really wanting one to go full length of roof from back of sunroof to rear if possible.

I have the rola roof rack with extension and it goes a little past the back of the sunroof all the way back. It was about 250 shipped from eteailer. Really like the look, it has my 33 spare up there and it was easy to install. I put silicone at the joints to prevent water but I've only got it for a week or so. I really like the look!

I have the second one on the links you posted. OK build quality for the price.
Had 3 snowboards and other equipment on there and held up great.

killing two birds with one stone.... as Im in Sacramento visiting Pelirow here on the board.... I'm on the left with the Whitson MetalWorks and Pelirow on the right with the Drabbits version..... you can see the differences... both are full length versions.... of course I like mine much better but both are great racks

Cheap option that does what it needs to for less than 150 bucks shipped is rage roof basket. Pics in my thread...link in my signature. Happy hunting.

Whitson Metal Works. I'd buy from him if I really had the need for a rack.

Yea...if cost isnt an issue I think those are the best looking I have seen.

I would have definitely saved up for a WMW if I had known about them. I got a Curt with the extension off of amazon, it was pretty cheep and the length is perfect between the sunroof and back hatch. I still want to figure out a way to mount it directly to the rails instead of the crossbars.

 

[SweetWaterSurprise]

Rola, no extension.

I can't say enough about my WMW Rack. Plus Josh is an awesome guy to deal with.

Try this. Socco did a pretty cool job to mount his rack directly.
