kingbobdole Posted August 27, 2007 Share Posted August 27, 2007 go with a 4" lift:banana: MAN that rack is pricey! I priced what I wanted and it was like $413 BEFORE getting bent over on the shipping! OMG! looks sweet tho. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheLoyale Posted August 27, 2007 Author Share Posted August 27, 2007 Really! What did you pick? A 4" hey! Yeah that won't be for a long time! But i would love to do a lift. Not to high tho! I'm thinking of a 2.5" to 3" would be all i need! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OMG! looks sweet tho. sure is cheaper than a name brand one.....I was looking at a yakima load warrior setup before. this looks like it'll get the job done just as nicely, for a fraction the cost!

TheLoyale Posted August 27, 2007 Author Share Posted August 27, 2007 Yeah i know! I was really hooked on Yakima load worrior before i saw thins one! Yakima want's like $399 for the rack and then i would have to buy 2 posts for around $219 so it would have come to $520 or so! Plus i think this one fit's the car style better. Look's more Safari/Aussie outback look! Ya know! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluebaru Posted August 29, 2007 Share Posted August 29, 2007 I work for a bike shop and we sell a lot of yakima racks and I have used them before on my loyales. You need the Raingutter 1A towers which are pretty cheap now because not a lot of cars use them any more, dont get the Q towers because they cost more, also you could use the lowrider towers and take off the bottom parts and put them into the factory rack guides. go to a bike shop and try and get and old pair they have sitting around for cheap and then all you need is the cross bars ($55) and the rack. The advantage to using the yakima system is that then you can get mounts for anything from bikes to kayaks on your roof and its super solid, everything is REALLY tough. If you can find the right old parts it can prolly be done cheap too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluebaru Posted August 29, 2007 Share Posted August 29, 2007 I would ask about the track mount if you can get a hold of them before you order it, it will be better for the car then jamming those things down into the raingutter. The track mount looks like it should bolt right into the rectangular pieces that the factory rack bolts to in the guides. It would be more solid too... see if they know if it will work.

TheLoyale Posted August 29, 2007 Author Share Posted August 29, 2007 Yeah a track mount would be better then the raingutter ones! I'll have to contact them and see what they say! I'm talking about the Surco safari rack tho! Not Yakima! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheLoyale Posted August 29, 2007 Author Share Posted August 29, 2007 Can anyone tell me what Rack posts will fit right into my OEM tracks? Because i would ask them but i have a feeling that if i tell them what vehicle i have they'll say we only see parts for SUV's.. So they probely won't even help me.. So can anyone help me out on which would work!http://everythingsuv.com/surco_safari_roof_racks-esuv.asp Here's the link again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm talking about the Surco safari rack tho! Not Yakima! nope, rain gutter is 10000x stronger! have you pushed on the roof of your car? those tracks are riveted through tin foil. I run the yakima raingutter system for my bikes. it's EXTREMELY strong. my buddy used a ratchet strap to put his spare tire on the roof to the stock racks, and it pulled the tracks right out of the roof. and now he has no spare, and has holes in the roof Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheLoyale Posted August 29, 2007 Author Share Posted August 29, 2007 Yeah you are right! The center of the roof is like a soda can. but the edges where it bumps up are the strongest area! I'm going with the raingutter style! Thanx for the help! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kingbobdole Posted August 30, 2007 Share Posted August 30, 2007 Really! What did you pick? Ohh everything. Rack, mounts, high jack mount, light mounts, and the spare tire bracket... Maybe some day... but not today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheLoyale Posted August 31, 2007 Author Share Posted August 31, 2007 Oh well ok then, Yeah i'm going to get a few other things but not at the same time. (I an't got the cash) I'm just getting the rack, both mounts, And after i get some more money i mite get that spare tire bracket. then i'll buy some lights somewhere. And mount those up there. I'd like to see your Roo if you get that rack and sutch.. Later man..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
