expensive in transport. UPS only takes max. 2m.
Maybe I'm just a bit jaded that we spent so much time developing this roof rack just for you to come in and suggest something totally different, but it also looks like minitec is difficult to actually purchase/acquire without having to jump through hoops (emailing/calling) for no real benefits.
I bought the Flatline roof rack for my 130 inch wheelbase but mistakenly bought the 148 inch so now It wont fit. what can I do? Cut it down to size? I have 6 openings for the feet and of course they sent me 8. They don't even make one for 130 inch.

I see they sell the gasket.. Awesome..
Looks like the fairing blocks the 360 degree camera.
Us not having a 360 degree camera also inhibits its performance.
I would suspect a Dremel would work better to align the mounting holes in the roof.
