Antidote Outdoors Roof Rack/Platform - Any Experience?

[r.stevens]

First, I love this rack. It is incredibly stout. I repurposed my wind diffuser (2nd photo) from my other rack then headed out on the highway. Got up to 75 mph and zero high-pitched whine from any wind noise. I also installed the four feet I purchased from Deezee (3rd photo). They twist down and rest on the rooftop.

Sounds like I’ll be getting a wind diffuser

Hey r.stevens which wind diffuser is that and how does it attach?

I've assembled my rack but haven't mounted it on theJeep yet - still trying to figure out how to mount my Rotopax mounts onto the t-slots of the rack before I do so, no luck s far.

I had to drill a few holes for some bolts. It comes with metal rivets but they won’t work in the track.

I too am looking for hardware to attach stuff.

Did anyone mount a RTT to it yet?

I have an iKamper SkyCamp and am currently looking for a rack. I’m unsure about the gutters being able to support the weight of this setup, however.

I just threw a smittybilt Overlander xl on last night. It’s just ratchet strapped at the moment as my buddy forgot the hardware at his house. But I’ll have that last this evening. I’ll post pics once secured.

How much time to get on/off, (assuming I've done it before, not the first time). I'm thinking about the half rack.

To get the rack off or a tent?

thehalf rack has 6 feet total and each one is secured with one bolt/mount on the gutters.
The tent we through up quickly and I’m looking at using the quick clamps from front runner so I can unclamp and take off much quicker than ratcheting some bolts.

A little more tweaking here and there but I’m pleased.

Finally installed mine yesterday (short version), no wind noise on surface roads at 45 mph, and any noise on the freeway at 75-80 mph was no different to the noise when driving those speeds in a JL on a mildly breezy day.

Mounted a couple of Rotopax using the T-Rail easily enough, waiting for delivery of a Maxtrax mount then I'll be good to go.

Will give it a proper test on our next desert trip, which will be soon.

Initial impression is very favorable, all the more so at this price point.

These reviews are great! I actually just pulled the trigger on a half rack for my JKU. Their customer service was super prompt. I sent an email with a question and got a reply within 30 minutes and after I pulled the trigger 10 minutes later they sent me an en email back saying they just shipped it. This was all within a 1 hour window!

Is your wind diffuser the 50"? Would the 52" fit better or would it be to big?

Just measured mine. It was the 50" and I had to cut it down to 46" to fit the very front piece. I then installed the other 2 cut-off pieces back a little and in front of the two front brackets.
