I installed mine yesterday but have not driven yet to see if it makes alot of noise. If it is loud I will take it off. This may sound stupid but do you guys think it will cause a reduction in gas mileage due to wind restriction?

I hit the freeway today and did not notice much noise, so I guess I will keep it on.

Finally a complete install
Finally got everything installed and a car wash. Overall Northridge was pretty good to do business with, it is hard to get in touch with Evan though. When the Faring and other pieces were missing from the original order, I attempted to get in touch with him several times and finally gave up and went straight to Yakima directly to correct the problem. It took Yakima 2 tries to get it right but I guess it was worth it to save $100.
Here are some finished product pics with the Light Mounting Brackets and Locks installed.
Here is the finished product...

Looks great! Just like mine except my 2004 4Runner is silver.

Hey, I just ordered the Yakima Loadwarrior from Northridge Toyota and I'm also missing the faring, nuts, and snap arounds. I'm going to call Northridge Toyota and see what the deal is. My heart was set on doing the installation tonight, but I can do it until I get the parts. It would of been nice if it came with everything because I'm going down to San Felipe to watch the McMillin 500. I guess I'll call Evan tomorrow and see what's up.

This sounds familiar...
Evan won't be able to do anything for you. You need to call Yakima directly and they will ship you the missing parts. It took Yakima 2 tries to get it right for me.
HERE is a link to Yakima's contact info.
I went ahead and installed it without the faring and there is a HUGE difference in wind noise with the faring on. There has been no noticable difference in gas mileage since I put it on too.
Good Luck

Any chance I can see a pic of the whole megawarrior and truck from the side and back?
I would like to compare how it fills out the roof compared to the load warrior. Thanks.
