does $235 sound about right for a surco roof rack? |

Jeepin' by Al has it for $207.04, but you still need the mounting clamps and those go for $112. The Surco will not mount to factory rails without the clamps. |

COULD I USE THE bars that are shown here?

I THINK the short answer is "No". The cross bars on the Surco rack are a structural part of the whole basket. The floor plates bolt onto the cross bars. The clamps in your pic fit around the cross bars. The Surco clamps have a metal guide plate that fits inside the cross bars and then clamp to the stock rails in a similar fashion as the ones in the picture. I will post some close-up photos tomorrow if I didn't explain it well enough. |

My rack was only $150 through Summit. The mounting hardware only cost me about $16 at ACE but, it's not very pretty. |

Surcos rock and give great support for their product but with any roof rack be careful with the height when going into garages. Surcos are taller than most. |
