jp's-h3 is that your personal opinion or fact? I'm curious as I used Thule racks and gear on my last 2 grand cherokee's without any problems, but am curious as to why you feel the Yakima's are stronger?

Just wanted some opinions about the basket I am making for my H3? It will get powder coated in flat black when I am finished. Thanks

I put a cheap one on my H3. I think it looks great and easily attaches high lift jack and shovel etc.
There is a real nice one at H2parts.com under the H3 category. It is real nice and real expensive about $900 I believe the picture it is on looks like a H2 though.
More pictures at the link below.

As far as a weight limit, they said if you can get it up there it will hold it.

I had a roofbasket/rack installed by WILDERNESSRACKS. The owner used my H3 as a prototype for the rack. He used direct connect brackets so it installed right into the factory rails. No crossbows needed. You can check out there website at www.widernessracks.com

Does anybody else have the part numbers for any kind of roof channel brackets? I already have a Wilderness rack and don't need to pop another $800! Shouldn't be too hard to fit up. Don't want to buy Hummer bars just to mount up the roof rack.
I spoke with Ron at Garvin. He said my rack wouldn't work as it was too long at 4.5x6 to work on the H3. I will investigate and report back. BTW, the Garvin part# for the H3 rack is 36010.
TIA!

Thule makes some. They are available at various places. Check out their web site for dealers near you to check out their product.

Yeah that one. Looks good.
It is in the H3 section but I don't know if it works. I would call but I can't afford it right now anyway.  |

Is this what you were talking about? I like it! On the site it does indicate that it will work with a H3.

Yeah, the construction seems very tuff. I stood on it and it doesn't give or move at all. The center supports are replacable if you do manage to bend them.

NO, NO, NO!
YAKIMA is the only way to go. they don't have the towers out yet, but are working on it.
Here's what you need (or what I'm getting).
1- towers. (4)
2- crossbars. (2)
3- load warrior basket w/ extension or mega worrior basket.
4- shovel / ax mount.
5- off-road light mounts (2-4) depending on how many lights you want to install.
6- bike racks. (2) make sure the cross bars are long enough so that you can mount the bike racks on the sides of the basket instead of on top of the basket, this gives you a lot more room in the basket and makes loading your bikes much easier.
7- ski racks.
This is the same set up I had on my 86 4runner and it was awesome. YAKIMA equipment is built to last and fit's together nicely.
Cost? Roughly about $700-$800 for everything listed. Now that money well spent! </div></BLOCKQUOTE>
I did the same on my ZR2 Blazer/ Avalanche/ and Tahoe a while back. I think the Mega Load Warrior would look better on the H3, but the bars may stick out too far with your bike mounts on the out side. Not sure. Sportsrack should have them so you can put them up there. BTW- I think you could make the existing YAKIMA set up work with the existing tracks. I have the setup mounted to my bed cover on the SUT and I think it would work. You'd just have to get some stainless washers and your done. Let me know if you want the list I bought.

I don't have the cross bows either and planning to get the roof basket as well. anyway I found this one and it says the mount "fits into factory rain gutters on the roof of your vehicle, then bolt to your roof basket for a strong connection." No need for the bow.... </div></BLOCKQUOTE>
Fliggah-
What rack is that?
My brother put a Surco on his Expedition and took his crossbows off to mount it and it looks like it might work out for the H3, so I may give them a try.

What is the weight limit? Can you take another picture looking down...and sideways...possibly by standing in the rear cargo area? Do you like the quality of the construction?

I don't have the sunroof so I didn't need to deal with that. Hadn't thought about taking orders, but I will not until this one is done and painted so you can see the full effect.
