TRD Black replied to i_Fj's discussion FS: Road Armor Bumper with Titan Guard $1300"My Demello rubbed under flex. Body lift solved that."
"Too funny. I did the same thing yesterday. I was freezing & sweating at the same time. It worked. No internal rain this morning."
TRD Black replied to TRD Black's discussion Leaky Roof"Yeah you're telling me! The rainstorm was crazy! I have a feeling it's gonna be a while before my windows stop fogging up. I've been running the heater full blast with the windows cracked trying to dry it out. Saved money on a sauna…"
TRD Black replied to TRD Black's discussion Leaky Roof"That looks like a perfect fit. Do you have any of those left, or know where I could acquire the material quick? That, LockTite, and some silicone should do the trick. Now my only worry is that I have thosenwhite plastic guides & that…"
"Hopefully it's not raining this weekend. I'm going to make some butyl gaskets & get some marine grade sealant. With the weekend leak, the inside of my windshield had a ton of condensation this morning. What a pain."
TRD Black replied to TRD Black's discussion Leaky Roof"That would be awesome if you could spare some gaskets! It seems like that would be pretty ideal. Did you just put them flush against the roof under the mounts? I'm assuming you didn't take pictures."
NestahEdition {aka Nestor} replied to TRD Black's discussion Leaky Roof"I noticed the potential leak issue on the roof mount when i installed my ARB roof rack.
The gap between the white plastic (bolt guide/retainer) and the roof mount holes will be the cause of water leaks if not covered properly.
So I bought a sheet…"
TRD Black replied to Mike Oliver's discussion 5 Matte Black TRD Wheels, KM2 tires, Spidertrax Wheel Spacers & Gorilla Lugs - $1200"Great deal! I'm in the same boat myself. I've got nearly new BFG all terrains on for the winter & my 305 Mickey Thompsons are wearing out. I am thinking of going to 35 (or 315 70 16), but can't decide on combo, regear ratio,…"
Revoked replied to TRD Black's discussion Leaky Roof"The tubes / mounting is terribly designed. I lost almost every bracket into the headliner taking off the stock rack. Terrible."
TRD Black replied to TRD Black's discussion Leaky Roof"Yeah that is my next course of action. Locktite, silicone, boat sealant, roofing tar, whatever I can pile up. Seriously though, I explained the issue to Gobi & they were very helpful. They're going to send me a new install kit. On the…"
DivnGirl replied to TRD Black's discussion Leaky Roof"I agree with Sonof40. It is probable the sealant issue. When we installed my Gobi, we applied loctite on the bolt threads and around the bolt head after screwed in. Never had a problem. I would take off the entire rack and…"
Sonof40 replied to TRD Black's discussion Leaky Roof"Ya everything, (sealants, weatherstripping, your truck) degrades over time of course. Your plan is the right one. It's just a matter of upkeep. And patience."
TRD Black replied to TRD Black's discussion Leaky Roof"I did not initially use sealant and have not had a single issue in the 5 years I've had the FJ. I did try to remove the bolts the day I found the leak and fill with silicone. It lessened the problem but perhaps I need to take the whole thing…"
