Aftermarket rack folks

[InkMing]

Naked time.

​

One last one to remove:

Really not sure why this was the only picture I took of any of the Front Runner rack on the LC.

​

But folks can see the Gen2 supports for the rack.
With the BFG 33's, factory suspension, and the rack, total height is at 6' 7". Makes it close going into the garage at the house, but even closer at work. I hit the cross bar at the garage at work with the rack now because of the break-over angle getting onto the parking deck. It is the back section of the rack that touches the rail. Just need to always keep this in mind and go slow. The bar says it is at 6' 8".

 

[InkMing]

The rack. Just not mounted.

​

And the one bar at the bottom of the pic took a hit in shipping. Looks like something went through the box and into the bar.

Only shots I have of everything mounted up.

The infamous photo-bomber of my household.

​

Have rack, will yak.

Those with the FrontRunner and maybe only applies to the full rack...

Wind deflector. Been playing around with it a little bit. Tried it on the front bar with it in the middle, a lot of whistling.
Tried it on the front bar spread all the way apart to either side. Probably same amount of whistling.
Took it off completely. Yeah. That isn't going to work. Creates a whole lot of vibration in the roof that gets felt through the vehicle. Actually enough vibration where the rear-view mirror vibrates.

Any ideas or suggestions?

Man - here's my thoughts on that as I'm leaning towards purchasing one of these rack systems----I though about having a local fab shop making a little front air dam for that set up, which would be replacing the stock air foil or whatever you call that thing. You could also get them (the fab shop) to inset or cut out the exact size for a light bar to be inset. Just thinking out loud here.

will you please take a full on side shot of the rig as a whole. I'd like to view the rack in all of its splendor.
thanks

 

[InkMing]

You checking out my rack?

 

[InkMing]

Just for Willy. Plus it was a good excuse to get up and move around before nodding off at my desk.

 

[Willy beamin]

Nice rack babe

 

[Willy beamin]

Thanks

 

[InkMing]

No problem.

You know, I have said that exact same line to others before, and it has gotten me in a bit of trouble.

@InkMing , your pictures have inspired me to buy a full length frontrunner now.

HAHA! Well played @MScruiser. Well Played.

Hopefully in not too long, I'll call about a full length rack with provisions for the sunroof.

Sounds Good! Talk to you soon!

Bryan had me remove the sticky pads that the directions have you install and the whistling is now gone.
