2 gutters and 2 roof racks? How? Did noone learn there lesson the first time?

What is the smart design?

I have seen many racks, but none as thick as the TC one.

I'd like to see a pic of the busted rack though. What brand was it?

Det,

Sometimes you just have to get through the ugly and expect the damage. Going up this obstacle I bent my gutter, going opposite direction I missed by about 4". We have rock rails to protect us from these things. A 2K roof rack should do this at a minimum IMO. I just paid $1500 for steel rock rails with rock guards for that very reason. You simply can't control the trail, sometimes it's just necessary to take a certain line or drag over a certain spot. 3 other H1's and 1 H2 made it through this obstacle with no damage.

I don't know the brand of the rack but can tell you it makes no difference. None of them would hold up here and they SHOULD.
