To roof rack or not to roof rack

[RamRod]

With. If you didn't have the BG and other accessories that without would give it a cleaner look but in this case definitely with. Also what's up with your rear rim?

Plus, you have the extra cargo space if you ever need it and IMO, it's better to have a purpose built-rig than a rig with no purpose! [emoji12]

I was wondering if anyone was going to notice and ask haha

Well long story short, my rear pads were rubbing metal on metal while I was waiting for Rock Auto to ship the CORRECT parts to me.... First set of rotors and pads they sent were for a Wrangler.

And the rust is just fine shavings that landed in the rim and then rusted in the rain. Brakes are fixed now and Hutchinsons are going on soon so I haven't bothered to clean up the rust


Looks like everyone votes for with! I guess a will continue with my original plans to clean up the fit and finish

Thanks for the input guys!

without, but with the light bar mounted with those mounts that put it up high on the windshield.

Just fyi, I would wash that rusty brake dust off soon. That stuff has a way of etching into just about any finish if left there very long at all.

And I vote with as well.

I thought he was going for a wagon wheel look.

with... looks like a naked whale without it.

Definitely with! Looks much more rugged!

Ha! Can't have a naked Orca!

I think I am going to raise it off the roof by another 3/8" so I can squeeze my 40" LED bar between the roof and the bottom of the roof rack... that'll look a bit more streamline I think

If I went without that's what I was thinking, but now that it's been off for a day, I am going to make some minor adjustments and put it back on

Then you gotta do led bars all the way around!

 

[RamRod]

Well that's a slipper slope my friend!
I already have the rocker switch for adding rear lights, just don't see myself adding them to the sides at all

 

[Pappibri]

I agree with the masses. On. Comes in hand and looks better than without.

 

[Renagade132]

I'm definitely going with LEDs all around on the roof rack
