Yet Another Rack Thread
#5
Here is what I am thinking. A company called VanTech sells a set of three aluminum crossbars, technically a ladder rack, with gutter mounts for less than $150.00. Powder coated black, rated at 750 lbs. evenly distributed. Baja Mega Mule mounted to that. Seems like a pretty solid system at a fairly reasonable cost.

There was a guy shown in the Rover's North catalog a while back that had the generic square van-ladder-rack-mount setup and he did a roof-top tent setup on it. It looked kind of funny, but he didn't paint his black like you are talking about.
