    Hey man great setup, hows that solar panel working out for you? Link to the panel?
    Im planning on doing arb fridge and a small waterpump/airpump. Hoping to find a panel that can keep up.

    Not that I have noticed. Probably helped that I had added sound deadening to the roof during audio install

    Anybody seen this yet?? Thoughts? For me it seems that it may be pretty useful with attachments and tie down locations. I'd like to keep it as low as possible so I'd have to research mounting the Rev Rack.

    Prinsu is pretty streamline (barely notice mine up there). Depends on what you haul on top that makes a difference.

    Everything is stock on my OR except for the Prinsu, and I feel I lost somewhere between 1 and 2 mpg. I only had the truck around 4 months before I put the prinsu on, and in that time I was getting a final tank MPG around 21 mpg. Afterwards, it's dipped to being consistently in the 19's.

    Some quick math with some me-specific assumptions, and it works out to almost $200 more a year in gas costs.

    All things being equal, I lost about 1 to 1.5 MPGs from my frontrunner.

    Facts of life. Some folks report none. Same with other brands. It’s totally dependent on your driving conditions and use. I’ve meticulously kept gas mileage since I’ve bought the truck - just my observation.

    That said, if you’re buying a roof rack to actually put things on it - you’re going to lose some MPGs. I didn’t buy my truck to be concerned with fuel efficiency so it really doesn’t bother me.

    I'll still be getting either a prinsu or frontrunner but didn't know it was that significant. Oh well.
