No pics with it up yet, I'm waiting on the quick disconnects for the frontend to come in (backorder ~2 weeks).
pcarpenter is dead-on, no drilling at all. It's frame bolted in the rear with some support brackets and another bracket that surrounds the rear pinch seam, they did an excellent job designing this rack. Really nice if you ever need to take it off and don't want holes in the side of your rig.
I have noticed more windnoise at ~40+ mph with the doors on and windows up...definitly coming from the rack. Gobi is supposedly releasing a front baffle sometime next month for it. Hopefully that will improve the windnoise problem, but I usually drive with the windows down, or preferably with doors off, so the wind noise coming from the rack isn't that noticable.
mistersir, I ordered mine from David at Alpha Expedition. Like it was stated before...great customer serivce and you can't beat the deal he has going on right now with the free ladder, quick disconnects and free shipping!
