I'm curious as to what a good roof rack would be to get my boyfriend for christmas. He has a 1998 Runner with a sun roof. He'd like to put lights up top at some point I know too. I've seen on here a lot of people that have liked the baja rack and the yakima racks. Id like to know which one is better for your money. I don't mind spending a bit more money for a nicer option. I also know there are the Surco racks too.

 

THULE racks are nice, quality units
should be able to make him happy for about $350

 

BajaRacks are going to run more, but they look very nice.

I run a BajaRack on my rig, and the quality is great.
