Nice, got any pics?

My old laptop crashed, took the pics with it.

Looks like this. Very very strong, and easy to take on/off.

Just lots and lots of salt on the roads around here and when I wash my car, it sticks to the wet parts and dries all over again

Both sides are like that. It's angled so that it sits flush up against the front rain seal for the windshield.

Ha! I quoted you!

If you remember correctly, then that's more than what the rack on my Explorer would hold. Nice.

Here's the link I bought mine from. It's a Scion direct site. That guy didn't know what the hell he was talking about.

http://scionpartspeople.com/searchpr...able+Roof+Rack

Comes with the 2 bars, 4 post mounts, 4 rubber pads, 4 Q-clips, measuring tape, 6 lock cores, 2 cut keys and 1 blank key. Everything you'll need is there. Takes about 45minutes to 1 hour to get setup and aligned properly. After that, you can take it off and only put it on when you need to. Takes about 10 minutes to reinstall since all you have to do is align it properly.

If we didn't have the treat of snow or even 3 million pounds of salt all over the roads, it would be washed. Until then, eh.

Going to install the bike adaptors soon and throw the bike on there, but it's too damn cold and I'm going to the Motor Trend Auto Show in Baltimore today

tell me about it, there is more salt on the roads than snow at all times
