Yakima roof rack worth the money?

I have a 98 extra cab and my buddy has a yakima roof rack system and basket that he ran for bout a year or so the he says he will sell it to me cheap, what do u guy think it would be worth, its the no drill in your roof type rack system, thanks

 

are they like these???


i love mine

 

OP, are you buying it to use it, or for looks? I had a Yakima for my bikes on my car; useless [for me] on my truck...so I sold it. They're solid rack systems, and worth the money imho; but, if you're buying it for looks, you may want to consider spending your $ on something else.

P.S.: You can price check the components on the Yakima website.

 

I have a Yakima rack on my '01 ext-cab and I use it to haul two kayaks. I don't have any complaints.

I would find out how much money he has in the rack and basket and offer 50-75% of his cost.

 

I had a set up like that when I had my Rodeo and I loved it. Traded the Rodeo in for my Tacoma and didn't need it anymore, but it was well worth the money when I had it.

 

I am buying it for a litle bit of both, I like he look of them but would proably use the basket to haul some of my ridimg gear when my dirtbike is in the back, and yes it looks like the one in the pics but for extra cab 1st gen

Dunno what the deal with all the posts was, phone froze up

 

I'd like to see an xtracab with something like that on it... Are you sure you'd have enough length to fit a basket? I think it'd be cool just not sure on the space.

 

Yea i know i could fit the basket cause he had a truck just like mine same color and all but a v6 instead of an i4 that he sold and got a new fj and i remember he ran the basket when we went and road dirtbikes all the time so it should fit fine

If you use it, its worth it. I have one on my cap and I thought I would only use it for the kayak/canoe, MTB bike, and a few others. But I've used it for various odds and ends. It comes in handy all the time.

 

There is a 1st Gen. Reg. Cab by my house, and the guy has a Yakima roof rack and basket on his roof. I'm not sure if it's the same basket the OP has, but it looks really good!
