Haha

Saw a bunch of Defenders up there this past weekend. Fantastic snow. Need to grab that beer one of these days.

 

I have the LR expedition rack on my 2023 110 and yes it is noisy on the highway but today UPS delivered my Colorado Fairing and meeting my guy next week to install. Stay tuned for pics.

 

Keep me posted on this please. Wondering how much of a difference it actually makes.

I'm leaning toward just putting crossbars on the roof and forgoing the roof rack. Rack looks awesome, and the ladder has grown on me, but I could put Thule bars up there and use a cargo box when needed, hang an awning off the side if I want, etc. But not have to deal with the ladder or extra weight and noise when I don't want it. Plus I could still go to the car wash whenever I need to. (I know, I know... people are going to freak out, but whatever man, it's convenient. lol)

 

Does anyone know for sure that the weight rating Thule listed for their crossbars it’s the dynamic weight rating? I feel like it has to be but want to be absolutely sure that the 220 pound rating is for when the vehicle is in motion. I’m assuming the static weight rating is about three times that usually.

 

I went with the Thule bars as I did not want extra wind noise and most reports say there is noticeably more wind noise with the factory rack. So far I'm happy with them, I tried to position then so they'd be minimally noticeable through the sunroof but spaced appropriately for the Thule roof bubble I have. They're as expected so far.
