What has it been like in regard to actual usage? Have you mounted a kayak? Carried wood sheets? Bikes up top? Anything like that, or just recently mounted the bars and haven’t had a chance to?
I’m very curious as this was a question I had asked about a few years ago, but nothing like this existed then.
Curious if your experience with loading and tie downs as well on this specific rack setup.

I mounted it on Christmas Day so I haven’t had the chance to use it for anything yet. Other than the looks the only thing I can say about it is it took all of 20 minutes to mount them. I’ll post when I can get some actual usage out of it.

I may be an idiot here, but does the radiator plastic splash guard fit under the LFD front skid right here? Edit* Also, are there any torque specs for the transmission/transfer case skid bolts? Seems as if I can just keep tightening them and I do not want to break the bolt.

I don't know that there are torque specs, but I just used anti-seize and gave them 1-2 ugga-duggas
(i have the RCI metal splash guard, which fits, but it looks like the plastic one fits so not sure i understand the question

I don't know the answer on the plastic splash guard either. I had to ditch mine long before I got skid plates or a new bumper.

Finally got my crossbars! I just mounted them, plus I installed the recovery boards
Next, I would like to mount an awning, does anyone have any suggestions/examples on how to mount one? Thanks!

LFD sells awning mount points for their cross bars. When did you order? I’m anxious to get mine.

I ordered during BF 2020 and received about a week ago.
Just saw the awning mounts, they look like just simple L brackets.

I ordered my crossbars last week and got an update email this Monday; they ship in 4 weeks according to the email. So 5 weeks out total!

I tucked the splash guard under the lip of the skid and it fits perfectly. Looks way better too! Too bad I cant get my picture to be right side up.

Fixed it for you. The skid looks much better.

@ jafrush
what are the dimensions on your awning mounts , I want to check if they will work with CVT awnings because I don't like the fit and finish of their brackets

I still never got the rear bumper on, but do you make angled sliders with the rear kickout with no plating?
