"Cheaped out" on Roof Rack.

[yat74]

Me too, great rack.

[06-H3]

Can someone post a pic of it on their vehicle? I'm interested in seeing how it looks as I'm also in the market for a roof rack and can't swing the $1,000 + price tag on a gobi, as much as I'd like to.

How difficult was it to install on the 3? Do you remove the factory cross bars or does it somehow mount to those?

06H3,

I will post pics as soon as mounted. The information on the product states that it bolts directly to the factory cross bars. With the extension it is a pretty big rack. There is a thread in the "H3 photos" section titled "post your stock rims with 35s" or something similar. If you go to page #2 of that thread you can see a photo of a green H3 that has the Rola roof rack.

Just checked out that thread again and I see the green H3 belongs to you Mr Pat. I must confess that I got the idea for the Rola from your picture, Thanx. I will use the saved $$ on some other goodies like maybe a K+N air filter system and some other stuff I been looking at.

Maybe rethink that K&N. http://www.duramax-diesel.com/spicer/index.htm There's better alternatives out there with synthetic dry, more efficient media.

The ultimate cheap out is simply to add 4 rings to the existing roof rails on your factory rig.

thats what I did, being an E5 in the Air Force sucks when its time to up grade stuff and needing money.

Hold on until the feds cut that stimulus package to get your GOBI rack... of course you'll be spending you own money b/c it's actually coming out of your 2008 return.

I just purchased a Roof Rack For my H3 TAC ED from Wilderness Racks.I purchased it from Rack Outfitters www.rackoutfitters.com/, the rack I got is a 48Wx60Lx6H. This rack cost $560.00 w/free shipping. It looks really good on the H3.
