Roof Rail Cross Bars

[Mikey*TX]

Will the removable cross bars handle the wind resistance of LED light bars ? Instead of removing the factory roof rails, I'm thinking of mounting my 30" combo light on the rear and buying the 50" from Black Oak.

They are designed to hold 75 lbs and 165 lbs loads, the latter without a moonroof. I guessing that wind resistance shouldn't be an issue. It might affect mpg a bit.

Yes, I have. 6th gen roof rails mount different ly. I finally got to see the exploded view this morning.
