Just curious, how do you store the yaks? I've been thinking of a trailer that telescopes or folds when not in use. Then you could stand it up against the wall or something. I have room at home, but parking at places like LJ is hard with a trailer.

Bob, the Thule racks are a cheapo shameless rip-off of the design of the original Trac-Racs. Have a look at the Trac-Racs. Mucho beefy and I have never had a problem with them over many 4x4 roads. ~~~Pete~~~

To me they've always looked light duty. I'd go with the steel, harbor frigate version.

I second the trac-racs from home depot. The down bars are angled out displacing weight out on the bottom where its solid, but not on the top. Less sway definitely. Could always get a snugtop with racks on it. I just picked up a used one in great condition for around $800 in LA, color matched to my white gmc sierra. I like being able to lock up the bed on the way down and dont have to worry about stuff blowing out on the highway!

Very true, downside is being stopped to look inside at every checkpoint. GOOD SCORE!!!
