The roof rack by far is the best thing I purchased for the H3. Keeps me from having to pull a small trailer. Like someone said,you can put stuff up there that you don't want in the cabin. Gas cans,chain saws,fishing polls, muddy nasty cloths from the kids atv adventures, x- mass tree, snow boards, six foot ladder. Just a few things I've had up there in recent months.

I don't understand this Roof Rack hype? The H3 has enough cabin room. I think it's a waste of $.
You should make some friends and take it on a long weekend full of camping and fishing gear. When's the last time you had a nice rack?:giggle:

Yea, already had the hitch receiver type for front and rear but wanted a cargo rack and cross rails to carry led off road lights.
I'm not sure if looking cool is wort a $1 extra per 20 minutes lol.

I didn't experience a loss of mpg when I put the Gobi rack on my T. In fact, I experienced an increase in mpg because I got the rack with the reverse wind turbine booster osmosis channel package that push the truck along after I hit 45 mph. Once those kick in, I don't use any gas at all...a true hybrid green alternative to gas/electric Prius technology. Plus, my rig still gets to look cool! [emoji12] ...oh yeah, and I do use it quite a bit to haul Demoncats after the elections!

Woodtick, it's a whole lot more than just an ordinary wind deflector...it's state of the art of the latest and greatest technology currently available...and yes, it does come in chrome. [emoji12]

Please don't tell Twinmill or else he will go out and buy the entire inventory of this package. It's not cheap but it's already paid for itself a few hundred times over.

I don't think it will work on Twinmills rig. His curb feelers would counter act all that induced power. I did forget to mention,real men enjoy big racks. Big racks and small racks always cost money in the end. The last statement is geared toward the younger members who haven't had a good old divorce under there belt yet.lol

Woodtick, on all counts in your post above, from your mouth to God's ears! A lot of wisdom and experience there my friend! [emoji12]

Hahaha. ... small or big seems to cost no matter the make up.
Date or marry they both bring happiness when running smoothly but God forbid there's a service interruption.

Search for "Scarsman" or Knight Metal Works here on the site, he has a plasma cutting machine and computer that can make any kind of bracket. But I know he is a very busy guy, so see if he can do it for you, or refer you to someone with his experience.

Not one to brag,but I like to live large. As you can see,no need to sleep on the roof of the H3. Why would I stay in a flea bag hotel?
