And you driving at a trail cruising speed or Baja 1000 speed? I would think at trail speed you would not have any vibration issues.

Baja speed, you might better get some Baja Designs ones. https://www.bajadesigns.com/products/?vid=161181

My guess is interstate/state highway/county roads regardless of time-of-day or traffic conditions. That's what people around here use them for and law enforcement won't do a thing about it.
