@inater is the wind deflector on your rig the frontrunner item? Same with the light bar mount?

 

Does anyone have the BA Tents / newdefendermods.com roof rack that can comment on wind noise?

 

Due to the weather things have been a little delayed. The first of four boxes finally arrived today and as luck would have it this box was the main rack. The box looked a little worse for wear but the parts inside were mostly good to go. There was a couple small spots that the black had been worn off but nothing big nor to really worry about. I bet I do more damage myself putting stuff up there once mounted.

The rack went together nicely. I have everything together without loctite at this point. My plan is to put all the roof mount bits on and mount the rack to make sure everything lines up properly. Then I will go around and loctite and tighten everything. Will also wait for final adjustment of the extra crossbars for when I mount some ROAM cases. The light mounts will get moved into final position once the rack is on the roof. Included picture just to show what it all looks like and how it fits together.

Here is the progress so far.

 

I installed the BA Tents roof rack, and yes - wind noise was horrible. It sounded like a freight train. I ended up making a spoiler and that solved the problem. Happy with the rack now.

 

Hey, sorry for the late response! The wind deflector is FR and the light bar is from Rough Country.

At this point I am starting to think this is going to be a very slow process. Apparently customs is going to clear one box per week. Four boxes total with two delivered. A week between them. So it is looking like it will take a month to get the whole order. Today the aero conversion kit arrived. Still waiting on the floor panels and most importantly the vehicle mounting parts. Put a couple more bits together just to see how it is fitting together. Fit and finish are very nice.

Aero front fitting parts.


Added a Camel Trophy sticker.

 

All the parts finally arrived so I was able to complete the install. Very pleased with the end result. The aero front definitely makes a difference in total noise. Added some ROAM 83 liter cases as well.

 

I like the Trophy sticker!

 

Thanks. I do too. My wife not so much lol. 😂

 

Looks great! I wanted to order it since it was launched a while back but there were very few pictures on the site. Does the rack require you to modify anything to the vehicle? Can you open the sunroof? Cheers👍
