We are introducing air dams for the stock roof rack of the FJ. I am selling our prototype. I am making some minor changes and have no use for this. The first $75 takes it!

Man, I wish I had a roofrack.... and an FJ. Haha. That looks pretty sweet. Are you guys mass producing them now? I had an air dam from Gobi that went with my stealth and I thought it was very difficult to work with. Are you making them to fit other types of racks? I know there is a market there because no matter what I did I could never seem to get the Gobi dam to work right. It seemed better when I took the thing off entirely, but eventually after weeks of tinkering I got it so it was "ok".

I am glad to see you're working on a better one. I especially like how it wraps around on the edge. That to me was the real weakness with the others I toyed with and I think that idea is brilliant. You should seriously look into designing one for the stealth (if you haven't) that also covers the holes where the lights go. I installed lights up there (without wiring them) just to cut back on the noise... but I had this great idea for an air dam that went all the way up and had cutouts for the specific Hella lights I used, but they were recessed cut-ins if that makes sense. Just sharing an idea. Smile I bet half the people driving with a stealth on would buy one if you came up with something better because everybody I talked to felt the same way when I sent out messages to try to get some tips on how to get it to quiet down and do its job.

Thanks for the kind words. We are going to be mass producing them, they should hit the market in a couple of weeks. I'm willing to look at other racks as well if the interest is there, and I can get my hands on one for the design work. afro

If I find a used Stealth I'll probably buy one and modify it a bit. I am not going to spend $1500 on another one of their racks. I wasn't really happy with the last one in some regards, but overall it was good. If I get one I'll let you know for sure and you're welcome to do whatever you want with it. I think it would be a pretty good market to corner, because those dams are some bad designs and it creates massive noise. Actually I think it was just a lazy design.
