Feel free to post pics of the female variety but what I'm really talking about is roof racks.
Show me your roof rack system and tell me a little bit about it. I recently purchased my system from various sources (including a member of this forum) and I am quite happy with it. It adds even more storage to an already cavernous storage area and I even think it adds some styling as well.

I was a bit concerned about going with the Rola basket (because I was unable to see the build quality in person) but I was really glad that I did. It is built really solid and holds 150 lbs of cargo. It has a matte black stippled texture and I think it will hold up well to the elements and the hazards on the road. It has so far and I've had it on my car since Sept.

I purchased a used Thule fit kit # 1465 off of a member of this forum ($50), the 50" Thule square cross bars -used- #LB50 off of someone on craigslist ($50), the Thule Traverse 480 mounting bracket -new- on ebay ($150), the Rola Vortex Roof basket off of Walmart -new- ($150) and the Thule cargo net -new- #692 off of Ebay ($15)
I am really happy with everything.

All together it cost me $415.

Compare that to what a similar set up would cost you from Thule brand new:

Thule SquareBar 50"
Sku number : LB50 $99.95

Thule Traverse 480
Sku number : 480 $199.95

KIT1465 For 480 and 480R Foot Packs only
Sku number : KIT1465 $94.95

Thule Canyon 859
Sku number : 859 $299.95

Thule Stretch Cargo Net 692
Sku number : 692 $39.95

Subtotal $734.75

 

Or Not.......

 

Rola Roof rack. Bought used on ebay, but it was in open-box, new condition. I love it! I'm pretty sure there's already an official roof rack thread that's why you can hear the crickets in here. Anyways, I thought i'd support your attempt

 

Thanks buddy!
