    Understand your POV, when you are born in an area hot or cold…. One’s body gets acclimated to that.
    I grew up in the heat and humidity….
    But I like the cold too, just have to have enough on to deal.

    I never said it didn't have it's draw back. But given my choices, well, you already know. :)

    Finally got my LFD roof bar kit installed. I have no need for a full rack but wanted to make the roof rails more useful for Home Depot runs, traction boards, beach stuff .

    Wife (we) own 2 restaurants so we took a "road test" drive to see about opening tomorrow. Got in a little bind with some ice and snow, so popped it into 4Lo and it was easy peasy lemon squeezy!

    you're a 911 dispatcher? Bless you!!! I don't have the patience....both sides, the ridiculous and the sad/heart tuggers.

    And i hate winter also! But in MS (i know from living in Gulfport as a kid, i know the opposite side of the state) the summer humidity is killer too. But give me that any day over a blizzard.

    I like those a lot.
    Can I trouble you for a measurement? How far above the factory rail is the top edge of the mounting bracket?

    Hahaha! I have family in Texas. It's okay. But they do have tornadoes. In any case, either option is better than Cali at this point in time.

    Few things done, wolfbox G900 Pro installed and wired up clean through headliner gasket and behind the spoiler. Cleaned up the roof rack wiring with the Blaze Off-Road Backbone harness to run 1 wire from the rack to control the BD s8 light bar/backlit function and both white/amber modes of the scene lights. Also added an AMPs A-Pillar Grab handle mount for GoPro or whatever else

    Very interesting. Wondering how the functionality if it is better than the T-10 unit which is pretty popular. Would love for you to test things out and give an update.

    Thanks! Appreciate the support. :)

    It's always funny when I was in band at Ole Miss, we had a lot of folks from the Coast. And I mean a LOT. And what was so funny, people up this way think ANYTHING south of Jackson is "near the coast." Which while it is, it's like NO! One of my friends from the Coast always said you could tell a person from the Coast by the glow in their smile. Never fully understood that (even to this day).

    I can relate. Whenever we go to South Florida (not Biloxi or Gulfport), I find I always have a smile on my face!

    just sayin’

    I like those a lot. Seem to be much more useful than the stock cross bars. Questions:

    Aluminum extrusion version?
    Do you have a measurement of the gap between the bottom of the fairing and the roof?
    Wind noise at speed?

    Thanks.

    Is that a claymore on the side of your roof rack?

    Finally got my Raingler net today... Tired of this cold already. I have list of projects that I'm been waiting to do already (Remote Start, Anytime Camera, Raingler Net Install, some stereo upgrades). Spring is around the corner.

    It's 7* here, too. I said 9uck it and ran it through the touchless wash anyway. Glad I did it. I hate having a salty vehicle.
