I'll look into it, I'm not sure what is involved besides more money to cross the ocean.

Got the side pieces today from the water jet !! Here's a quick mock up I did, I haven't had time to actually mount it but this is about where it will sit. I thought you guys might wanna see the progress. Once I've got both styles mounted I'll probably start a new dedicated thread with some better pictures and pricing explained more thoroughly. The pictures aren't great the light was pretty bad but I'll get better ones.
Why's do you guys think so far??
I'm sure it will. Is there a particular awning you are considering? You could mount it on either the 3/4 or the full length, although the full length might more straightforward.
I've been up in Southern Colorado for a while but got back and have had a chance to get both racks mounted. They look great! I'll post pics soon.
Got the new full length aluminum rack mounted and it looks great! Just need to measure for the wind screen and have those cut. Both racks use all three mounting positions on each side and are fully modular so you can configure crossbars however you need. Awning , roof top tent RTT, whatever you need to mount, the 80/20 crossbars make it easy. It's compatible with 2" or 3" crossbars as well. You can get as many or as few as you need for your application.
And would love one in black!
Any update on this? May be in the market for a roof rack soon.
Yes!! I got the wind deflecting fairings done and they are ready to sell. I need to finalize the pricing and I'll do a separate posting with options for you guys!! I actually sold one to one of our fellow members and am shipping to him late this week, hopefully he will post some pictures of it installed and give me some install feedback
Subbing would love this depending on price of course.
This is great!!! I would also love the chance to install and take pics too if you want!
Shipping is less than $100 depending on where you are located. I am in New Mexico but frequently travel to Durango and would be happy to save someone shipping if they are local.
Formations, are you selling these yet? If so I'm interested in the 3/4 length. Do you have updated pics with the wind fairing?
Hi guys,
I did get both racks built and tested and could sell them if you're interested. I didn't get any pictures of the 3/4 with the fairing installed unfortunately. I really liked that style for its reduced wind noise. I also have found that, without the pressure of wind on my sunroof , it rattles much more. This is only any issue with the full length. There is a thread on here with guys discussing the same issues on other brands of full length racks . However, the functionality of the full length rack is amazing. I use the rack all the time for buliding materials and anything else that I need to haul. Anyhow, if anyone is interested in purchasing either rack style, let me know. Send me a DM and I can talk through some options with you depending on your needs.
Thanks!

These look great! Any thoughts on powdercoating them black?
