Smittybilt Defender Roof Rack Installation
Installed a Smittybilt Defender roof rack yesterday and could't be happier.
Here is an install video we created. https://youtu.be/KCaQ5Ro3AA0

That is a great video! Looks great.
Do you know what the dynamic and static weight capacity is on these racks when mounted on a Jeep?
Is it noisy? Have you experienced any perceivable drag from it?
Thanks

I have noticed a bit of wind noise on the freeway, but no whistling or anything annoying. No perceived drag, but I'm sure it's affecting my mpg and will know to what extent after I run though a tank of gas.
Thanks for watching

Trailrecon. Small world! I just saw the video, and recognized your Jeep. Yesterday, driving home from work(downtown) heading up 163/15 north to Rancho Bernardo. Your Rack caught my eye (no pun intended). I thought the plate on the back was a light, until I got closer. I was also trying to see your CB Antenna install. I'm in the middle of installing CB and ARB compressor under the passenger seat.
Cheers!
Cheers!
