It seems to me that I can get a nice aluminum roof basket for my highroof delica for between 300-400 dollars BUT Thule and Yakima also have some nice stuff but closer to 600$ and I'd still need to buy the bars on top of that.
Does anyone have any prefrences? The al. ones at Enviro or Japanoid look like they would do the job....

you have to decide how much weight you might want to put on the rack. steel ones will always end up rusting, just a matter of time. some people like the thule ones for the optional "stuff" that can go with them , but here is a pic of what a safari one can do, and they look so bad ass on top of the van

I think the rack makes the van, but the buyer decided not to take the van, what do you think, rack or no rack?
