    I will say that these racks are solid as hell! The install is relatively easy, with a few things unexplained but manageable. The only issue we had was cutting one of the spacer holes 1/4" off but we still made it work.

    It did take a few hours to compete but we made a town run for silicon and burritos.

    Honestly though, the rack is a little loud on top. It's not unbearable, but it's noticeable. I'm going to look into ways to reduce the noise but has anyone had better luck removing the wind deflector? Long run I want to add an LED bar in replace of the deflector but that will take time. Any thoughts/experiences?

    I had the same thoughts/complaint. I expressed some concern over on PrInSu Design Studio Roof Racks BS Thread and got some helpful tips. Number one seems to be lowers the wind deflector to the bottom hole. I had mine mounted in the middle like yours and moved it down this afternoon and there was an appreciable difference. Next step for me will be to pick up a light bar since mine has the cutout -- which increases the noise. I was going to test raising it as well but didn't get around to it. If you do, I'd love to know if it's better than having it lowered.

    I noticed the same, as mentioned by @desertjunkie760
    I'll try to lower the fairing as well. I also heard the trim that's offered by @zscott helps a bit

    Received shipping notification last night.

    Given Portland's weather recently, I still don't expect it to get here for a few weeks. :)

    UPS has been awful for the last 2 weeks here with weather. Sometimes it updates right away and is at the hub. Sometimes it shows as delayed. Sometimes it shows as processed awaiting pickup and then it will all the sudden update. Don't ask me why but even incoming packages have been that way for my area since Christmas.

    She is home. Still have her on oxygen with bi-weekly checkups with the primary care physician but she is headed in the right direction.
