    Yes, that will be my additional lights and act as a wind deflector.

    Hows the wind noise or lack there of? Looks great by the way.

    Tried doing that with my 40". Fit everywhere except the center of the roof where it arc's. I was about 5 min away from a hammer and a huge dent in the roof before I decided on the main mount on the front.

    That is where I added the washers, directly under the tray. If I add any more I'll need longer bolts and it starts to become obvious there is a stack of washers there. The good thing is that I do not notice any deflection in the roof around the antenna, but have not added a ton of weight up there yet either.

    Skygear...thanks for throwing up all the pics. They'll sure be helpful to someone as well...:) Btw...before I get the 40", I'm gonna try and fab a bracket to mount to the rack to run my 50" radius. I'm not giving up yet...:D The caveat is that it has to look conformal and not ghetto. I'm too OCD to have something looking like shit...lol

    I'll ask steve again. He has been pretty opposed to them in the past. I just need slats, gas cans, and another holder.

    Skygear,
    How far does the rack extend beyond the attachment points to the side edge? Show me a pic from above looking down on it. If you can stand on the back bed edges?
