A little fly fishing in western Va. We need some rain.

For light use I have landed on aerodynamic cross bars from Yakima that are low profile vs a full rack. I am hauling a cargo box, surf boards, fly rod carrier etc. I tried the off-road brand steel crossbars but they were almost as loud as the factory cross bars (terrible) and so stout that my...

What’s What’s your use case? Do you care about noise? Height? The only reviews on this site for the ARB mention it is stout and very loud.

Would love to find an alternative that improves approach angles and allows for recovery without potentially ripping the bumper off (what I suspect would happen with a stock truck) - but don’t need the winch currently.

Thank you! I noticed even in the official pics the fit varies.

I love the idea of adding a bumper w better clearance that is relatively easy to install, doesn’t remove the crash bar and keeps the cornering lights and all sensors. The recovery hooks give me pause - that looks like a very convoluted way to get to frame. Seen plenty of reviews of people who...

I removed the OEM OT crossbars as they were indeed loud and clunky and installed Yakima Railbars (which I had to buy from overseas because they are discontinued in the US. ) I love them. I can attach a Skybox and my fly rod rack but they are much lower profile and quiet.

And plenty of off-roaders need to sell them when they install rock sliders of all types.

I liked them for all those reasons (flexible placement vs. stock, multiple ways to attach items) If you are going to haul SUPs and you were hoping to put padding on them - you might want to see if it will fit. My Kuat quick release mounts for my fly rod holder just couldn’t get around them...

Multiple per bar or one 64 inch one per bar?

Little after work fly fishing

I can’t decide if it looks better than the plastic OEM one or not. Hopefully it’s easier to use for $350!

So far it just appears to be marketing spin without any actual follow up. Here is a catalog of aftermarket accessories that you can overpay your dealer for when they become available in 5-10 years.

I do like the OEM mats for every day use but have found that even if I kick off snow (and mud which I don’t care as much about) I get enough water on them that when I drive hills the water finds its way to the carpet. I will try the suggested camp towel first.
