It took me about 30 minutes to installed.
The only problem I have is
THE HOOD In me tells me how easy is to steal the whole thing. Just 8 specialty screws and the whole thing is bye bye... I'm gonna have to come up with something. Brain is on overdrive rt now

A decal that says Protected By Smith & Wesson sometimes helps

I would etch something on the inside to prove it's yours just in case. Those are nice boxes and aren't cheap. Looks good. Like the black wheels with the white paint.

Anyone who wants it isn't going to sit there unscrewing bolts. Almost all cross bars are "easy" to get off when there's no regard to vehicle damage..... they're going to rip them off with force or cut them and be gone in under a minute.

Hell a simple pry bar under the side rails will pop the rivnuts out of the roof sheet metal with ease.

For peace of mind against ninja thief's walking around with special tool bits, throw some hot glue in there so the tool won't go in easy... they probably won't have a pick in their kit, and if they do they won't want to spend the extra time cleaning each bolt head out.

I guess you are right but believe me ma man. I personally had witness cars ... Honda Accord, Nissan Maximas. Left on cinder blocks for their rims. Shit! 8 little screws is nothing.
I have to shop around for specialty type of screw. I had use a set of screws many years ago that is a one way in but you need speca screw driver to take off.
I'm just been paranoid
