Actaeon, looking at the base systems right now.
Trying to decide between this
Thule 480 Traverse Roof Rack - Complete System for Cars & Trucks Without Factory Rack, Gutters, Side Rails etc.
or this
Inno IN-SU Roof Rack System (Black) | Inno Car Rack for Naked / Smooth RoofTops
Then I am looking at something like this
Thule 615 Pulse XL Roof Box (Matte Black) - 16 cu/ft Value-Priced Roof Rack Mount Cargo Container
or possibly one of these
SUPER SALE Thule 91725 Universal Flat Top Ski Rack & Snowboard Rack for up to 6 pairs of skis or 4 snowboards
Thule Snowboard Racks - Thule 575 Snowboard Rack for Carrying 2 Snowboards on any Car Roof Rack
Maybe one day get a bike carrier as well, although I already have a Saris that attaches to the trunk/bumper that works pretty well.
Main purpose right now is to carry my slalom ski and a couple wake boards in the summer to the lake. Possibly carry luggage or baby/kid stuff on trip as well. Its an expensive investment so I'm trying to research as best I can before I spend the money.
First, do you have a luggage rack?
Some attach to it, some are made to go to a car top with no roof.
Next, those look kinda specific function built.
I could be wrong.
With a cargo rack, anything goes.
With a ski/bike rack, you're limited to what it's made for.
You (or bramedic) are welcome to look at it.
