I decided to detail the outiside of the truck today, and while I was doing this, I decided to remove the cross bars to see what the truck would look like without them on, as well as road test the truck to see if it were quieter. The truck looks shorter without them, and there DOES seem to be less wind resistance noise, both with the sunroof closed, or tipped open...

Anyone else do this? I will wait and see if I want to put them pack on or not...I might remove the racks totally...

It's a matter of perspective. I like the extra 1-2 mpg that I get without the roof rack. You like looking at clutter on your roof and listening to wind noise? Keep them on. eace:

I may take mine off when I go down to Ft Myers at the end of May just for the increase in mpg. But they won't be off for long lol

 

[CrashNburn]

i just like the look of them off, gives it a smother line.

I have mine off right now and I just crack my sunroof open whenever I drive it, looks better to me.

 

[Spark757]

I had no idea removing them increases MPG lol I'll keep that in mind when I make frequent trips to college 6 hours away and back home

So why did you tell me to take mine off, Scottie? :shades: :taz: :shrug:

 

[jpark]

Scottie wasn't talking about the crossbars.

:lol:

 

[Dasha]

Hmmm...now that I think about it, he was drooling when he said that.
