    Quickly skimmed though the thread and didn't see an answer. Anyone know if you can put a kayak on the roofrack?

    These racks can handle a RTT without issue. Kayaks will be a cake walk!

    Forgot to post these. Got the wind deflector with the 40" cut out and put the light bar in it. A bit more wind noise but shit my truck is loud enough I just crank the radio up haha thanks @zscott !

    So glad I went with the single row, looks so clean! Thanks to @geekhouse23 and a few others for that tip!

    I just installed a single row LED bar and it whistled so bad. I ended up buying some car door trim and putting it on the bottom fin of the heatsink and almost eliminated it completely. I am almost wondering something like that on the wind deflector could eliminate most of the noise

    Rigid SR2! I've had Chinese bars before and as long as you have something to reflect the light off of (trees, buildings etc..) they are fine but take them to an open field and it's useless. All about optics. This light bar is better than my old 40" double row curved.

    That might help but in my past putting that on the light bar eliminated the whistle/whine they make (don't have any with this bar) and this is just a wind noise like wind hitting the rack. If that makes sense

    Rigid SR2

    Got the rack mounted! Pics later, as it was after dark when we got it on finally. Looks great! Thanks @zscott! We will see on the highway wind noise tomorrow as I drive out to the shop to get the lift installed.

    @zscott Do you make these racks for GMCs? I swear I saw a prinsu rack on a full size truck out here in Arkansas.
