Default Here's my new roof rack.

Its not an expensive brand name rack, just mounts to my existing bars, but it does the job. What do ya think?

Need KC lights?
leave alone?

I don't know what to think of it just yet....

Thanks!
I just turned 79500 miles. The rack is about $150. I bought this one used. I have another that I will post on the for sale forums in a week or so.
