Show us your rack!

Right on thanks for the feedback. I know no rack would be silent, but i just wanted to make sure there was not any unusually loud noise spots.

 

No, it’s not a howler or anything

 

I have the same rack and have been adjusting the wind fairing. Do you find its less noisy adjusted further down towards the roof? Or further up?

 

Further down mostly. But there's a fine line before the crossbar touches the roof. I'm worried about that rubbing through the roof paint when I have the rack loaded up. When it warms up around here, I think I'm going to add some anti-chafe tape and tweak the holes a bit to keep that from happening. That way the wind fairing can be a bit closer to the vehicle. I think there's about a 1/8" gap at the lowest point, but the curve of the Sherpa fairing doesn't hug the roof very well. It gets a little further apart as it goes toward the edges.

 

Luckily I have a strip of paint protection film on that area of the roof. Thanks!

 

What is the bolt size for the 8 bolts that hold done the roof rack, I know it take a 12mm socket. But what is the thread and lenght of bolt?

 

M8 x 1.25 if I recall correctly.

length, I’m not sure of, I’m not using factory bolts anymore.

 

Thanks, if anyone knows the lenght that would be help as well.

 

Roof rack bolts(the attach the rails to the roof) m8x1.25x50

Also for everyone running full size racks, the front mounts(closest to windshield) did you have to drill for them?

 

Sherpa Crestone w/Xtreme LED 44" amber/white for the win!

 

Enjoying my Prinsu rack quite a bit, still solid (no rattling) after a few pretty heavy off road trips. BajaDesigns 7xl Linkable (stupid bright), Roam box, rotopax (actually need the gas once already), BD S2 Sport chase lights which are probably my favorite part

 

How do you like the xtreme led light bar? Do they ever go on sale? $420 seems like a pretty decent price.

 

Every time I see this thread title, I wish one of your beautiful wives would show the rack...

 

I love it! very low profile so my paddle boards can sit right on top with no issues and little to no wind noise. My pictures do not do this rack/bar set up justice. I literally sit and stare out my office window at it all the time now. There is a stock white 4th gen SR5 parked next to me almost daily and mine looks SSSSOOOOOOOO much better! It's not even close!

 

I am thinking about adding a 42” Diode Dynamics lightbar to my Gobi rack. It’s about the same price as the extremeled one, and I already have their SS3 Pro fog lights, so… why not? Lol

 

I wonder if this one will work with the Sherpa Crestone roof rack as well?

 

These go on and off in two minutes.

 

You HAVE TO post some light output pics with this light setup! It should turn night into day!!!

Please post pics!!!

 

I will, I promise. No immediate dirt trips planned so I will try to get some this weekend without getting arrested. The BD linkable bar really does turn night into day, it is just stupid bright as I said, really no other way to put it. The distance is bonkers as well, pretty much full 180 degree coverage. Very happy with them.

 

So I made this.... yeah its not 100% perfect but it'll do




Its plenty strong(fucking solid) and cost me $300 in materials and 6 hrs of my valuable time.

 

Looks real nice! What lights are you running on the Gobi.

 

I

 

Which light bar is that on the Gobi?

 

Roof rack light is Rigid 40” RDS-series wired to SPod

 

Thanks. The fronts are 6" E-series Pro and the rears are 6" SR-series

 

ARB Flat rack

 

Almost there...


Parked at work. You can see I forgot to remove the marking tape for the fairing. Lol.

 

Can you give us more details? It is really nice looking.
