Nice Rack! -- Firm Up Your Ride With An Eye-catching Cargo Carrier

Theres no shame in admitting that most guys can appreciate a good rack

. Its in our nature. And, the more thats packed into it, the better. Because the more you can haul, the more fun youre bound to have. So when its time to hit the backcountry or slide into those slopes, dont leave home without outfitting your ride with a roof rack or cargo carrier.

Roof racks, like the Mini Cooper rack or FJ Cruiser roof rack, allow you to safely and easily transport your recreational gear to and from your destination while providing extra room in the cab for snacks, beverages or a couple of your freeloading buddies. A high-quality CRV rack is forged from steel tubing, capable of holding up to 300 lbs of evenly distributed weight, and usually works with any cargo carrier system. However, beware of the generic rack. The best roof racks are personally-tailored to your specific make, model and year to provide a custom fit, and come complete with all the necessary hardware for a quick and easy installation. Plus, theyre finished in a tough black-powder coating that resists corrosion and manufactured by trusted names like Smittybilt and MBRP.

Aside from their sturdy construction, a CRV rack, like the Yakima rack, provides convenience. They store bikes, boards, skis and all of your other gear up and out of the way. Unlike a rear-mounted rack, which often connects to your trailer hitch, a FJ Cruiser roof rack (or similar model) wont block your vision or obstruct access to the rear of your vehicle.

But not everything you take with you is going be oversized. Sometimes you need a little extra space for smaller things like additional luggage, souvenirs or the baffling array of crap the kids cant leave home without. Its at times like these that rooftop carriers come in handy. They act like a second trunk, expanding your storage capability while allowing for more leg room or an extra cooler in the cab. And, on a long trip, a little extra leg room is worth its weight in gold.

Many rooftop carriers, like the Thule roof box, feature a snap-on mounting system that often works with your existing roof rack, providing quick installation and simple removal for convenient storage between trips. Constructed from all-weather ABS, rooftop carriers come in three sizes with up to 17 cubic feet of cargo room, and they provide the added benefit of security. Unlike a standard roof rack, rooftop carriers allow you to lock your belongings when you stop to stretch your legs or head out on the trail, effectively protecting your valuables from thieves.
