Go to your favorite yard, pull a part, and just get two more roof rack cross bars and slide them on. They are east to remove and still. You know you can use more than two up there right??

here's what it looks like. think it would look cool if i had a 5th one in the middle bnecause they all sit at diffrent hights because of the bar. im just worried about the weight of them... making the bar come out of the slider things because of drag going down the road.

The bar will not come out. I had 4 on the stock one. At night it will appear the light beam bounces and will lead you to believe the bar is flexing. The bar does not flex, however where the bar attaches to the plastic sliders there is some play. I'd recommend fabbing up some steel band clamps and tighten em over the two like I did (sorry I do not have pics) and you could whip donuts and hit jumps at 50+ and that thing wont move an inch.
