Yeah, I keep 'em up on the highways.
(A little snafu in barcaldine when the belt on the servos compressor went and I let half the air out before I noticed. Had to gumby down the road to another joint)

Take the rack off and I'm sure you'll see a noticeable improvement, especially on your usage at 110. FWIW, 35's, winch, barwork, fully loaded inside with tools/passengers/camping stuff,, I get around 15-16L/100kms on reasonably flat hwy's (think pakky to sale type trip). That's a mix of 100-110kph. I'm happy with that.
As above the roof rack can add 1-2L / 100 at highway speeds. Knocked of 1.5L/100 when I took mine off and can comfortably cruze at 110 now. That extra drag is huge

The rack does look a bit like a wind anchor. I have debated taking it off. I don't really use it, but it seems a shame to lose the option?
In other news- I can't get the pre-air-filter duct for love nor money (well, I can get it for money, but I won't pay it for a bit of hose) so other options - Does anyone have a DIY solution for replacing the ducting for the Pre Filter, or suggestions for aftermarket prefilters altogether?

Where the arrows are there should be some duct to collect air from the wheel arch and go to the air filter.
New spares are stupid $$$. I might swing by a wrecker, but are there other options other than just trying to replace it with the original stuff?

The td gq draw air from the hole in front of wheel arch. We also run a vertical pre filter..
Our output hose is 3" so you make able to get some silicone bits and a reducer to take it down to what you want.
