Whoofing Noise Above 60 mph

I had a noise at a similar speed. Because of the resonance through the body, it was hard to pinpoint, but it seemed to be higher than any part of the drivetrain.
I removed the crossbars from the roof rails - problem solved. I hope you can de-whoof yours as easily.
Cheers!

I noticed this at speeds over ~65mph. I assumed it was the crossbars. Kinda disappointing, I feel like in the year 2024 we have the technology to make these things mostly silent.
I haven't experimented with it yet, but there's typically an optimal spacing/distance between the crossbars that minimizes wind noise. Need to start by checking if I was given an installation manual for them, and if it specifies the ideal separation.

That was it! Thank you so much!
Curious if you have found a cargo cover for your Land Cruiser?
Glad to be able to help, Trish! I have not looked at cargo covers; my first priority is finding a set of 18 inch rims for my LC Premie at a reasonable cost.
Cheers!
Have you left your dog in the back?
Tires will be the same or slightly larger in diameter, while the replacement wheel will be smaller diameter. This results in more tire sidewall to absorb any 'surprises' on the forest roads. They are also lighter and cheaper.
