I did some measuring and some reading, and here's what I've come up with:

The gutters (that run front to back) on our H2s are 64.5" from center to center. The safari racks, and all others that I've been researching come in a maximum width of 54"...not going to work to mount to the gutters.

The other option is to mount to the cross-bars. I'm not a fan of this because that rack would be WWAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY up there, so I may have one custom made.

Here are some links to racks that can be cross-bar mounted. I've talked briefly with these companies, and they can't GUARANTEE that their racks fit, so caveat emptor.

(thule racks actually have a "fit wizard" for your vehicle and show needed hardware and mounting brackets. This one definitely fits the H2)
