Crossbar choices for factory rails??

[mdmountainman]

sounds like good plan! I just picked up some cargo molle & pet barrier from Victory, all their stuff seems super solid. I ended up going 3/4 rack from Westcott Designs as want to leave it on.

I almost switched and got the victory 3/4 length. If my use case changes and I end up needing them a lot, I can always go to something like that later.

Run a strip of this or something similar along the bottom edge. I used this on other projects and it works great.

Thanks for the advice! Looks like cheap and easy enough insurance.

Is any one heard or try Rhino SportZ cross bars ? all I'm trying to install my RTT. (Skycap mini 3.0) or spend little more and get a 3/4 ARB rack

Well Installed the victory 4x4 crossbars and I have to say that I am a bit disappointed. They come off with tools but not as easily as I had hoped. The hex head screws seem to be cheap as I stripped one of them tightening it. Tgere was also a couple corners scuffed on one of the brackets. I just dabbed with some paint and nobody will ever notice it but it was there.

I was also hoping there was an outside chance the noise wouldn’t bother me and I could just leave them on but they are LOUD. Like really LOUD.

By the shape, not surprised they are noisy.

We're running Yakima Timberline towers with HD bars from a previous vehicle. They're a beefier bar than the stock crossbars, so they do generate a bit more wind noise. Wanted to stick with the HD bars as they are flat and do not have a slight curvature to them. We primarily carry bikes but want to have a heavy duty bar for a RTT down the road.

I am wondering if the Rago bars are loud. The seem like they'd be ok, especially if a wind fairing could be designed for the factory rack.
