I'm looking to get a roof rack to help with my move to a new home. I'm not looking for anything to expensive to just a something simple that will allow me to carry a bed on my roof?

What do you all recommend?

 

there is no cheap way out. everything will cost you around $900 - $1200. Why dont you just tie it to the factory rails? or use a heavy sheet of plywood tied to the rails as a platform to make your own ghetto wood rack.

 

cheapest option would be to rent a small U-haul trailer if you have a hitch

 

or a large u haul and tow the truck

 

i run the thule superhigh lift mounts ans rack set up with a extention in the rack. look em up on the thule site.

i paid under 500 for my set up and it works great.

 

I with sloppy. I got my entire basket, clamps and cross bars for under $500

 

I got the Surco 50X50 Safari rack. Installed for just under $400. Its sturdy enough to get the job done, but not as nice as a $1000+ rack from bigger name brands. Here's some pics:



Eventually I will add a floor to the rack to make it easier to store things. You can buy chicken coop flooring for cheap at a farming supply store.

 

wow yeah you need some flooring on that rack how do you put anything on that? how is the clearance on there? enough for the rear sun to open? looks it...

 

Sunroof? Whats that? You open yours? It always messes up my hair.

 

Cam-can that roof rack be extended to the full length of the truck?
