Does your lightbar run in a straight line following the windshield up or does it get to the top of the windshield and bend to where the very top of the lightbar is perpendicular (straight up and down) to the ground? If your bar doesn't bend to straight up and down at the top, it is not a Recon version and the smaller wind deflector is made for the RECON versions of the Ranger and Stealth...and I don't think it fits the standard Ranger and Stealth racks.

I don't have any other pics yet, I'll try and snap some tomorrow.

Heres what he was asking you about if you have the RECON verson. Mine is Recon. But I just put the deflector on and dont have any pics yet of it but I do like it a lot. It just added a crap load of flapping. I did the noodle mod to reduce it but I havent tested it yet. The top is down. We'll see tomorrow though.

My lightbar follows the windshield up but does not bend perpendicular to the ground. Ranger version?

Update*

The noodle mod worked perfect and eliminated all noise (not very shocking, it worked great for a bunch of people). No flappinng, and its almost as quiet as I remember my hard top being. If you haven't done it, I would.....

Just got a new package in the mail today!

Gobi hooked me up with a removable, adjustable, additional cross bar. I can now temporarily add another cross bar for items that require just a bit more support, like my soon to be ordered RTT

Can you please provide more information. I could really use something like this for my setup. I don't see anything on their site about it. Thanks!
