Thanks for the feedback Alan. I've got a Mazda Tribute ( I think it's a Mercury over there ) which is a bit smaller than your GMC, and I always put them inside. They just fit, virtually window to window with a couple of inches to spare. The wife then has to sit in the back but most trips are solo anyway. As you can see from the photos in the link below, the roof rack centres are under spec. but apart from this trip to Tasmania, I've never had a problem. With this trip, viewtopic.php?f=70&t=46696&hilit=tasmania, for some reason that I've yet to work out, the gear on the roof just wouldn't find a position and stay there.It made me pretty nervous ( and p'd off ) at times. Straps were loosening, the hull was moving and skewing sideways. It was all fastened exactly how I've always done it but this time it just didn't want to go on the trip. on the return trip I even turned the whole thing upside down which made it behave but then it knew we were going home ( these AI's have got a mind of their own. ) So I've got to come up with something a bit better and will certainly have a look at the THULE now to see if I can make it work. |

I sorta forgot we were hijacking a thread Al. The thread author is a bad tempered mongrel as well. |

Due to the overwhelming outpouring of votes and the difficulties in tallying such a huge response - I motion that the GrandPoohBaah's above vote be adopted into record as the final outcome for 2013 .. .. and that we make things a bit more exciting for 2014 I think we need some real pirate booty to spice things up a bit, if not donated store goods then backyard workshop goodies like Double Bungie Dongles or Haka Seat covers .. |

I don't know about upping the prizes. I still haven't quite gotten over not winning that coveted rudder pin the first year, even though even I voted for a better pic. |

Agree that a couple of prizes would probably give the thread a lift. I would have thought that some dealer would be keen as mustard to grab some almost free advertising. ( A prize....hmmm.....I've got an old 'Twist and Stow' rudder somewhere in the shed ) |
