…and mine too. So over the last few months I have been piecing together roof racks for our two cars. Searching Craigslist wherever I have family or friends to find the right price, relatives with things laying around and a barter here and there, I am ready for winter. My car - I got the towers with clips, bars, a basket and waterproof cargo carrier for $125. Currently have the basket and cargo carrier for sale. I did order locks and a new fairing from Yakima using my Ski Patrol discount because they were cheaper new then trying to find used online. ![http://i41.photobucket.com/albums/e300/Onefastmonkey/DSC_0659.jpg](http://i41.photobucket.com/albums/e300/Onefastmonkey/DSC_0659.jpg) ![http://i41.photobucket.com/albums/e300/Onefastmonkey/DSC_0663.jpg](http://i41.photobucket.com/albums/e300/Onefastmonkey/DSC_0663.jpg) Wife’s car - Found the rail grab kit on craigslist for $50. My plan is to get a piece of plexi and make a fairing for her or check craigslist periodically. ![http://i41.photobucket.com/albums/e300/Onefastmonkey/DSC_0711.jpg](http://i41.photobucket.com/albums/e300/Onefastmonkey/DSC_0711.jpg) ![http://i41.photobucket.com/albums/e300/Onefastmonkey/DSC_0710.jpg](http://i41.photobucket.com/albums/e300/Onefastmonkey/DSC_0710.jpg) Got 1 box from my cousin and the larger box in a friendly barter. No more folded down seats and jamming snowy ski gear in the car. ![http://i41.photobucket.com/albums/e300/Onefastmonkey/DSC_0297.jpg](http://i41.photobucket.com/albums/e300/Onefastmonkey/DSC_0297.jpg) ---

Awesome. I hate having slush in the car from snow that melts off the snowboard or boots. Doing it on the cheap is even better. ---

Now all you need is more low and some streched tires. But seriously that’s cool that you took the time to piece it together and save some cash. ---

If you care about your ski gear, a slushy mess can be avoided. Nice rack on your wife though. With that size car she will always be able to take more in than you could. ---
