I would like to have you guys that have roof racks to post pics, brand, and size of the rack. If you have lights on top list the size. I went through alot of guess work and research before purchasing mine and would like to eliminate that for the next person.

Please guys keep this thread free of comments ie..(Im looking to buy one, looks good etc..) if you have a rack then post the info I have, if not just look. I wanna keep it clean and easy, if you have a question then pm the person

Please make this a sticky:rocking:

Rack = Surco 6ft x 4ft
Lights= Pro Comp Driving Lights 7"
I dont recommed going larger than a 7" light unless you have a monster lift. Another fyi, if you have a 3rd generation you need to have a ft. wide cage.

Here are some pics of mine. It is very similar to the Yakima Mega Warrior.

I also bought the 24 inch extension to make it 67.5" L x 39" W x 6" Tall.

It was cheap and it looks tough. I have only hauled a couple old tires up there. The mounting hardware is easy and quick to attach and it mounts securely to the cross bars. Overall I am very satisfied with the quality for the price I paid. Just make sure that you buy the fairing so you don't go deaf with all the wind noise.

1st Gen Expy - Curt Roof Rack

Mine is the Curt Roof Rack. With the extension this is 62x37. I'd prefer a wider one, but I was in a hurry and settled.

NOTE: I pulled off the front wind foil (I'm sure that's not the correct term for it) and it is more quiet without the foil than with it ?

12 55w lights 7 switches as follows:
4 up front (1 switch for the outside two lights, 1 switch for the inside two)
3 on each side ( 1 switch for the outside lights, 1 for the middle)
2 on the back (1 switch)

(My thinking is that I may replace the "middle" sets of lights with some Pencil Beams of some sorts, so I'd like to be able to run those separately from the wide pattern beams.)

Here's mine... just the Yakima cross-bars & faring right now... debating on a mega warrior from Yak, or just a dedicated basket from another manufacturer.
