Shout out to OK4WD for getting mine shipped quickly. I need to do a little adjustment on it tomorrow and get the lights wired

Looks great! After you do your adjustments can you post up some pics a lil farther out?

Got mine installed at AVO today - glad the wait is over! Got a pic before sunset.
Looks phenomenal! Out of curiosity, how many shims did they use in the rear most mounting brackets?

Wanted to add, installation was a breeze. Got a couple friends to come over and just dropped it on. Used a little RTV at the front corners and that's about it.

Got mine on for a couple of weeks. Is it just me or the lock is kind of a pain to fit the key in sometimes. That's probably my main gripe. It hasn't gotten any easier either.

Agreed. I’m going to try WD40 in each one to see if that helps.

I think the cap helped with the aerodynamics pulling the trailer. I had a few people comment that the canopy "looks like it belongs on the jeep"

Yes, the key tumblers are not the best. I'd love to find a "barrel" lock style round key (like a bike lock).

In terms of aerodynamics, I agree. I got back 1mpg with the Contour vs my open-air Rebel Rack. I was pleasantly surprised.

Same here. I went from 15-16 on the highway to 17-18.

WD40 seemed to help. Much smoother now.
