    I found the Hooke-Road roof rack on eBay a few months back for $222 w/shipping, and went to AutoZone for the Trimbrite Carbon Fiber adhesive film and the Cowles Black StyleGuard door trim so I could rest the front wind deflector down onto the roof so it doesn't vibrate. This rack is extremely heavy duty and about $500 less than the very nice Prinsu roof rack.

    Here are a couple of pics of the final installation. I'm not sure about the 4 roof lights in the front so let me know what you all think. I ended up notching the rear panel to fit over the antenna.

    Not a fan of the 4x roof lights in the front. But if they dont get in the way of cargo then they should be good.

    Nice job on the rear panel and LED's in the back, did you plumb them into the bed light switch?. I'm planning on a Slim 40" LED Bar for the front of my deflector, hopefully keeping it low so I can load lumber on top and not hit it. I'm about to pull the trigger on the Yakima Ovrhaul HD rack for the bed.

    Thanks for the replies. The front lights came with the rack and are just cheapos, nothing special. I am thinking about moving the 4 front lights down into the wind deflector. I would need to cut 4 square holes for them which would be tricky. If anyone has an easy way to do this please let me know.

    The rear lights are just some Amazon lights that I was going to put in the rear bumper. I decided to mount them in the rack instead. None of the lights are wired yet. I plan to run the wiring along the inside rail of the rack and then down the drivers side windshield channel. I will have them wired to 2 switches in a panel in place to the cubby on the left side of the dash. I am just waiting for the panel and the switches to arrive.

    I will post some pics of the lights wired up when I am done and if I decide to move the front lights into the wind deflector, I will post those pics as well.

    Looks good! Does the rear crossbar affect your radio reception since it is over the antenna?
