My 50 is great.... I put electrical tape between the fins and I have no whistle.

Looks great, thanks for the pic. Did it whistle before the electrical tape?

Yes it did at about 45 to 60 mph. I took the two tops off (front and passenger) and test drove a little ways pulled over put a little tape in the fins and test drove again until I could get it to not whistle on the Hwy. Its been great for over a week. That process took about 30 minutes and its well worth it. Light output is insane!!!!!! My fogs and hood go in this week and I will try and get some night pics up. Also just installed Spod gen2 and got my switches in.

Sounds good. Got some of those switches myself. They look sweet. But, I don't think I'm gonna be able to use them in my setup. I also have the sPod Gen 2 but got the version with the 2" gauge opening in the middle. With those shitch covers the Aeroforce Interceptor Gauge hits the switches.

I have never seen these before. Interesting idea with the boatside panels. Have you seen these in person?

Looking at the way they mount up to the frame actually looks like a decent idea. I would like to see a better picture of the underside. The photos on the site are not very good.

EDIT: Found the posting you commented in on JK-Forum. Those are much better pictures. I am wondering the same question as a couple people posted wondering the strength of them to prevent coming in contact with the body. Let me know your thoughts. Saw a pair of Sahara steps that were smashed the other day and had done some damage to the tub and made me want to move up sliders on my list!

I haven't seen them in person but I like the concept and think they look sweet. I like the fact that they have the full length integrated step, are flush with the fenders, sit up high with little gap under the flares, and the boatside panel makes them look really clean IMO. I can sell my Rubi Rock Rails for $100 to my neighbor and probably more for my Sahara Side Steps. Jason @ Rebel Off Road Said he could get them for me too.

On the 50" bar there is one wire coming out of each side. (at least this is the way mine was setup and the others I have seen to date. (not sure if they changed them).

I did try mine both ways to see if there was a difference. I tired a couple different methods to get rid of the noise, however there was nothing more perminent that would stay without issue taht would work. tape works, but will come off eventually. that did work for mine. I also had this same 50" bar on my H2 and no issues. so it is for sure teh curl of wind off the JK's windshield. mount it up higher and you don;t get it. I mounted mine (temp. mount) on a GOBI lightbar and it did not make the noise..but was a tad too long. so it's height related.

You'll have to see if yours even make the noise or if you can come up with an easy mod that works for you to defeat it.

mine started at about 35mph and up to almost 70. If the wind was blowing sometimes it would stop. I tired a few things, but the tape I just saw coming off at some point. easy enough to re-apply it though.

Yes, the light output is rediculous!! loved it. the 40" bar isn;t too far off either.

I really like those switches. looking forward to installed pics on those.
