Need(want) a roof rack
Can anyone recommend a reasonable, but good roof rack. Is 48" or 64" look better than the other? Thanks for the input fellas. Merry Christmas!

Here's an option, and you have a choice on what length you prefer (and I think the thread has some pics of all the choices): Inexpensive Full Length Roof Rack (Curt Rack)

Obviously the sky is the limit with these things but if you’re anything like me, budgets seem to always limit the imagination.
I’m planning on doing this setup along with the extension and a few cans of Rust-Oleum Truck bed liner to protect it and prevent rust from forming.

I recently picked up a used Rola rack off of FB. You can get them new on Amazon for like $240. It has the extension so it hangs over the sunroof. I disabled the tilt feature of the sunroof, made some Z type mounts that I copied from a thread I found on here. Works and looks great.

Haha yeah I know they’re quite pricy. The ones that are 1/4 the price aren’t as slim or sleek though, and not truly full size.

I agree. I need a swing out bumper before a rack too.
