Default Re: Roof Rack / Basket Mounts

I carry big sea kayaks on top of my H3. The OEM bars were not wide enough to fit two yaks side by side and clamping a wider bar on top of the OEM bar, put everything too high. I went with a Yakima system as I prefer the round bars that they use, over the square ones from Thule.

I got a Landing Pad #2, a Control Tower, and 66" wide bars. You may want to go with the 58" bars for a basket, but you can buy longer and cut them off to any desired length. I had to go back and get the 44" fairing as I was geting quite a bit of wind noise. The 44" fairing fits almost perfectly in the slight indent on the roof.

I'll try and get a picture of the components later.
