These are great!
What's the height you used for each riser? Same for all 4 corners?
I've been thinking of doing something similar, but with wood and just leaving the frame in place.
I'm running these this season. They've been great in the snow.
Yes, you've got to navigate the 115 (totally fine) vs. 116 (in the system) load rating.
Note - a bit cheaper at Costco
I'm still tackling it, but I think I figured it out.
You've got to put something in the crossbar channel to completely fill it. Any indentation will cause a whistle. Using a strip with vortex bumps to help disrupt the air should help too.
I just ordered these -...
Sequoia was a cakewalk compared to Death Valley.
We charged up to 100% at the Tulare EA. We stayed nearby (Marriot points... I think it was a Fairfield Inn or something), so I was able to walk from the chargers to the hotel and back.
We stayed at the Wuksachi Lodge in the park. No charging in...
We just did what sounds like a very similar trip over Thanksgiving!
Our route: North Lake Tahoe (start) --> Bishop, CA (1 night) --> Death Valley (1 night) --> Joshua Tree (1 night) --> Tulare, CA - just outside of Sequoia --> Sequoia/Kings Canyon (1 night) --> back to Tahoe.
Everything was...
I'm having the same issue!
I can confirm it is NOT the crossbars alone. I've had the crossbars in place for quite a while with zero noticeable noise.
With the ski rack installed it sounds like a kettle is boiling on my roof. I've tried the ski rack in both the forward and rear positions. It's...
Yes - I ran into the same issue on getting mine installed at Costco.
I tried to explain the 115 vs 116 issue, that the weight rating was fine, etc. but rules were rules in their book (understandable, no reason for them to grant an exception for me).
Luckily⦠I had purchased a second set of...

At least one color typically goes on sale every month of so for $60 at Adorama.
Another +1 for Mark and JackPucks!

I got to see both the red and yellow in person and can attest both are top notch quality. The yellow is nearly (98%) spot-on with the Rivian yellow.
The case has a lot of padding! You could check these as their own bag at an airport and see them...
@Mark_AZR1T
Awesome to see the sale!
Quick question on red vs. yellow - is the red color anodized and the yellow color an applied top coating (the custom industrial coating you mention)?
Thank you! Well thought out product!
Yea it looks amazing on yours. Super solid build.
I love everything about it⦠except the price! Hoping to come up with a more affordable solution in the Yakima.
Ha! Would love to see more pics when you get a chance. Iām thinking of going the same route.
Howās wind noise and range impact? (Iād have to leave mine on full time)
Looks great! This is the same setup the Rivian team used to complete the Rubicon trail. They also only used 2 crossbars with the Yakima platform.

Hey Dark-Fx! A bit off topic here - but any chance I could convince you to post some more pics (side profile and such) of your R1S with 3 crossbars? Iāve been thinking of doing the same and am curious to see the look! Youāre the only one Iāve seen.
