Hey guys, this is Taylor with KC HiLiTES and today I am going to be showing you how to
install the KC m-rack onto your jeep wrangler jk or jl.
Now specifically, we're going to be installing it on this 2018 wrangler jl unlimited but
the process is the exact same whether it's a JK or a JL Unlimited.
Before we get started, I'd love for you guys to comment below and let us know what types
of videos you'd like to see from us in the future whether it's other how to installation
videos, lifestyle videos, or event coverage or anything in between.So please comment and
let us know.
While you're at it, please subscribe to our channel so that you don't miss any content
from us in the future. Now with that said, let's get started on the install.
Okay so as you can see, the first step after we unbox the m-rack is to get everything laid out on the table upside down.
This is simply going to help us attach the side rails to the cross bars.
The first step is to connect the five cross bars to the two side rails.
The side rails are the pieces that have the light cutouts in them.
And we're going to start with one side rail at a time and there's simply two fasteners that hold each crossbar to the side rail.
To install the side light brackets, all you have to do is put in two of the carriage bolts into the extruded crossbars section from the side.
And then you place your side light bracket over the bolts and then you thread the nut on after that.
Now as you can see, I started from one side so that I could slide all of the side light brackets all the way over to the other side.
And then continue with the side that I was working on. But you can do it from wherever you prefer.
Just keep that in mind as you attach the side rails.
Once you have all the side light brackets attached to the cross bars where they go, then you can continue with connecting the second side rail support.
Once you have both of the side rails securely attached to the cross bars, then you can go ahead and mount up your front lighting solution.
Before you transfer the assembled M-Rack onto the top of your Jeep, you're gonna want to mask of the top of your Jeep where the M-Rack is going to be laying.
Just so we don't scratch anything up while we place the M-Rack on top of the roof.
Now that we have the roof all taped off, we can go ahead and transfer the assembled M-Rack on top of the roof.
We want to make sure that we align and center the rack into place on the vehicle properly.
Now when you do this, you want to measure from multiple locations to make sure that both sides are equally as far forward as one another.
And you want to make sure the rack is centered. So we like to say to measure twice and cute once.
You don't want to be drilling multiple holes in your roof. So make sure you take your time and make sure you measure exactly where you want the rack to be.
before you continue with marking your hole locations using a sharpie.
Remove the M-Rack, and then we went ahead and marked all of our pilot hole locations using a center punch and a hammer.
And then we went ahead and started drilling pilot holes into the center of each tab marking.
While we had the M-Rack off of the vehicle and onto a table, we took this opportunity to install the side lights onto the M-Rack.
Simply because it's a little easier to do it while it's on a table rather than on top of the roof of the vehicle.
Our next step is to transfer the M-Rack on top of the vehicle again, aligning the mounting tabs up with the holes that we just drilled.
And before we bolt everything down, we want to make sure that we put about a hershey's kiss sized dollop of silicone on top of the roof,
just to make sure that no water gets in through those holes where the bolts are going through.
And then after we put a hershey's kiss sized dollop of silicone on every hole that we drilled,
then we go ahead and put the sealing washers on top of that as well.
Once we had the silicone and the washer in place, then we simply drop the bolts through the M-Rack and then the roof of the vehicle.
Once we had the bolts through, then we went inside of the Jeep and we went ahead and put another sealing washer on and then the nut.
And then after you have that done for everything, the start cranking things down one bolt at a time.
AS you're tightening all of these bolts, it's really helpful to have a buddy who can hold the bolts at the top,
While somebody underneath is tightening from below inside of the Jeep.
One thing that I forgot to film here is simply the installation of the logo.
All you have to do is install it using the supplied rivets and use a rivet tool to attach the logo to the side rail of the M-Rack itself.
And then once you finish that up, everything is bolted on and secured tightly.
All you have to do is run your wiring for any of your lights if you purchased an M-Rack that had the lights with it.
If you have any questions at all about this install process, please just comment below
and ask away and I'd be happy to help you guys out. While you're at it, please let me know what other types of content you'd like to see from KC into the future.
I'd be happy to provide you guys with whatever you'd like to see.
So thank you guys for watching and remember to adventure further!
