    I suppose any roof rack makes noise. Yes, there is wind noise, I did not think it was bad....... Just was there.... but after I got used to it, I do not hear it. I have nothing to compare too. Sorry.

    I can tell you that after I met with the fabricator, he recommended I move the wind deflector as close to the roof as possible and get a gasket, which made a huge difference.

    I didn't put anything on the leading edge of the fairing, and had installed it on the lowest setting so that it was closest to the truck.. didn't notice any additional wind noise to be concerned with, even up to 120kph.

    As soon as I moved it up one setting, however, and it's considerably noticeable. Enough, in fact, that I will be lowering it back down this weekend.

    Nice thing about the whole setup is that it is extremely easy to move around if you find that you aren't happy with where you put it.

    Does anyone know what size bolts fit in the track? I ordered some M6 hammerhead bolts but those didn't fit.

    Just ordered one also! Can't wait to get it on. Tacomas look kind of naked without a rack up there.

    I was just getting ready to order this and take a gamble on the sizing based on some videos. That's awesome thanks!

    I mounted a ROAM Adventure awning to my Martin rack. I used HDPE for spacers. I will order some Prinsu or UpTop brackets when I get around to it.......as I am not happy with the piece of crap brackets that came with the awning.

    I have been running the Martin Off Road Roof Rack since this spring. Gage worked with me to ensure fitment and I did purchase Prinsu's wind deflector which works perfectly for cutting down wind noise. I also ground down the stock Prinsu rack eye hook t slot nuts to fir the Martin. Overall I am very happy with it. I usually carry a 2nd spare and a camping gear box, and occasionally I carry a 7 gallon water container. Everything is super solid and the rack it very well built with quality powder coating. I wanted to support a small business and a US company, and I wholeheartedly endorse Martin Off Road.A6247A38-940F-4F7D-BAEC-DE45B7754CFC_1_201_a.jpg7899DE00-A320-4E96-AFED-E8FF5C6DB18B_1_201_a.jpgB73407D1-060C-4CA6-A7AE-0B75B6788F3C_1_201_a.jpg

    The Prinsu rubber gasket is only $15, on my list. Love me some cement.
