Roof rack options?

My buddy told me he'd give me his roof basket for $75. So I'm assuming all I need is a roof rack? Anyone know some good places to order one? And is that all I'll need?

 

no options, because prinsu is best

 

How much do those run?

Oh jeez... Defintely not trying to spend that much! Haha hardly going to use it. Just like the way they look

 

You need roof rack bars to mount the basket to. Yakima or rhino racks either one would work.

 

Any idea the cheapest place to order?

 

FrontRunner, or don't waste your money.

 

Prinsu. Definitely worth the money

 

How much did that run you?

 

Right aroud $475 before powdercoat

 

You might be able to mount that to the factory roof rack. You may find one used in the 3rd gen marketplace.

 

Do you know if Yakima roof racks are universal? He said I could have the rack too but I wasn't sure if it would fit

 

From my 2nd gen, I would think it would work on a 3rd

I have the Baja rack and I really like the build quality and over all fit and finish.

 

They aren't universal. But I don't see what would change from 2nd to 3rd gen. Have to check their site.

 

I've heard horror stories on lead times though. I've been told "at least 4 weeks" turns into 3 months real quick.

I was all set to order myself but I had questions so I emailed them and never heard back. It's a shame. I like the racks but I won't spend that kind of money if they can't be bothered with a simple email.


To the OP, search craigslist. You'd be suprised the deals you can find. My last Thule aerobar set up ran me only $120 locally near new.

 

Usually you just need to buy the "clips" that are inside the feet that are customized to the contour of your vehicle.

 

Prinsu. Designed and built in America. Quality costs money.

 

Im definitely going with Prinsu once I have some funds ;-)
