    Possible Find!!! OEM roof racks in BOX

    Thats right i am still waiting to hear 100% back but I think I may have found 4 complete OEM roof racks in BOX! The price shipped should be 300.00 or less per rack. This will include all mounting hardware, 4 towers, and the two crossbars all NEW IN BOX. Let me know if you have any questions for me or want to buy one. If there is people wanting to buy them I will list them in the for sale section. Just using this to get the word out to the forum.


    I need some basic stats from current owners of FACTORY racks:

    - OEM cross bar width
    - Yakima part number or name of the towers used on OEM racks.

    The info I have on the racks I located is

    -48" or 52" width bars
    - Wing Rider 1 towers with VX hardware ( Yakima has confirmed with me that the wing rider one towers were sold and used on the VX but are no longer made)

    I just measured my set and they are 38.5" OD from yakima tip to Yakima tip.
    Hope this helps?

    Thanks yes the bars are not the original Isuzu bars but are wing riders direct from a Yakima dealer with a lot of NOS in his shop that he is closing after twenty five years. The bars can be cut to fit or left any length up to 52"

    I have the original paperwork from the OEM roof rack called "Wing Style Roof Rack"
    The OEM roof rack INCLUDED the 4 Yakima towers:
    Isuzu Part Number: 2-90116-900-0

    I also was recently able to pick up 6 of the original Mighty Mounts from another forum member. I haven't used them yet. If I ever figure out a way to get a modified Thule fairing (like Workmesiter's), then I'll need 4 of the Mighty Mounts.

    I have two sets of Mighty Mounts for the VX cross-bars (one horizontal, one veritcal) that I will be listing on eBay this weekend...

    The horizontal ones are for attaching bike racks to the roof rack, the vertical ones are for ski & snowboard racks.

    Stay tuned... I will post here when I list them on eBay.

    Here's a pic of the my Mighty Mounts for BIKE. I believe they're horizontal based on what VehiGAZ says above.

    Also included OEM roof rack installation instructions and part list & numbers.
