MoFab makes a cool looking rack. Check into that one too.

So... let me get this straight. You drive a 6000lb., 4WD shoebox with a V8 engine and you can't figure out why your fuel economy is poor?! O_o

Just don't forget the thing is up there when you drive into a parking garage. Saw it happen a few years ago with a Tahoe. Thought the guy was gonna bust an artery.

I agree, I really like that one. I'm not a big fan of the big roof "baskets" you see a lot, they seem like overkill to me. This one looks like it gives you a place to put stuff on and gives you plenty of strapping points. It looks like maybe you can add more than one at a time too.

I wonder if you could get that style all across the roof to have more stuff strapped down

I dunno, I like having the basket sides for help holding stuff in. On my Blazer when I strap a spare gas tank and a cooler and a couple chairs up there, It would take quite a few more straps to hold all that stuff in, rather than the 2 or 3 I need to strap in using the sides of the basket.

But that does look pretty sharp on top of the discos...wonder if they make one for my Range..
