Enhance. Enhance.

Look like 35x11.5x18

I emailed Dissent and they were kind enough to reply today even though they are closed. The tires on the OT are indeed 35 11.5 (as OG astutely discovered) with minor inner liner trimming and front mud flap removal - no rubbing on-road - not yet tested for off-road flex.

Dissent does not yet have a release date for the body mount sliders but, said it will be the next item released.

I asked Dissent on how easy it is to remove the rack, in case I dont want to use it, unless I'm overlanding/camping.

Also, the install documentation has a number of errors in it. They say to measure 16 inches from the windshield, where as the proper install location is 16 inches back from the front of the roof rail on the LX. They also say to tighten the plus nuts to 20 foot inches. I even called support to confirm and they said yes because they read the documentation which is wrong. About 8-10 foot pounds was about right. 20 foot inches was not even enough force to get them started. They also say to use the phillips screws for the front foot because it is closer to the rail, but they did not include any of these with the install kit.

Performed the same install for my '24 LX600, and ran into EXACT same issues, line-for-line. I chalked it up to (possible) roof/bar layout differences between years, but a PITA nonetheless. (Luckily?) They included enough extra bolts of the various lengths, that I didn't have to purchase anything additional to get it installed....

This past week, I added the side panel and some Rotopax gas containers. I had intended to use two 3 gallon but the forward 3 gallon came to far forward and blocked the rear door from opening. So, at least this gives me an extra 4 gallons in this configuration.

Also added the side panels to my '24 600, and have some additional gear to mount.... One mod I did that I love was the Outer Limit Supply Co. quick-release mount + Nanuk case (Amazon) (= much cheaper than the $350 full OLSC solution). Was super-easy, and can be a VERY simple way to grab and go for differing outings (additional base plates that can be mounted to different cases (one for fishing, one first aid, etc, etc) are $70)....

Also added a set of ski racks (more likely to use for fishing poles, for me). Remove the cheap plastic mounting legs, drill holes in the rack base, and mount directly to the rack crossbar...

Dissent has released their no drill roof rack for $2k.

I really like this solution, but for CBI @ 1/2 price (and can't think of any reason I'd want to remove it later....)....

Maybe if they had a side panel solution, but I never saw one for the LX600 and haven't seen chatter on this for the 700H (which I really, really want)...

Perhaps retrofitting the CBI side panels to the Dissent rack is a possibility? Has anyone evaluated for this?
