    Is anyone running a 50" light bar with the oem roof rack? I'd like to keep my roof rack and still run a roof bar up there?
    Let me know guys!

    Not enough
    That 40" bar appears to fit between the mounting rails perfectly! Sub'd for your mounting outcome. Good luck!

    For guys with roof mounted light bars, do you get a lot of wind noise or have you noticed a drop in fuel economy?
