Long-Term Update/Thoughts
Full length racks are awesome! I've put all kinds of stuff up there that I would normally need a trailer for. I still haven't added lights and I still plan to do a light bar up top but a lot of things are on hold till I graduate.
I have been thinking about designing a quick release (perhaps with some aero feet!) for the whole rack so I can take it off when it's not needed or if I need access to the roof (like how I need to touch up the Monstaliner under it).
It is still very solid though and very useful though. Very little road noise but I do suspect that it has robbed as much as 2-3mpg from the truck. It's of the reasons I was thinking about a quick release.
In other news I have 3 semesters left and I'll have a BA in Economics. More importantly though I have a couple of businesses interested in my graduation date. Not sure where I'm going to end up but it will be a better place lol.
