If I was me I would reduce the height of the top bars on the roof fack. the rear one I woudl keep about 1" about the tent to protect it from limbs. the front one I would cut down to the height of the tire and make an aerodynamic wind break to help get wind over the vehicle.

Hey,
Just curious as to what part of Germany you are in? I am heading to Graff/Vilsect early next year and am trying to learn more of what to do and where to go in Germany...I'm a little excited.

Hi,
I`m located near Ulm, that`s around 200miles from Vilseck. Near me is the famous "Blautopf":

Keine ahnung, der Dachträger ist zumindest Ladung...

I'd definately say to lower that roof rack a bit. It's pretty tall.

I like it. You may find S-10CREWCAB.NET forum and our website has valuable information on the s-series platform. While focused on the crew cab trucks, much of it does cross over to the entire s-series line.
