What'd ya got on top? Who can pack the most junk?

View attachment 1391786 This was the guy's solution. His wife wasn't convinced and he ask the mud audience for an opinion. You can imagine the feedback it was hysterical.

It'll make it to the mall and back at least twice!

Yes, it works very well for what we do. It is a Front Runner Wind Cheetah v1.

I'm leaning toward the full length version. Any complaints about it? Wind noise? Signs of corrosion (it's a bit more moist up here)?

I thought the guy strapped a ocean going escape pods on top of his rig. I've actually never read more funny stuff on a post asking for folks opinion in almost 10 years on here.

No complaints. I've ridden with bikes and skis on a rack for years, so wind noise was expected. I'd just recommend trying to minimize it with a fairing. Here's another photo of the rack on top of the vehicle - I attached a Yakima fairing using their landing pads attached to the FR tracks. Works great. Only thing I would do differently would be to turn the fairing around. I'm not much for advertising brands, etc. Front Runner makes great stuff IMO.

Adjustable air spoiler with integrated lights...

Side skirts, for the kids to climb, vertical for the luggage not to move., double deck to carry things like plywood and then other items on the top..

Sideways Extension but able to rotate (to load up the bicycles for example)

If you rotate the stems the structure become totally flat and very rigid.

Back side for climbing to, or as a plaftform extension (almost 2" )

You're using aluminum tubing from what looks like hanggliders, bicycle stems and skateboards to build a roof rack?

Looks more like a wake board

I'm reminded of a guy I saw a few years back. He'd somehow managed to get a whole bull elk on top of a Subaru, (not even a wagon but sedan). He was crawling up Homestake Pass at about 6mph. I felt a bit guilty as I passed him in a longbox quad cab truck.
