Looking at roof racks

Hey, I'm looking for a roof rack for my 96 Disco SE7. I really like the standard Voyger from RoverRacks.com, but at $1K it's hard to pull the trigger. Anyone know of other similar alternatives, used ones are proving hard to come by?

I did and searched "rack". Most of the posts looked very outdated. Thanks for the suggestion though...

RE: Looking at roof racks

Most any decent rack will probably cost $700 and up. Some people say NWP (NorthWest Parts) racks are a cheapo knock off of the SD racks. The RoverRacks look great and seem very stout. I got to see one up close on my Pismo trip. You easily stand to loose 1-2 mpg with a full rack like that, and have potential clearance issues in garages.
