Hey peeps, I am looking for some roof rack suggestion. I would like to get a basket for carrying luggage and things like that. No bikes or skis, just mundane stuff.

I have nothing on my roof right now. No mounts or anything. What and where can I get this stuff?

Any help would be greatly appreciated!!

You can find the VX-custom roof rack at any Isuzu dealer. I paid about $355 for mine back in December. On top of that, I put a Yakima Pro 16s cargo box (in silver). Although Thule cargo boxes are more popular around here than Yakima boxes (by a 50:1 ratio among the Vermont ski crowd, anyway), I thought the Yakima was a much better product (better mounts to the crossbars, better hardware arrangement inside, and a MUCH better lock). I bought it here:

I got the grey/silver model because, well, because it looked so much better on my silver VX than the black one in the link. It cost a bit more (about $410) and was a special-order item for them, but totally worth it. I'm quite happy with the look, but judge for yourself...

I have a stock Isuzu roof rack if you are interested for sale. It has been lightly used, but looks great still. I'd sell for a lot less then the dealership.

How much are you asking for it?

I'd sell for $160 + shipping -- it is missing the little "Vehicross" cosmetic screw covers. I would imagine you could get them from a dealership still. Everything else is included, mounting clips, screws, cross beams, end covers, etc. It is in really nice shape. The missing pieces are strickly cosmetic.
