Personally, I bought two cross bars from LFD and mounted a rooftop tent i rented for a camping trip, and it worked awesome. They bolt right up to the OEM rails. They are a little bit higher (maybe 1/4" or so if I remember correctly). I think they look great, too. Plus, it allows you all kinds of possibilities to mount to them or tie down to them, which the OEM cross bars do not.
Again... sorry to add to the length. But I kinda don't like the OEM cross bars, so I made it personal...  |
Strange coincidence. I am going with the factory rails (which I'm having powder coated black), three of the wide LFDO crossbars, and the LFDO wind fairing integrated crossbar.
