The lighting inside the lumber yard really makes the color pop.

Waited a bit to post a reply to this as I wanted to do some highway in the yellow G to see if any difference in noise.
On the red G there was no noticeable noise.
When I moved it over to the yellow one I also installed the front light bar accessory. Once I hit 60-65kph there was a definite loud droning sound that was very aggravating.
The light bar is basically just an open ended 1/2” tube with some mounting brackets welded on and has open tube ends. I thought it was just the tube ends whistling so I taped them up - no difference.
Removed it and the noise is gone!
So it is the tube shape that is causing the issue - either need to figure out how to change the profile or it’s up for sale (the front light bar not the rack :) )

As for accessories, LeTech makes these brackets so you can mount/tie down whatever you like.

Yakima used to sell a noise killing accessory that was simply a piece of flexible plastic wrapped around the bar and then fastened together pointing back. It creates a more aerodynamic teardrop profile.

Sorry I bumped the wrong thread.
This one is so close that if you don’t read it twice you miss that it is
What did your G do for you today
Vs
What did you do for your G today

A title rename would be good :)
