2016 Toyota Tacoma FrontRunner Slimline II rack

I've seen that others have purchased this rack and just wanted to get opinions on it in regards to wind noise, utility, etc. Thinking of hauling kayaks on it. I know there are some other threads with some info mixed in but was hoping to have a consolidated one without group buy, etc in it. Thanks!

It's either the Frontrunners or the Pinsus... this thread will help me decide.

 

Yeah that was my other consideration. However I have found several posts about people having a bit more wind noise than they would like with the Pinsus + some holes not lining up. So far I have only heard good things about the Frontrunners. Want to be sure though before I drop all the cash on the FrontRunner.

 

it boggles my mind that rack designers do not take wind noise into serious consideration... I don't want to jump to any quick assumption about Pinsus, but if that's true, it's really disappointing.

 

Well, just keep in mind that I'm not trying to trash anyone's products. I don't personally have the Pinsus and I'm sure it's a good rack. I'm just saying that out of the two, the Frontrunner seems to have the best reviews. At least in my research so far.
