I have a $1100 roof rack that replaced my factory rack. It’s awesome. Well worth the money.
View attachment 31772
Aftermarket crossbars attached to the factory rack won't increase load capacity but can give you more real estate for mounting stuff simply because you can install wider bars. The factory bars will handle kayaks or bikes just fine, but there isn't enough width to mount them all at the same time.I was able to reattach the end caps, thought they were broken, but seems ok.
So now I only need to replace the cross bars. Are there any after market that are better then stock that attach to the factory base? Suppose I want to attach a bike rack or carry kayaks. Do these attachments attach do the factory rack, or are they typically mods that are retrofitted?
I've also been thinking about an over landing/camping style rack, but I think this would require replacing the entire unit??
Hello. This is an old thread. You recently sent the link to purchase the same type of roof rack. I can't find it, could you resend it?1100? K9 rack, right? Last time I checked it was like almost double that to cover the EL
