Frontrunner Rack with OEM roof rails
For those interested, here is the Frontrunner Rack on my Defender. I went with the OEM version because I wanted something shorter. I believe the smaller the area, the smarter decisions you will make on what you take and leave home. I jammed it towards the back to limit cabin wind noise. It is still there once you hit 65, but I will be putting on a fairing, which will further reduce it.

I bought the front runner with their own proprietary rails and it’s assembled and waiting to go
on my wife’s truck. I’ll update once it goes on, but I have to get a junk disco out of the garage first. I wanted the longer rack because I have two little kids and when we travel, plus our dog, we have to bring EVERYTHING with us. So I needed it to be longer. The short one looks great though!
mine has nine standard cross bars. How many does the short rack have?

i asked the guys at front runner if there was any radio interference and they swore none, through lots of testing even without the cutout. So i'm optimistic. I have the Pano roof too, and i've seen some guys with light bars have an issue with the roof opening if there's not enough clearance, so it'll be interesting.
