Had to laugh. When I saw you drove 80 I glanced at your profile to see where you lived. Boston. That explains it! You're probably the slowest guy on the highway at 80. Once when lived there I was going down the Mass Pike at 80 and the guy next to me drifted over and we bumped mirrors. All in a day's drive in Mass.

The XM seems to work the same as before Gobi, but I have only had it on a week and just driven in town.

That's cool man, glad they were able to hook you up! On a semi-related note, wasn't the surf ski Thomas Magnum's preferred method of exercise in Hawaii? Are you sleuthing about in a T4R instead of a Ferrari? ;)

I definitely would've done no-rise as well. Darn.
Interesting result

I keep hearing that the light bar is a good solution. At least the only one I can apply to my existing rack. I live in WINDY West Texas and the wind noise is... wow! That being said... it is the best damn rack I have ever seen. I'll deal with the noise and save for a light bar.
Any suggestions for a 40 inch bar that doesn't cost more than the rack itself? Have mercy!

I assume that's a joke? Because no you can not.
