After a year of searching after fellow forum members shared pix of a SMB in TX, I gave up the search and We built an aluminum front 1/2 rack for Karakoram,. Took it for a spin through the southwest this week, used it for some water storage and even a platform for a chair. Really is nice to have some more storage upfront. No wind noise. Used front runner gutter mount brackets and it’s super sturdy.

Love your van! The front rack with the slant pop top completes the Ford meets Westfalia versatility. Love it.
I'm stunned that you don't have wind noise though. Everything I've put towards the front of an E-series roof was WAY noisy. If it works for you though, congrats!

Ditto! I get noise but I changed to LED bar and not as bad any more!
