Important Survey I, Please Respond
Hey guys, I'm doing some research for a school project and I need to find out what everybody out there puts on their roof racks. So if you guys could, please state the following:
1) Make/Model/Year Of Your Rig
2) Type of Rack You Have
3) Items (Can be anything you've put on their before)
4) Pictures if possible, if not it's ok too.
Mods I don't know if it's ok to put this in this forum, but is there anyway to sticky this for just a couple weeks? It's kinda important.
Thank you for your time

1) 2002 Toyota 4Runner
2) Yakima (Control Towers + 48" crossbars)
3) Mostly just snowboards
4)
Extra Questions Edit:
1) About how many miles do you drive on road with these items in your rack? (per month or per year)
Well, I really only put the snowbaords up on the rack if I'm going riding somewhere far, like Mammoth Mountain, or if I've got people in the back seat, which I would normally have the 1 or 2 boards there with the seats folded down. This past month, I drove about 400 miles with 4 boards up there. On average tho in a month I guess it's more like 150.
2) About how many miles do you drive off road with these items in your rack? (per month or per year)
None. Once I get a Yakima LoadWarrior cargo basket, I'll have lights up there and a hi-lift jack for wheelin trips.
3) How frequently do you use your rack per year or per month.
Per month, usually, two to three times. With my current setup, less in the summer months.
