Roof Rack or Expensive Nightmare?
Hey All....
Quick question.. I am looking for a roof rack to attach my fishing poles to when running the beach - My H3 is Black and I would like to keep as much chrome/silver/aluminum off it as possible..
I found these, which may work, but if anyone else has any ideas, please email or post....

They are SO expensive!

RE: Roof Rack or Expensive Nightmare?
If you are interested in getting a safari rack which would hold your poles and other stuff
try Summit Racing P/N SUR-S5060 with P/N SUR-CH100 Adapter Kit. I bought these for
my H3 The Rack is $187.98 and the adapter is $39.95 plus $28 shipping. This Rack is made by
Surco. http://store.summitracing.com/partde...0&autoview=sku

You will need to get longer bolts to attach the adapters to the roof channels.

Do you know what size bolts are needed? Also the rack looks strong is it?

If I recall the bolts that I used were 6.5 mm x 20 mm long. I bought them at a advance
auto parts. I just brought one of the shorter bolts there and matched it up on the hardware
board.
