For Everyone Who Helped Me. Here's My Thule Rack

Ordered it last Saturday. Got it all in yesterday and installed it lastnight. Thanks to everyone who had suggestions! Y'all helped out a lot.

What do you guys think?

lookin good

 

Thanks everybody.

Tri: Being pretty new at all this, I didn't really know where to go. I did the research and settled on the Thule. Then I went to their website. They have a great "Fit Guide" that narrows down what you need. Worked super awesome for me. Anyway, I had to get the whole kit and kaboodle. I got the feet, kit (to mount on the truck), pair of load bars and the fairing (the wind-deflector on the front), w/ shipping it was $399. Probably pricey to some but I didn't want to order it from some jack leg or off ebay cuz you never know what shape they really are in. Anyway, $399 in all.

Here's the link to Thule's website: http://thule.com/ (just click on "Fit Guide", it's the second option at the top).

 

Looks good. Any wind noise? I had a roof rack on a previous 2007 FJ Cruiser and you could hear wind noise when traveling at highway speeds.

 

I had a Yakima on Mazdaspeed3, the install was a pain at times but the directions were more than sufficient. what are you planning on carrying?

 

Thanks for the info Brian. What is your primary use for it?

 

Taco4x4: Man, I have no wind noise to speak of. It's awesome. I guess we put that mother on good. It sounds just like it did before I had it. I've tested at speeds up to 95 mph on the interstate and it doesn't make a peep.

Rotor and Trico: I plan mostly on carrying my big wakeboard bag to the lake this summer. It's long and narrow with a board, bindings, vest, and rope in it. It took up a lot of space in the bed and limited the space I had for all the other stuff ( 4 gas jugs, cooler, other peoples crap). I thought about getting the board accessorie to go with the rack but it wont carry bindings so I'm just gonna strap it down and go. I'll carry anything else I feel or need too also but I got it mostly for the long lake weekends. First time I strap that bag up, I'll put some pics on here.

 

be cautious with just strapping things to the rack...I used to fear for my bike whenever i had it on top of my car, and that was actually in a rack!!!hahaha
