    Roof rack??? Not for me. Roof racks cause too much air-drag which results in poor MPG. A better solution is to remove the worthless backseat, and stow all of your gear inside the cargo area. Sleek and smooth makes the VX a happy VX, instead of a wind-catcher with a roof rack.

    you gonna store 4 snowboards, a full size spare, a hi-lift, and 3 friends in your VX with no back seat??

    LOL

    Period

    I got my racks from this guy in MN which i'm not quit sure was even a member,he contacted me first so i believe he was just a lurker,then got another set from IDGAF27 in NJ, gues i was lucky to own two sets of racks,thereafter sold one of the sets to MDwyer.

    I add some roof lights which i use in the city,but once i hit on the highway i get them off.

    I've never been a roof basket fan,however for 4wheeling is a must to carry one.

    But to REALLY get that mileage up there, you need some lightweight, low unsprung weight, 2 ply bicycle tires...

    T-J off...
