I ordered one and then the next morning they removed them from the site. My guess is the computer says they are out of inventory.

this is to all with rack setup: does your rack effect gas milage?? ive heard they cause a lot of wind resistance and it effects the milage. and does it make a lot of wind noise??

No wonder costco pulled it. I googled coleman rack and the $59 deal was posted on expedition portal, subaru forums, YT, etc etc etc...

Ok like i said early in the post i want to put my Coleman towards the front of my truck, not on my factory mounts. Someone sent me the link for some off brand Thule clamps and load bars (which are freaking sweet). They are the gutter mount kind. Below i have a link to those clamps and a pic of my runner. Can someone please tell me if the clamps will work on my truck.

You don't have gutters, thus they will not work. Look on the Yakima site, they have options for your truck.

@bigkabe

I had a set of Yakima roof rack bars like what it sounds like you are looking for. They mounted just above the doors on my 4Runner. Worked great too and were very strong.

low profile mount for less than $20

well I did not care for the height of it mounting on the factory roof rack so I went to do some first time fabricating. the coleman rack seems too thin walled to drill or weld to so I went with some U-bolts welded to 2 pieces of 1/2" square tubing welded together that I then welded to a 1/8 X 1" piece of flat. I got 2 mounts spot welded tonight but I'm going to change the u-bolts so they are laying on thier side so it has a more finished look. The flat pieces are 5" long with hole drilled in the end to bolt onto factory channel locks of original roof rack. see attached pics. I'll post more pics once I have it mounted. I plan on powder coating it and used SS bolts. which are M6-1.0 bolts.

im glad i got mine when i did then. i think the reason they were so cheap is because they were discontinuing the model. when i got mine it was 75 then 50 a week later now there not at costco anymore.
