I am looking at it as $1219.00. Three part #’s separate or a complete kit.

After looking again you're correct on the price. I thought all 3 items were needed.

Has it come yet? How do you like it? I’m curious about wind noise.

Test drive in the morning, fit and finish very good.

Looks great. Definitely interested in more pictures and a wind noise report

Also curious to know if it interferes with the shark fin antenna.

Can we get more pictures? Maybe from behind, and from other angles not hidden by awning. Thanks

Well the first day driving we had 40 mph winds so everything was very loud. The initial driving experience had a weird buffeting on the vehicle roof. So much so that if you placed your hand on the headliner, you could feel the entire roof of the vehicle shaking. I have removed the awning in an attempt to isolate if the awning was causing the vibration. I placed the awning mounting brackets at the very front and very back of the rack. It appears that that portion of the rack is not directly bolted to the base rails and may be unsupported my theory is that there may have been some isolation as a result of this. If the noise and vibration is gone, I will place the awning back on with the brackets on one of the cross members that have bolts to the mounting rail.

For now, the verdict is out. It will continue to update but fit and finish is amazing.

Although that will only matter if I can solve the buffering oscillating shaking issue.

Plus today will also be less windy and hopefully a better representation of daily driving.

I appreciate the update. The rack looks great so hopefully you can get the noise/vibration sorted out.

Following for updates.

Out of Stock. I'll wait a few months for the price to come down.

Would it be possible to get a measurement on single slat width (car movement direction of measurement).

Well no awning and less wind today, made for a better drive today. Still have noise and buffeting, but is it more or less than OTHER racks?

I had LFD RACK on my 4Runner. It was louder but fit no shake the roof.

Have a few more things to try.

And a picture of the bar width.
