I installed one of those to carry my canoe. I couldn't agree more with you. The noise is ridiculous. I only add the "top" piece when I am hauling the canoe. If I remember correctly Rugged Ridge advertised this light bar as quiet and with no wind buffeting due to the deflector welded in there. Total Bullshit.

if i didnt spend all day putting the dam thing together, i think i would try and send it back....it looks great but it is terrible for wind.
anyone have any ideas out there to help reduce the wind?
granted i don't have lights mounted on it yet. So maybe thats what you hear , the wind whistling between the lights.
