    So after reading thru hundreds of post I have some questions that I couldn't find answers to.

    I seen someone complain about noise. Are the rest of you experiencing this?

    I don't see an option for the full wind deflector without a light bar, where are you guys that have them getting them?

    And how many that have one have added more cross bars?

    Thanks for entertaining my questions. I'm about 90% sold on this one.

    Did you have mounting tracks on your topper already? I did't get any on mine and trying to figure out if its worth putting them on or just mounting it to truck?

    yes, i got mine from Amazon, a while back. I can see if i can find the order and see how much $$ was it, (I think it was relatively cheap) if youre going to mount to the camper measure measure measure lol and sealant sealant sealant.

    side note, the height will be effected given the option you go with. the ride height was on point with the tracks and mounts, but that can also be due to the position of the tracks on your topper. Snugtop, has a location on the camper that you can add tracks and be supported. FYI

    Ok I made the plunge. Got a rack ordered for cab and the back. My plan is to mount it to the KB Voodoo bed rack for now. If that ends up not being a good combination, then I will hold on to the back half until I get around to getting a shell.

    Don't know if anyone has done this, but I figured I'd share. I'm running (2) Pelican 1750s, (4) Maxtrax, and a Pelican 1450 at the rear/center (for easy access of essentials from my RTT). I wanted to keep it modular so that I can remove the cases and boards by simply unbolting 2 of the extrusions, but at the same time not compromise its security. I did this by using SS tamper protect flat head spanners with black ano countersunk washers. I was very impressed with the results and how clean the rack looked with the flats and washers. Each pair of washers abutt each other perfectly.

    Anyone have dimensions on the rack? How long the cross bars are and the side rails themselves?
