I've been pricing up getting roof racks and I've found you can spend a couple of thousand of the hard-earned ones without too much trouble. In my surfing days I got by on $10/pair tubes from K-Mart!
I usually take a 6x4 trailer soft-camping but now I've upgraded to a Prado I can fit more in the back but it will still need room for chairs, tables and water bottles. I'm looking at an aero double bar from Rhino ($130 each) plus a wire roof rack of 1200x1000 mesh basket rack ($160). This should give me enough room. I refuse to pay $200+ for a canvas bag for the basket.
Any suggestions for a better setup for under $500 will be most welcome!
