i guess it really comes down to - do I go off road alot - or do I travel heavy and need the extra space

Because I live in MI I went with hitch then tow hooks.One slide on icy snowy roads they'll pay for themselves. And I made my own crossbars,to haul my kayaks on till I make a trailer for them.

tow points. you need them front and rear. probably be able to do em for less then $150 if you post in the classifieds. idk if you have a rear hitch but i you need a rear tow hook i have one i could sell.

im thinking the tow hooks are a better investment for the time.

DirtyKK, i do have the OEM rear hitch. I was assuming that i didnt need the rear hooks because i have that. BUT if i do need them than ill take ya up on your offer. :SOMBRERO:

If you just want bars and no attachments just make them with 1 1/4" conduit, square u bolts, spray bed liner, and rubber cane ends as plugs. It looks good and will cost about $35.
Maybe black spray paint instead of bed liner, mine is chipping already.
