There is a real nice one at H2parts.com under the H3 category. It is real nice and real expensive about $900 I believe the picture it is on looks like a H2 though.

Is this what you were talking about? I like it! On the site it does indicate that it will work with a H3.

Yeah that one. Looks good.
It is in the H3 section but I don't know if it works. I would call but I can't afford it right now anyway.

Thanks, I built this thinking it would be to tall but the wife insisted on the height. I have not finished with this (ie. no front supports) as of today still getting things in order after running from Rita. I will get back on it in a day or so. Also I have convinced her (you helped) to take about 2 inches off. So we will see how that looks. Thanks again
Oh I don't have the sunroof, every car I ever owned with a sunroof leaked after a while. But if I did own the sunroof I would have added a bar across at the back off the glass so items would not go over the glass. Thanks again

SocalH3, quick question for you, it there any problem with the sunroof anf the rack? Does it completely open ect.? </div></BLOCKQUOTE>
I would also be curious about any additional wind noise. </div></BLOCKQUOTE>
There is no problem at all with the opening of the sunroof. However I have noticed a substantial increase in wind noise. The builder wants to try lamps and a wind deflector on the front. I'll post pics and comments then.

I installed a wilderness rack. I do like it. It does have some wind noise when you get over 60mph. Is there a fix for the wind noise yet?

Re: Roof Baskets
I want to take a look at Off Road Unlimited's Defender roof rack
It is 4 feet x 5 feet x 34 inches tall and can mount to the stock cross bars.
All welded and powder coated.

Does anybody else have the part numbers for any kind of roof channel brackets? I already have a Wilderness rack and don't need to pop another $800! Shouldn't be too hard to fit up. Don't want to buy Hummer bars just to mount up the roof rack.
I spoke with Ron at Garvin. He said my rack wouldn't work as it was too long at 4.5x6 to work on the H3. I will investigate and report back. BTW, the Garvin part# for the H3 rack is 36010.
TIA!
