looking for pics and info on roof racks

Im looking for info and pics from anyone running a roof rack. One of the many things Im using the new Burb for is running to the beach with our two 11' surf boards. Id like to find a low profile roof rack just for the purpose of strapping the two boards to.

Thanks!

Thanks man. It looks like it came from the factory or was added at the dealer.

I think this idea with the gutter clamping system is so cool. You can custom build a rack to fit your needs. And you can say you did it yourself. Looking forward to seeing pics of how it comes out.

Re: looking for pics and info on roof racks

that and its entirely removable. While I love the full blown wood rack posted above, mine will be more of a minimalist rack for the specific purpose of mounting my two surf boards. Ill post pics as soon as I get it done!
