Sorry for the quality, I installed mine a few days ago, the light bar is so bright! Got 73Q ZERO Fridge too and just waiting to get drawers from ARB.

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!

My 51"x84" BASERACK with slimline lightbar.
I tried to install the light bar under the roof rack first, but it seems is not possible to have/keep both, So I used another bracket that came with the light bar to keep the wind deflector, I drove mine a little bit (not on the freeway) is not noisy at all.

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??
I would love to get one for night time when I’m parked up, keep the mozzies away.
Can you hook a brother up?

The orange light bar covers are a standard ARB accessory.

I am very interested in these ARB base racks, 84" X 51". It looks like that's the size 7000ft is running in the pics - correct? I am curious to pinpoint the height measurement for clearance in my garage. I have seen a few different numbers from 3 1/2" to 7" off roof of the vehicle. It looks like I've only got about 4 1/2" at the back roof area to my open garage door/header.

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.

Awesome . . . Thanks for the info! I'm nervous 'cause I'm running out of headspace with the lift/tires (Ikon 3" & 275/70R18 BFG AT's). I also noticed a couple of those rubber gaskets in my drip channels are missing while I was checking things out up there. Looks like I need to replace and tack them down when I swap out the rack.
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.
Sidenote: my light bar recently started to get some light Condensation inside the lense. Any remedies for this?
