I really like the cargo master gutter mounts that are around $50. I've had mine on for a few months now and just used some 1x3 for the cross bars

Damn.
I hate it when you have to mod accessories bought brand new.

I will however consider this info when installing. Will try to reinforce i stall somehow to prevent it from being "claimed by the trail"!
Check out post #67 in the thread below. I can give you details as to what is involved to repair the oem rails. It was a little time consuming but with 2 people it's not all that bad. Best to go ahead and bite the bullet adn do the repair before installing gutter mounts. Bad oem rails will also cause leaks since they hold water.

Fixed bars. Actually some time ago. Orderex some rectangle stock and "re-configured" gutter clamps. See my build thread for details. It could now be an extra recovery point!

I have Thule gutter mounts, with their M.O.A.B. basket (with extension). Ive loaded up the basket pretty heavy for camping, tailgating and moving and have never had an issue. It also had no issue supporting an average sized full grown male laying on it.
