if youre willing to spend 10% of the vehicles cost on a different rack by all means, those $600-$1000+ aluminum setups seem nice. Id go the route of those rectangular aftermarket crossbars LFG (sp?) or thule/yakima most likely, used on craigslist. even aftermarket no name brand decently reviewed crossbar options off amazon thatll fit to the stock rails and pull off what youre looking for for under $200.
Also, nice choice (OP) on the smittybuilt. i just saw trailrecons review of that tent in 2P i believe and it seems rugged. no tears or leaks with a good amount of use, 116lbs, $795 or something like that.
i was thinking of getting one just because MA is so bad for camping/offroading, figured it might gain me a loophole for staying at some surf spots for the night and dawn patrol sessions, etc. but well see. i run a marmot ground tent (catalyst 3p) that is sweet, never wet, just cant camp anywhere in this state unless in a campground.
enjoy!
