Thanks for the info! We have lots of rust here in Canada - lots of salt on the roads during the winter. I don't think I would hit any overhead brush where I plan to go - but who knows in the future?

Sometimes will carry two canoes, sometimes carry 4 x 8 plywood.

I just ran across this: http://www.gorhino.com/default.cfm?fuseaction=home.xtremeracks

Looks like you can take off the part that goes above the cab. That would be very useful for me. And it looks fairly lightweight.

Did you happen to get a price of this rack?
