    The Bravo rack, from a relatively new company called upTOP Overland.

    Their branding aside, I've been researching racks for quite a while and this one has a number of details/features that most do not. Looking forward to tailoring it to my needs/wants, for sure.

    Here are the things that stuck out to me:

    - The entire rack is 5052 aluminum and the hardware is 316 stainless, which is dope for both strength and corrosion resistance. Not uncommon necessarily, but worth noting.

    - The fairing is actually something that caught my eye. It's intentionally designed to allow air to flow below and above the rack, whereas most racks (like Prinsu, Victory 4x4, etc.) only have fairings at downward angles, with a rubber protectant from damaging the roof.

    - One of my goals of having a rack was scene, or alley, lighting. This would help for camping, inclement weather, night wheeling, whatever. This is the only rack (that I've seen) that incorporates cutouts for BD rock lights in each corner. An added bonus is that the housing is injected-molded ABS made by MESO customs - huge fan of his products.

    - The rack is longer and wider than most others, with no drilling required for attachment.

    - Side panels come with what they call "groovetek," which are cutouts for attaching straps/bungies to secure whatever is on the rack. Little details like that are cool to me.

    Did you finally get your suspension on? Or still working on that?

    Haven’t tackled it yet. Looking forward to it though. How’s it been treating you?

    I was doing 40-45k a year and I’m currently just over 10k. The majority of that has been driving around tuning people.

    Yea, I guess if I punish myself a little longer on the stock suspension it will only make the upgrade feel better

    After much deliberation with @Sasquatch3153 , Leaning to the OME nitro charger kit. Going to go soft coils and shocks up front. I'll upgrade it when I get a bumper eventually. But I can't justify suspension and a bumper at the same time right now. and the current hodgepodge of suspension components I have is not doing it when we're out on the trails. It's functional but it hurts lol

    They’ve been around for 2 years now.

    What are your questions? I 100% recommend a bravo rack

    Cut & broke off stuff. Prolific ziptie and tape usage.
    Sounds like you'd fit in playing with us out in TN. May have to try to find pictures of dude in the lake trying to wiggle out the sliding rear glass over his tool box or the time at least 3 of us were stuck at edge of the lake at the same time. Fun times.
