yes
it is only on temporary,
i was given a roof rack from a friend (it was free i wasnt going to complain), that was from a high top long wheel base Ford transit Van so it was a bit big, i will some time chop it down so it is closer to the roof line, as it whistles when i get up to 60 / 70 MPH and it vibrates severly when i get up to 85/90/100 MPH

Re: Hi Everyone
No ben
zero bumpstops (I don't really worry about the boddy, I do stop the left front just before it hits the sump)
then the front is "strapped" for less droop as I am not running a locker in the front
in the rear I use all off a 17" shock
front ass well but the droop is strapped at aprox 70%
