Roof rack questions

[bomberopm]

Looking at roof racks for 2011 570. Some say they are not necessary but I could use it to carry kayaks and such. With there being so many, it’s hard to make a decision as most look very similar. My concerns are noise, durability/ease of use and availability of attachments and lighting attachment points. Am I missing things to be concerned about? Anyone have a rack they like and why would be helpful

I use Yakima racks on all my Land Cruisers. Works great, quiet, and nothing noticeable regarding fuel mileage impacts. And, with standard kayak and canoe mounts, still fits in the standard 7' garage height.

LFD allows you to keep the factory side rails if you want. I have an extra fairing if you decide to go that route.
