Mine is VERY functional! I'm so happy I got one. I notice a huge difference just driving around in the daytime, and an even bigger difference when my light bar is on at night. I guess it's probably a bigger issue with white Xterras because the light reflects so badly off of a glossy white surface.   :-\

It does actually cut down on the sun glare quite a bit, though probably not as much as on your white truck.  I noticed this because I drive straight east into the sun in the morning and then drive straight west into the sun coming home from work in the evening.  I haven't used it with the roof lights yet.

The black out does look good against the blue.

I like it already, but I'm sure I'll enjoy it even more when I actually start heading out on long trips with you all and utilizing it for storage.

You'll love the dephep roof rack: low profile, very sturdy, and lots of mounting options/room for other accessories.

WOW!!!!  That's a sharp looking rig! Super clean look.  Really like the look of that bumper.  And I love our Hefty Skid Plates - cheap insurance and great protection.   ::) ::)

Thanks. I wasn't sure how such a minimalist bumper would look, but it turned out well.

Did you go with the steel skids or aluminum?
