Bite your lip, open the wallet and go with a GOBI. Its the best accessory I have ever put on a car. Looks great, is very functional, and is made well. You will want to use it more than just for one trip. I now find myself offering to haul stuff for people just to utilize my rack

Yakima makes a small one.

Thanks , they do look more affordable. But i think i am going to build one. I need to put two kids four wheelers, three mini bikes , and one adult four wheeler someplace . Obiviously not all on the roof , but i need a big rack. I think i'll build one that stretches from the back all the way to the front of the h2 and support it with square tube coming up from the front receiver hitch. I would like to buy one more crossover bar for the top if anyone has one for sale. - Doug

WOW! Sounds like you need a pickup! Go to your dealer and ask if they have an exta crossover bar off a wreck. Sometimes they'll give it to you, and don't forget to ask for the key. Good luck with the rack. Sounds HUGE!

Here is a Link to Surco Roof Basket. They are very easy to put togather and install on your Hummer. They will fit right into on your cross bars on the roof.

Here is a picture of my Hummer with a Surco Basket on it.

Also the Basket are light weight.

Unfortunately, there are tons of "super friendly" folks on this forum. DRTY will call you a fag, PARAGON will call you ****ing stupid, and I'm sure I've left out some others who have great personalities....

You might go to the hardware store and buy what is called "spring steel." I used pieces to fabricate a mounting system for my old Land Crusher....
