It went pretty easy, but they did mark the quick disconnects wrong. Marked the drivers side as the passenger side, so i was tryin' to figure that out. Other than that it went well. Adjusted a few things today, so its good to go and looks awesome!

Looks good. I really like mine. The main issue is wind noise / vibrations at high speed. Still trying to figure out correct placement of wind deflector.

I'll be takin it on the highway tomorrow mornin to go to work, so I guess i'll get that also from what I heard. I'll work with it until I get it right. I like the rack though.....makes my JK look ready for anything!

I drove at 70 mph with the wind deflector all the way down and didn't hear a thing. It was windy on the way to work, but didn't hear any odd noises from the roof. Hope this helps bro!

Looks great! I'd like a rack myself. The Gobi is the best looking by far but I might go Kargonaster since I'd remove it when not in use anyway. Couldn't deal with the wind noise.

I absolutely love mine! I've carried a ton of lumber on mine for building the decks at my house and use it all the time for my surfboards. The wind deflector I found works best all the way down. But sometimes the wind vibrates the deflector into the windshield frame at above 70.
I ordered 2 of those round rubber bumpers from Gobi that keep the light bar off of the windshield frame and attached them to the outer edges of the windscreen and problem solved.

It would be better if the wind deflector were thicker to keep the vibration down to nothing....JMO!
