Finally got a chance to install the Backwoods Driftr full-roof rack I grabbed for Black Friday.
Besides just really liking the overall low-profile look and the great Black Friday price, the (other) 2 main factors that led me to choose this one over the competition were:
1 - I liked that you basically build it on the roof, making it a relatively easy solo install (opposed to building it off the vehicle, then trying to maneuver and attach it without scratching up your paint).
2 - It was the only full roof install I saw where you didn't have to cut the factory weatherstripping for the front mounts - they just sit on top.
I have noticed some slight wind noise up around 70 mph, but not bad at all. So far I've only done some minor tweaking to the fairing position but might try adjusting the overall height of the whole rack just to see how it affects it.
Besides, I'm sure once I throw the Baja Designs light bar (I also grabbed for Black Friday) on there, that's going to totally change things completely anyway....
But either way, I'm totally digging it so far! Super-solid and (in my opinion) looks great!
Note - the grab handles were add-ons purchased from Agency 6.
