Are you saying that the freedom panels can be removed with the front extensions in place or do the front extensions have to come off to remove/install panels?

Thanks

The panels can be removed without touching or altering the rack in anyway. There's enough room to pop them off and slide up and off.

Yup I've not stood straight up on it but I have climbed up there and it easily supported me, I'm not much of a load though only 170lbs. It's an exceptionally SOLID rack, trust me.

Of course MBRP won't say when this year they'll be releasing a new rack for the 2011/2012's.

It's kinda a mystery like the iphone 5...
