Roof Rack recommendations?

I had my TH for several months before I got Roof Rack put on.. Mileage was essentially the same. Go figure.

honestly it blew my mind. i instantly saw an increase in gas mileage and an extra 100kms of range the day after i removed the rack. city mileage was not really affected much. maybe 10% at best. but the numbers i got in my post are real numbers. no change in cargo (if anything lightened my load since the wife was not with me)
at 100kmh, i was getting 16-17L / 100km on highway. consistently, in eco mode.
with no rack travelling 110 (speed limit) i was getting anywhere frm 10-11.5L/100km

same route. same destination. same cargo (minus the wife and shes only 130lbs)

I go and look at wind speed plus wind direction if what changes is not obvious to me.

Backwoods Adventure Mods DRIFTR roof rack up top with the deck panels added. Strong rack with 1/4 inch sides and it uses a 1x3 extrusion for added strength.

Did Toyota mount it backwards?

I love my Martin OR (NC USA) roof rack, pairs exceptionally well with my GFC. Had those guys cut a larger fairing and saw a 3+ MPG bump vs just the GFC on it. Makes a huge difference pushes a lot of air over the RTT and holds my RinseKit out of the wind. Couldn’t ask for a better setup. Currently at 21 MPGs on TH, eying ~24 before switching treads in ~10-12 months.

I had Martin OffRoad cut 1 aluminum load panel for the RinseKit and I did the other 2 in ACM panel for weight/UV/severe weather as the forward load bars will only see firewood netted down and the cargo cam will get mounted $ tucked just behind the spoiler. Looking forward to that as I travel with paddle & surfboards in the summer / always wishing I could see how the gear on the roof is doing

Beautiful set up. How’s the GFC treating you?
