What’s the lead time on the complete 7/8 roof rack? This seems like such a better deal for $629 as it comes with eight crossbars.

My full rack arrived probably somewhere between 5 and 6 weeks.

Was it the new slotted version or the older variant w/ mounting holes?

The redesigned slotted version. So far I've reached up to 50mph with no noticable wind noise if you're curious.

Three to seven weeks is pretty accurate right now. The big variable has been powder coating turn around, they're taking anywhere from one to five weeks. We're actively working on securing a new powder coating vendor at the moment to improve turn around.

We did get a ton back from powder coating this morning, all orders through roughly the end of December should be shipping out this week.

Busy day at the laser as well, ran about 250 more crossbars today.

Finally, I get to post in here with something substantial!

UPS dropped 3 large boxes off last night and this morning I installed my LFD Full Length rack. I guess I'll throw up a quick "review" of it.

Timeline: From the first email asking questions, to ordering, shipping, etc was about 6 weeks

Shipping: Three boxes, one super long box (side rails) and two moderately large boxes (hardware, crossbars, front fairing). It was humorous watching the UPS guy deliver it all via my Ring doorbell camera.

Quality: Everything fit together very well. No unusual edges or anything like that. The powder coat had a few issues, which I relayed to LFD already; but honestly, nothing more than what it's going to get from the wonderful low hanging branches on every trail around here. A little touch up paint will solve all of this.

Install: I did the install solo in a garage with the assistance of a step ladder (and my sliders) in a few hours. Including a few stops, lunch, handling some emails, etc I think laying out the parts to taking the final picture was about 4 hours. With another pair of hands and another ladder (one person working each side), I'm fairly certain this could be done in under an hour. The instructions are fairly straight forward (although my box had what appeared to be 7/8 rack instructions), and the fact that they include plenty of extra hardware is a HUGE bonus. Doing it solo I bolted one of the side rails in place, then the next and then started with front fairing/cross-bar, then the rear most cross-bar (which had to sit in front of the shark fin), and then worked loosely installing cross bars from back to front; then tightened the cross bars and rack to truck. OH! The front feet were loosely installed with the side rails, and their final tightening was the last step I did.

Final Thoughts: This thing is solid. Really. No wiggle. No jiggle. I really do like the look. Black hardware would have been preferred, but I read LFD's response either in this thread (or the 7/8 rack thread) about why this hardware comes with it. Maybe I'll just get busy with touchup paint when it warms up. I have driven about 35 miles with it (30 of which were highway). To say that today is a bad day to judge wind noise would be an understatement, currently we are having ~20mph sustained winds with 40mph gusts, so anything over ~50mph you hear the wind bustling around on the roof... The few times I feel like the wind died down on my drive, the added wind noise from the rack is noticeable, but not intrusive. As ridiculous as it sounds, it almost feels more stable in heavy cross winds. Maybe if the fairing came down closer to the body it would be quieter? I'll make another post in this thread after a few more days of driving to see if less-windy days change the wind noise. All in all, I'm quite pleased with the purchase; from looks, to assembly, to price point, the LFD Full length checked all of my boxes.

Nice write up. I've had mine just under a month and love the look and build quality. Now time to get it loaded up.

I have just the crossbars and mounted my jack using the lfd mount and a fuel can so far. I have maxx trax and another fuel can on the way. Everything is very sturdy and super functional just standing on my sliders.

And confirm, the 7/8 is a complete “no drill” rack installation? Once again, like the no KDSS on their skid plate missing on the LFD site, they don’t mention drill/no drill under the rack description. Having a no drill rack option is a huge selling point for people....not sure why you would leave this out.
