    Can someone with the plano cases mounted on a cabrac please measure from the top of the cab to the highest point on the rack, and then another measurement to the highest point on the plano case from the top of the cab?

    I am looking to get one and mount the plano cases but worried about the height for pulling into my garage, just trying to see how much overall height it would add.

    Info is much appreciated!

    Dynatrac ProRock 60 Rear Axle, that is important enough.
    Still waiting for Zach to release some awning mounts to be able to cleanly mount a 4ft awning off the back of the rack.

    I hoped he drill my cross bars. Now I hope the awning mount will fit the goals I have.

    I haven't installed mine yet but I believe the rack adds 2.75" to the roof and Plano case will vary depending on which one you buy, but mine is 6"

    Got a cabrac installed today. Looks great and super solid. What is everyone doing about the wind noise? Started browsing in this thread but that may take weeks.

    Thanks!

    Had some giant flood pods sitting around in the garage 6,000 lumens a piece that I found a perfect little spot for. Figured those would be nice for setting up camp

    Honestly because they're aluminum, I would say probably half that. 25-30 lbs. they're pretty light. The box mine came in was pretty light. Maybe Zach could chime in and tell us the weight @zscott

    Shipment weight on my box was 45 lbs. lowered the wind screen and it t helped tremendously with noise.

    crap bolted and welded together....
    So.... didnt see it on the site, nor my searching key words in this thread. But @zscott, where would one get the sweet traction ramp locking bracket thing... the simple padlock, two piece design.
