    Hard to recommend something that I've never owned and tested out. These are cheap and they might be worth a try just because of it.

    Yea I hear ya. If I have to spend $400 on 2 bars I will just buy a trailer hitch. So I am just trying to justify the cross bars, since I can use that for our bikes and kayaks.

    no, in fact the front one's are barely wide enough. the end caps won't fit because there's not enough bar. so I covered in electrical tape temorarily

    I got the Reese cross bars from Walmart for Xmas. Think they were like $80.00. They are a little noisy at high speed, but they work for me!☠ now time to buy a rack

    These are also an ebay find. Also a cheap mod. Read the description once you find it, I think its option A for the length of the bar you'll want.
