Looking good

On a side note, went to brunch this morning at my favorite hole-in-the-wall, small town, diner. You have to appreciate a place that offers Season Salt as a condiment. Had biscuits and gravy with hash browns and over-easy eggs layered on top.

Your LR4 looks great with the rack fitted. How is the wind noise from inside the cabin after the install?

@CPalacay Thanks! No noticeable wind noise. In town driving there is absolutely nothing. On the freeway, I would say the sound of the engine and the tires on the road is louder. In fact, I used to get a weird buffeting noise from the top passenger's side of the windshield at freeway speeds before the install. Now that's gone, so it's quieter.

Couple of observations. The lower gears (1st and 2nd) seem happier with the added weight. Gives them something to push against. At higher speeds, I do notice a bit of wind drag compared to before. It's not the kind of thing you would even be aware of unless you were hyper-focused on it.

Having some fun with the girls at the park.

Okay, so here are some pics that are the culmination of all that hard work. Looks sharp.

Thanks for the pics. Looks fantastic.
