Was wondering what(if any) aftermarket roof racks have been added to the H3? anyone have pics of a yakima or thule set up on their H3? what towers did you use? thanks for any info.
I don't have the factory roof rails and would rather use the aftermarket towers and flat bars from yak or thule if they make towers to fit in the roof channel. anyone know for sure? thanks again.

hey thanks. i've been to that site, but never got past the gobi rack price  . So what's it like gettin things in and out of it? i put a nice crease in the door of a truck i had trying to get a kayak off by myself  . there's just no easy way to load and unload stuff from your roof. got any pics of yours loaded up? also looking for a place to put my high lift jack. this looks like the way to go. thanks man. |

Thanks Ipedog.
sometimes i feel like it was a bit too much..that is until i flip on the lights in the desert 
Note my roof rack does make some racket going down the freeway,after im done mounting my antenna, im going to look into the wind deflector.

Looks to me to be a XM or GPS antenna. Just a guess though.

I really did use the "find" button, but there wasn't any discussion about how aftermarket towers fit to the roof channel. anyone? pics, brands, anyone?

I have a Garvin rack that I love to death. You may want to consider it, or something else like it.

BradO,
sweet ride. I just picked up a Thule rack. they make a kit that fits in the track on the roof. I'm happy with it(except for the wind noise), and i'm looking into different baskets now too. I'd like a long basket(most have extensions), but i've got a sunroof so i'll have to figure that into the total length. thanks all for posting and for the help. i'll get some pics of it up soon.
