Started modding the roof rails today


First thing was cleaned up the bottoms from adhesives etc.

From:


to this:


Then i cut the nub off the back end, then filled the hole with JB:



to:


Then i took and drilled 2 small holes in the tip and took some bare copper wire and looped it in there.
(forgot pic)
Then i took and covered that with more JB stick:





Letting it dry nice before i touch it or move on to # 2

What happened to cutting in half and then filling the middle???

Nice work regardless... don't take to long tho, they need to be on by the weekend lol

well i was gonna do that, but when i put the factory edge of the roof rail against my window i saw this:




So i figure i can taper it out more and extend it all at once

Oh, I see. Good call. Nobody ever pointed that out on the 04+ models. Definitely the way you're doing it then.

Ok, so Phase 2 complete, sanded em out.

nub end:


Extension end:


got a few small areas that need filling.. dunno where i put my glazing putty lol

Nice job guy.


























Jelly.

yeah nice work man, looks real good cant wait to see how they turn out!

Lookin good.

Today's update:

Rails are painted, cleared. Let sitting inside overnight help em cure etc. They are ready to go. Just waiting on the bank to process my deposit and then they go on. They will be on by the weekend, if not during the weekend because of time etc. who knows.
The stuff im gonna use to adhere them will be bought at a paint supply store, strong ass stuff, like the structural adhesive stuff, only no special application Gun needed.

Anyways, since we all love pics.. i present PICS:

good call on the silver thats going to look so nice

Just ordered some LEd bulbs for the car. Already have LEDs in rear overhead and in foot wells., gonna do main dome, and reverse lights too.

Why are you online and not outside installing them??? I know when I got mine I MADE time to be able to install them lol. Did prep-work @ work so I was set to install once I got home.

Don't got the $40 for glue today LoL. Hopefully tomorrows

$40 glue... this glue better be encrusted with some ****ing diamonds and be strong enough to glue Oprah's fat ass to the ceiling.

legit epoxy stuff.
