Great video instructions from Powerful UK also. You need some random tools for it as well (tamperproof torx)... I ordered those on
Amazon Amazon
and they worked perfect for the install

Happy that it worked out for you in the end. Please let us (me) know what you think of the Milltek. I have been on the fence for quite a while and need someone to push me off.

The only issue with the rack is the wind noise. I am going to buy the front runner rubber gaskets to fill all the open slots, and I am in the hunt for a wind deflector as the stock unit isn't great. In speaking with a front-runner service agent, they recommended this particular model of deflector, but also had this to say about it:
I have their deflector on my rack and it does fit and make full contact. Can send a better picture later today if you are interested. To be honest though with everything on my rack I can't tell a huge difference haven't run it really with nothing else on my rack.

Also just to add to the above. FR black Friday sales are about to start and I believe the deflector will be 40% off so you might want to wait till then to grab one and any other accessories you've been eying @leebones . That's what I did last year and saved $300-400.

Looks great! Any chance you know the frontrunner part number/SKU for the one you have?

This is the SKU for the one they recommended :SKU: RRAC143. Frontrunner says it's for widths 1165MM to1255MM. I'd prefer to get the same one that you have, in case there is a difference!
Here is the link to that version of their Wind Fairing: https://www.frontrunneroutfitters.co...mm-1255mm.html

-TIA
