Video Transcript for Rhino-Rack Gutter Mount Roof Rack Legs Review

Hi, everyone. It's Evangeline here at etrailer and today we'll be taking a look at our Rhino-Rack Gutter Mount Legs which are 8 1/4 inches tall here at etrailer. So these are going to be ideal If you have a Jeep, if you have a van, if you have a vehicle with either factory mounted gutters or if you install those gutters yourself but you also want a way to build or make a Rhino-Rack system. So these are your slightly taller than average gutter mount legs and that's gonna be ideal if you need a little extra height or clearance. Maybe you're carrying around skis with extra large bindings and you need that clearance underneath. Or maybe the way you have your gutters mounted is a little bit below the roof level compared to other vehicles.

Whatever situation you're in, let's see if this video will help you out with figuring if these are the right legs for you. So the towers themselves are made of nylon so that is a little bit more lightweight than let's say the steel towers you would see on your more traditional, let's say naked roof towers or the ones that clamp onto your roof. So this nylon again is lightweight but it's also UV resistant. So as you have this on your roof, as you have this on your gutter, it is gonna be exposed to the elements. It is going to be exposed to the sun and that's where their UV resistance comes in handy because you don't want it deteriorating underneath the sunlight.

With this being lightweight though, there is a glass reinforcement on the inside and that adds to its weight capacity as well as its durability. So the actual height measurement of this is going to be 8 1/4 inches tall. So that height is going to be from the channel of your gutter to right where your crossbar is attached. So it's not the total height but the usable height of your tower. So from there, you can then estimate from the underneath your crossbar, whether it be your Vortex crossbar or your square crossbar, that's gonna be the clearance you have from your roof to your crossbar.

So measure your own gutter mount or your own channel to see if this will work with your vehicle. Now, this is not using lock and key to secure it. What it does use is its own hex tool or hex key. It has its own special shape from Rhino-Rack and this is what is used to either tighten down or loosen the bolts holding the clamp into place. So if someone does not have this special hex tool, they won't be able to undo it.

So not the same as having your own key and your own lock keyed to or keyed to itself but it's still a form of security measure. Now the install process is really simple for these. All you need is a gutter to mount these towers to. You need the kit itself, you need your crossbars and you need some tools. So my final thoughts about these gutter mounts is that they give you a pretty decent height or clearance above your roof. So whether you have certain vehicles where you need access to the sunroof and you're worried about those really low profile bars that don't give you enough, if you have, let's say cargo or items that you are carrying that require a little bit more clearance like your skis with large bindings. Or if you have, let's say a solar panel on top of your roof and you just wanna get above that, this might be a great option for you. If you're just using a roof rack as a roof rack and you're not concerned about clearance but maybe a little bit more about looks, check out our recommended fit for your vehicle. Those are usually a little bit more low profile, look a little bit more factory like. They'll give you as much clearance but again, there's pros and cons, it does depend on you and your situation but I hope this video helped you out with that decision making. And that was a look here at our Rhino-Rack Gutter Mounted Legs which are 8 1/4 inches tall here at etrailer. My name is Evangeline and I hope this helps you out. Enjoy the journey..

Good product. Aerobars are quiet. Rhino shorted the number of rubber strips in one box. Caused installation delay. eTrailer sent a returned or open box that had no keys. Also a delay. High point is responsive customer service and follow-up. But geez.

I liked doing business with you. I like the products I ordered. I did have trouble with part of the shipping. It was not your fault, but the part of the shipping you used The USPS did not work. I neverrnecieved the item from them and you had to ship me another via UPS. Over the last 10 years I have had a number of problems with the USPS with packages and mail. They are especially difficult to get information from when something seems to be lost. I would recommend not using the USPS for your shipping needs. Again, I am very happy with you and the products I bought from you.

I think it just looks good first of all. I can carry my paddle boards and still use my one touch roof top.

These are what it took to make my Rhino gutter mount legs fit my Rhino aero bars.
Upon ordering all the roof bars & legs for my Ford E350, it wasn't mentioned that I would be needing these adaptors. Ultimately, etrailer helped me figure out what it takes.
Seems that replacing the 3/8" bolt with the 6mm bolt that these adaptors come with might be sketchy. Although these hard plastic plates have a boss that locates them well. I used anti-seize on all fasteners.
Everything went together fine. Always happy to do business with etrailer!!

I ordered this system so I could haul a kayak on the roof of my standard cab pickup while towing my 5th wheel RV. Everything fit great and it was easy to install,and the system works great for me.

  • 2009 Land Rover Range Rover Pioneer Platform Compatibility
    Your best option is to attach a Rhino Rack roof rack to your vehicle and then a Pioneer Platform to the Rhino Rack roof rack. That is the only way you can attach a Pioneer Platform to your vehicle and it be covered by their warranty. Unfortunately, there is not a tested fit for your 2009 Land Rover Range Rover which will allow you to mount a Pioneer Platform directly to Rhino Rack legs. My rack recommendation is the 2009 Land Rover Range Rover Roof Rack by Rhino Rack. It has a weight limit...

  • Recommended Solution to Carry Platform Roof Rack on 2006 Land Rover Range Rover HSE
    In a lot of cases there are ways to directly fit a Pioneer Platform like the # RR89QX to a set of Rhino Rack RCL Legs # RRRCL6, but there is not a fit kit that will allow you to attach the RCL legs to your 2006 Range Rover HSE. The 2006 Land Rover Range Rover HSE only has fit kits for the RCH legs and this is what is keeping you from connecting directly to the roof in the manner that you're seeking. With that said, you can install a roof rack using parts # RRVA137B-3, # RRRCH6 and # RRRCP05-BK...

  • Will the RVP Roof Rack # RRRVP05 Interfere with Antenna on My 2010 Land Rover Range Rover?
    I have a answer that will help you determine if there is interference with the crossbars with your antenna on your 2010 Range Rover. I confirmed with my tech at Rhino-Rack that the Rhino-Rack that the Rhino-Rack RVP Roof Rack for Fixed Mounting Points - Qty. 3 # RRRVP05 measures just shy of 2 inches tall from the roof to the bottom of the crossbar. In order to make sure that it fits over your antenna, I recommend measuring the height of your antenna. If you need a bit more height on your...

  • Roof Rack Recommendations That Use Fixed Mounting Points On 2011 Toyota FJ Cruiser
    We have a couple options for a roof rack on your 2011 FJ Cruiser that uses the fixed mounting points. The first roof rack I recommend is the Rhino-Rack Vortex Roof Rack. This system features black, aluminum aerodynamic crossbars with Vortex strips in the C-channels to help reduce wind noise. The custom leg kit and adapters install in the OEM mounting points on your roof you said you have for a clean custom look. The weight capacity for the roof rack is 165-lbs but you want to make sure...

    Hey Philip. for your 2016 Volvo XC60 I recommend going with the Thule WingBar Evo Roof Rack for Flush Rails # TH67YG. These bars measure 47" long, are black in color, will work great with your flush rails, and has a 220 lb dynamic weight capacity. Unfortunately however, it looks like all of the crossbars offered for your Volvo are going to require you to remove them before opening the sunroof.

    Hey Ian, For your 2017 Ford Transit T150 you'll need the Rhino-Rack's RTLP legs and adapters because you'll have fixed mounting points on the roof. There are a few different kits depending on the amount of crossbars you'd like to install/how many sets of fixed mounting points you have to use.
