    Workin' on it....
    Question - with the load bars only .3” above the roof line is there any concern for deflection under load that contact would be made?

    How much weight have you had on this rack?

    They did some load testing and did notice a small amount of deflection while they stood on top of it (200lbs)? But that was at the center and only at one point. Unless you plan on putting more than 200lbs at one point on one bar, I think you should be fine.

    EDIT: Also, maybe this photo of them standing on their cars on will suffice:

    They had a video of themselves standing on it on their story at one point too.

    What @CttAznRanger said! Almost zero deflection.

    This looks dope; I can't wait to read some of the reviews. I know for me at least, prinsu has been marked off my list and "the alpha" has been added.

    Holy smokes, man! I am brand new to TW, and really joined to seek out some insight and advice on gear I plan to add to my truck. I decided I want to invest in a roof rack, and have been in contact with Prinsu and Rocky Mtn Racks, comparing prices, styles, and their military discounts. I hopped over to TW and joined so that I could search the forum for advice on “which one is better,” and to see if there were any group buys going on.

    Then I found this thread. And I sat here all morning reading through the entire 27 pages of comments. I am sold. I jumped to IG and followed upTOP, and then headed over to the website... except... the website isn’t working?

    How do I order one of these BA racks?!

    Alright folks, we're finally live on the website. I would like to apologize in advance in the event that something doesn't work, you know, Murphy's law. If anybody sees an error, or would like something reflected on the site, please let me know and I'll do everything I can to change/add/fix it, within reason. We built the rack based off your feedback and the website will be nothing short of that. Feel free to double check the shipping prices against the ups.com website as well to make sure everything seems correct.

    www.uptopoverland.com

    Your feedback will be greatly appreciated!

    -Mike

    Just put in an order last night. Now time to pick a 40" BD bar. Website looks great and easy to navigate. Awesome job!

    Edit : second guessing whether I should place a light bar up there with all this jazz about glare..

I can come by the shop if you guys wanna check it out for that antenna replacement, not sure how much of a need there is for that specific replacement? Im also not super sure how relevant this issue is now but give me a shout if you need
