i bought a yakima universal bike mount for my roof rack... got it home, installed it, went to put a bike on it... packed it back up and took it back
it was a MAJOR pita to get a bike on the roof of the vx.. its just too tall.. it was just a matter of time before i dropped a bike on my roof or the side of my vx... i would recommend getting a hitch and a hitch mounted bike rack.. i sent tone an order for one of his tow hitches on friday, he had his fabricator start on it the same day and it will be shipped before he leaves for moab on friday...

Yup, that's the conclusion I came to. No bikes are going on my roof rack. Its just too risky. Now that I have Tone's hitch, I will be buying a hitch mounted rack for my 2 TREKs.

JHarris,
I have a couple of bike racks on my roof, but it's a bit of a paint to get them mounted. Since our cross bars are so wide I hade to get an adapter to mount a secondary smaller bar above the factory cross bar that the bike racks then mount to. It puts them up a little high, but since the racks are connected to the secondary bars all I have to do is unbolt the adapters from the factory cross bars and everything comes off together in one piece. Here's a picture of the set-up at Moab last year. I can take some closer pictures for you if you would like.
