I can't figure out how to take the crosspieces off my '88 without trashing the rack completely (Well not trashing it, but making it a major event to put back on again) I use it a couple or three times a year and don't want it disabled, and half the times I use it are somewhat unplanned...

Anyway, I have had mine set as far forward as they go for the last couple of months... I was visualizing them helping to straighten the airflow and "nail" it back down to the roof again after it came off the screen, while also making a high point for the air going over them, such that the roof acted as a more rounded shape and air was coming over the tailgate at a slight angle.

I'm planning to make stick on fairings out of quartered pool noodles to blend my rails. Held on with industrial style velcro.

Without fuel, they were nothing..thundering machines sputtered & stopped..Only those mobile enough to scavenge, brutal enough to pillage would survive. The gangs took over the highways, ready to wage war for a tank of juice
