Anyone else going to tried the crossbar from "Home Despot" idea? ...

Already did that last summer. Used the square steel tubing that simetimes used for small street signs. The kind that has a hole pre-drilled through it about every 1"-1.5". Bought some u-bolts and then modified those slightly by lining the u-bolds with some old rubber hose for extra grip.

Max Carnage, nice placement on the bike rack on either side. I was thinking about doing that. [/quote]

I used the flat stock and drilled my own holes. It allowed my rack to sit almost a full inch lower than using the square stock.

Maximum Carnage, that's with extension, right? Because if I were to get that, It would cover my sunroof.

Correct I have the extension on. If you look at page one of this thread you will see a comparison picture of the rack with and without the extension.

yep, it was hard to tell on those picture how much of a difference it would make on the roof. Thanks.

DO YOU HAVE TO BE A MEMBER TO BUY IT FROM COSTCO OR HOW CAN I GET ONE.....

I got mine from Costco and all I had to pay was extra 5% because I'm not a member. No shipping charges either!

Thule bought SportRack, not sure if Thule ever made the extension, I think they just gave it a different part number.

Coleman part number for the extension is 2224-711, I wasn't able to find one, everyone was out of stock.
SportRack part number for the extension is a21031, I found a couple but ended up buying from orsracksdirect.com for $79.20 (sale price)
