How's the wind noise with the light bar? I have a light bar awaiting install, but the thought of going back to the road noise before adding the deflector has me hesitating and considering fabbing custom brackets to run both.
I have the BASERACK and lightbar. The lightbar sits in front of the when deflector. Light bar does not add any additional wind noise due to its placement.
Ahh, ok—good to know, thanks. Realized I left out an important detail on my post. I have the 3/4 rails on my rack and realized after ordering the light bar that even the long brackets are too short for the bar to fit properly. That wasn't clear when I ordered it all, so I either need to lose the rails or fab custom brackets. I do love the rack and system, though. Nice looking rig!
It sounds like ARB needs to design a bracket for those who put the rail across the front. Maybe move the 51" rail to the rear?
That would be nice. Honestly I don't think anyone there knew any better than I did about fitment when I ordered it all. It was very early on. The easiest thing to do would be to get rid of the front rail and just run the sides, but naturally that's not possible without buying an entirely different rail set.
Can't the front rail be moved to the back since the rack is symmetrical? I looked at just the Front (rear) rail system, but it was too close to my overhead door header.That would be nice.

It may be possible, but I'm running the roller kit on the back. Highly recommend it if you load up the rack regularly.
Does the roller rack create any Sirius XM reception interference?
That's a non issue for me—I have a 100 series running a Grom Vline2 for CarPlay functionality.
Hey mate, what is this orange light bar cover??
The orange light bar covers are a standard ARB accessory.
Yes I installed an 51"x84" BASERACK on my 2020 LE.
Yes, I installed the 51x84 base rack on my 2020 HE. Rack is approximately 3.63" high off the roof side rail. Standard residential garage door height is 84" off finished floor. Hope this helps.
There's another bracket that allows it to be tucked underneath to act as a deflector. I have it installed below, and there does not seem to have any contact issues with the sunroof
I could have gone that route but I wanted maximum air deflection. Curious now to how much wind is displaced with the light bar if not used in conjunction with the wind deflector behind it.
Yea I would have ran it with the light bar and deflector, but ARB did not ship me one with the rack.
