Heads up, Head Wind!

[GulfCoastBronco]

I know there’s a few posts about the 40 inch light bar. I’ve had mine for a few months now and just want to express, in case anyone is considering and unaware…there is a significant increase of wind noise.

it is easy to get used to, however for me I live in a place where we have often time 30 mph wind gusts and when driving 75 mph on the highway it can sound quite thunderous.

I know wind noise is a deal breaker for some, so just want to make sure anyone considering is aware if that is not something you want to deal with.

how much would the noise be reduced if the bar was made "v" shaped and you could turn it when traveling on highway?

How much did the cross bars alone sing on the highway?

I don’t feel like the crossbars caused any wind noise. I did get them about a week after I got the Bronco so I don’t have a big sample size. Minimal if any.

Exact decibel difference please… otherwise it doesn’t count hahaha. Just kidding.

I have the Yakima lock n load with perimeters already. I wonder if it would get louder than that if I added. Or if it is already there.

we get 30plus winds here too. Or more.

My headlights are the best I’ve ever had,
Wont be hanging any do dads on the outside of my little mule.
With the Phantom F-4 The Air Force proved that with enough horsepower a brick really could fly.
And Ford proved that with the right turbo a brick could boogie
Down the boulevard.
:,P
Don’t get me wrong, I Love the look, feel, handling and the quiet cabin of my Bronco Sport.
But I am amazed that this shape is not a roaring truck on the super slab.
