Anybody out there have any experience good or bad with this item? Highway noise? mounting issues?
As long as you use a good bare metal primer and put a good blob of industrial sealant (GOOP or similar) in the holes that you drill out you should be good in all honesty. The ones I got had three screws on each bracket and they were pretty small, plus the bracket had some material that the screws went through to help prevent moisture from getting through. Offroad Elements is also a North East company, and those guys have them on their Jeeps so I'd feel pretty confident they don't want rust either.I like your idea of attaching to your overhead rack, I did not think about drilling holes into the A-pillars for the mounting brackets. I am glad that I asked the question since I live in Mi, I believe I just changed my mind with your reply. My luck plus the rust factor could equal a bad ending over time for my A-pillars. I know there are good anti-rust products out there but............... Thanks for your reply El Sanchimoto.
