b4 even trying to size it. the rack has no bottom? so everything you put up theer will be sitting on your actual roof so you wouldnt be able to mount anything there just tie it down or use the rack for looks. idk if its worth the $150

I think it is worth about $100 without the bottom and if it needs to be modified it to fit. The metal to build one is pretty expensive right now.
