Any word on the whistling? Do yours or have the rails been improved? I’ve been on the fence about them.
Heave not heard any whistling but I have not been on the highway with the top closed and windows up yet, first really nice weekend and am enjoying the sunshine.

I should also add that I have the rack mounted 5-1/2” farther back (front and rear to match) from what the instructions say, basket was too far back when following the specs in the instructions and not centered. Added the Yakima lock cores per the roof rack thread, fit perfect.

Blacked out the front grill and fog light bezels on my Sahara. Red tow hooks and black badges are next.

Out of curiosity, did you get the ticket for no mud guards because your Jeep was altered? I like the quick-release, but I think the ones for the rear flaps are too short. After I installed, I checked a few days later & one started to loosen a bit. Loctite solved it.
Yeah the lift and 37” tires put me on the illegal list in Utah. Dang I wish I had used my locktite.

Rear Cargo light is really anemic, even in the 2019 with updated interior lights.

The Brawlee on the rear glass is nice but only solves lighting issues when you have the hard top on the Jeep.

Tried my hand at an alternative today using a Ridgid Scene light.

I think my Jeep was angry that I haven't wheeled it in a while...

It took 17 minutes for the Jeep to roll down the driveway. It was in 2nd gear and the weight of the Jeep going downhill was turning the engine over. It finally reached a point where it could turn it over continuously and then hit the shed.

Watch this video clip from one of my security cameras. Watch how slow this thing moves over time. Haha.

Stupid shed... shouldn't have been talking shit.

(It's best to watch the video on your phone. You can slide the timer back and forth to watch everything much faster and see how slow the Jeep moves.)

Not hard. Figuring out how all the plastics come apart is hardest part. Wanted a switch that couldn't come on randomly from cargo, so the push button switch was my solution... Deeper than other switch types so wasnt sure it would fit.

Stole power and ground from 12v outlet and just ran wires up the roll bar. It was pretty simple. Just have to be okay drilling holes

Looks awesome. First thing when my Sahara comes in. What paint did you use?
