Looking into buying a roof rack

[Goonsqd]

Bought a Rola yesterday....I'll put up pics after I get it and put it on. Here's the Before pics.

I have the Yakima Mega load warrior with the extender, I don't use it much but it works and spends most of the time in the shed. Wind noise and MPG drop isn't worth having on all the time for me.

HEY HEY HEY! THis is a family forum.

Are you certain you need a roof rack. If you look at the impact of wind resistance as it relates to MPG. You might find it better to simply add more slip rings to your roof tracks and put some 3m skid tape on your roof for when you are carrying.

When you look at the vertical height of the H3 without the racking. Its hard to get things into unless you are a giant or have something to stand on when you are loading.

Hey Goonsqd, I like the set up, color, wheels etc, on your rig. Ever consider blacking out those wheels? That would look sweet. Of course I am anti bling, but that is just me.

[Goonsqd]

I actually saw some black ones that would have been great.....after I already got those though.

My wheels WERE chrome originally. I had them powder coated for $60.00ea. If you really want black you can do it. It is just a pain in the ass putting the truck up on blocks and that while they get done.

Love the rims, sorry I can't lie they just look dirty like a ford trucks front wheels with break dust. Don't please don't lift your Hummer and spray paint the wheels ask more people if it looks good before you do it. Do it only if its your buddies ride and your pissed at him.

Goonsqd: Did you tint your front turn signals with nite shades? If you did how many coats did you use and can you still see the light pretty well when they are on?

Haydel, Thanx for posting your opinion of my wheels. It really comes down to what you like on your own truck. I happen to like the "blacked out" look of the tactical pakage with no bling on the entire truck. It sort of looks "basic" and "function over form". I see by your avatar that you like the shiny, girly, bling-bling, mall cruiser, "I listen to Hana Montana", pussy look. But hey, if that is what you like, that is what you should have.

That was funny.

I go for the blacked out look also and love the flat black. To each his own. The only thing I'd do different is flat black the center caps also. The only chrome on my whole truck are the exhaust tips, and I might powdercoat them black.

Holy ****! I was sitting in class bored as always...read this, and had to pretend to start coughing in order to hide my red face and laughter from reading it!
