In an attempt to get rid of that muscle lady picture on the Recent Photos section of the home page (yech!), here are some snaps of my 38” Thule Fairing (the 32” just wasn’t doing it for me), mounted with four Yakima Mighty Mounts (horizontals) #3601, by altering the supplied fairing mounts. I also covered the fairing’s shiny center section with matte automotive vinyl to subdue the advertising.
Thanks to Ken Anderson (Kenny), Bart (nfpgasmask) (great write-up ,BTW), and etlsport for the mod suggestions and recommendations.
I’m hoping to be able to retain the fairing set-up when I acquire the Thule expedition 696. I hope to mount the rack with another set of four Mighty Mount horizontals, belaying the t-bolt in the rubber-filled top gap of the cross bars.
Kenny, or anyone, do you have inside deck measurements of the 696?
I have a couple of Army medical chests (20” x 32” each, 40” x 32” next to each other) that I want to make sure will fit on the deck of the 696. Thanks.
