    Nothing in particular, just some shots from straight on front/rear/sides to see about how far off the truck the rack sits. I'm guessing due to the price, I haven't seen too many people running the FR rack, so aren't too many pics of them installed (at least that I've seen, but maybe I'm looking in the wrong places).

    Did you notice any additional wind noise or drop in mileage after installing it? The mileage may not be that noticeable with all of the other mods you have...I see from your sig that you're already around 15mpg.

    Yea I have only seen about 3 or 4 trucks with the front runner roof racks. They are a great piece of gear. I am going to put an internal cage inside of the sod topper and put another front runner rack above that.

    Front runner includes a wind deflector that goes jut under the front of the rack and there is no noise with that installed. Without that, it's like you are inside of a wind tunnel.

    MPG wise I did lose about a 1/2 MPG but I also put a pelican case and some crap up there so that contributed to it as well. Considering everything I have done to the truck, I am pleased with the MPG. But with that being said, a Toyota D4D will make its way into this truck in the next few years. Maybe I can get 30 MPG out it with the front mount intercooler.

    A fellow member on here bought it. Said he was going to strip it down, remove the headlight guards and line-x it.

    The bumper needs those gaps (I think we set it at a 1/2") or else the bumper can pop the fender flares off. Happened when I first put on the All-Pro bumper.

    The All-Pro bumper was good for its time and what it was meant for.

    I just needed a more heavy duty bumper with more clearance. I could have just cut the All-Pro bumper back but then I still would have been left with is a bumper I would not feel comfortable hitting a deer with.
