The expedition looks like it's taller, compare H3Slate's to this one.

The expedition rack it taller, just over 6" in the back, the adventure rack is 3 1/2" tall in the back.
Great looking rack and welcome to the club! :cheers:
It is great to see the different options you have on your rack, I really like the cargo space up front where the sunroof is not. The 5 lights across the front fits really well.
Enjoy!

Looks great! It fits the shape of the H3 perfectly. Great work Scarsman!

Yes, I do. I'm not a big scale production shop, it is just me in my home shop in my spare time from my day job, but it seems I am building them now. :whaa: I have to make another one of these without the boxes and jack mount now to ship to Arkansas. This one will have some mounts for fly rod tubes and a kayak.
They got it correct, the Expedition has 6" sides, and the Adventure has 3.5" sides.
Thanks to everyone for all the great comments!

Is the opening on the front of the rack the same size on the Adventure as the Expedition? I'm curious if the Adventure rack will fit 6x9" lights like H3Slate's Expedition rack.

Well, that's the beauty of a custom made product. I built H3slate's around the 6x9s. PacNWAg98 wanted a lower profile and chose to use 5x7 lights. He had the lights shipped to me and I built it around them.
The rack I am about to start now, he is putting two RI D2s, one on each side, and will add a 20" RI bar in between them later when he has the money. In the mean time I'm going to make a "deflector" to fill the space in between the D2s with either "HUMMER" or my logo cut out in it.
So, the sort answer is, it will fit whatever lights you want to use!

I know on my rack, there is a little wind noise, but not bad at all. In fact after just a couple days with it on I didn't even notice it anymore.
I rode in PacNW's truck after we installed it and I did not notice any wind noise at all. It was very quiet.
You got it! :thumbs:

Mine is very quiet as well. Even loaded up driving up I 5 I didn't notice it.
With the sunroof open you can hear the wind noise. But it is just different wind noise a the rack deflects the wind differently than before I had the rack.

No wind noise at all - and I've taken it on tons of road trips since it was installed. This baby is rock solid.
The only bad thing is my kids always ant to climb up there!

Send me an email with them. You never know when/where I might fit something in.
