Today, we're gonna take a look at the Rhino-Rack RLTP Legs for factory fixed mounting points. Whether you're using the heavy duty bars or the aero bars, this is going to do an excellent job of freeing up some space inside of the vehicle or giving you room for those longer, larger items, that maybe we can't get inside. The foot packs themselves very sturdy and resilient. They're reinforced internally, so they're going to give us superior strength. We also won't have to worry about sun fade. We won't have to worry about cracking.
A lot of times when roof racks get installed, they just kind of stay on the vehicle. A lot of people don't like taking them on and off. That's really important, so the quality will remain and it'll look good. As you can see with that adapter installed, our crossbar is incredibly secure.One thing you will want to ensure is when you're using a roof rack system, whether two or three, don't exceed the capacity of the roof of your vehicle. It should be readily available in your owner's manual.
If it's not there, just contact your dealer and figure it out.Let's talk about the different components that we have here and what we're gonna need to do the installation. This is our RLTP Fit Kit. That's gonna have the foot pack, two come in a box. We've got one for each side. It's gonna have the bracketry to allow us to connect to the stud that sticks up on top of our ProMaster.
We're gonna have the hardware and all the hardware is going to be a safety type or a security type, with that little tab sticking up in the middle. It's gonna help to prevent theft. We've got our tightening tool.Now this kit's going to be specific to the ProMaster. This is designed to work with the 2,500 heavy duty roof rack crossbars. If that's what you want to use, you're done.
In our case, since we want to go with the aero style crossbar, this is a Rhino-Rack Vortex Aero Crossbar, we're gonna need the RLTP Adapter Kit. That's gonna be right here. This is just one side of it. Of course, there is gonna, be one for the other side as well. You're going to need one kit per crossbar. If you're doing two crossbars, you need two kits. Gonna do three or four, you're gonna need three or four. To get that attached, just gonna remove the bolt here that holds our keeper on there. Pretty straightforward. Just turn it to the left, loosen it up.Alright. We can set this aside. We won't need this unless, we're going to be using those heavy duty crossbars. We're gonna take this part of our adapter kit. You see the part that sticks down there, is gonna go right through that hole. See how that's going to click together We'll take our bolt with the lock washer on it and we're going to slide our square washer on. That will then just come up through the hole.We'll take this portion. This is going to be our T-slot Adaptor. This portion will actually slide into our crossbar. Then, we can get it tightened down. Let me flip the crossbar over. You'll see we have the slot here on the underside. Gonna take this portion, it's gonna slide right in, just like that.I'm gonna take most of the slack out of my bolt, here. I still want these to move in and out a little bit. I don't want them to be super loose. Something like that looks good. We'll take our cap, and at this point we're ready to put that right on the end. That cap's gonna come with your crossbar, so will the key to lock it. Place that on and get it locked on. That's gonna complete our look at the Rhino-Rack RLTP Legs for the factory fixed mounting points.
