Re: Surco Urban Rack
I guess it depends on whether you have a sun roof or not. I like it, but would like to know if it would attach to the factoy cross bars. E-mailed the company, but have noot heard back from them.

Saw one of these on eBay - http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Surco-S4050-Roof-Rack-Aluminum-Black-Anodized-Summit_W0QQitemZ320152520750QQihZ011QQcategoryZ336 51QQrdZ1QQssPageNameZWD1VQQcmdZViewItem
The price is great, but I agree it does look a bit cheap for the Hummer man. For one thing, it is not one piece, but several bolted together. I am a little leary about the racks that mount to the crossbars. This past weekend, Hunner had his rack (not a Surco) move forward due to the channels not holding up. I believe a second spare was mounted on top, so the weight might've been too much for the crossbar channels.
I am thinking more along the lines of the Defender rack sold by Off Road Unlimited. It looks and feels pretty stout, one definitely made for the Hummer man!!

Re: Surco Urban Rack
The Surco racks do have a good price - but basically no warranty. They look and feel relatively sturdy, but I'm thinking there's a reason why they may be less expensive than everyone else (quality shortcuts, etc.).

Re: Surco Urban Rack
I saw the defender on a buddys rig and those things are solid even for being mounted to factory roof rails.. Twice the price, but even with 4 large hellas mounted on there, its rock solid. You get what you pay for.

Re: Surco Urban Rack
Ended up getting the rack. It was a bit to assemble, but it is rock solid. Each of the floor slats along with the rack itsef bolts into the the existing crossbars. Loaded it up twice and it proved to be very sturdy. Plus, I still clear the garage. Overall, I was quite impressed. I plan to add two lights to the rack next.
