Love my Frontrunner rack....get a stubby antenna if you plan on hauling over the back edge though.

Looks good. Pricey?

Cheap Amazon roof rack. Do not recommend going down this path. Buy something from a quality company. Came in damaged and they gave me a full refund and let me keep it. Had to sand, prime, and repaint the whole thing. Bought Mopar color matched paint for the side panels. Fitment of the two pieces together was poor, bad hole alignment. Eventually got it all together and it looks decent. How long it will hold up is the bigger question. Hauled two tires up top for a 3.5 hour drive to my parents house this weekend with no issues. When I got back I replaced the thumb screws provided to secure it, with M8 hardware that has a good application of Loctite. Anyone could have walked away with the basket in about 10 minutes or less using they hardware they provided.

TY Justin, we love pictures on the forum.

I wonder if there is such an addition for roof racks such as a "security locking nut with a key?".

A variety of security locks are available for boats, caravans, cars but a roof rack

There's stuff out there. But it would also require investing in tools for said hardware. This for example seems like a decent option, but a 25 count set is $29!

I've also read that some people use coated steel cable and a lock to secure them to the roof rails. But I'm not too keen on having that wobbling around on my roof.

 

[puddlesplasher]

Do you know what the nuts are called?

I am thinking that maybe on Ebay you could find perhaps 4 of them for just a few $$$

Rattling on my roof would annoy me and I wouldn't be keen on that solution either

Maybe this secured from rattling with heavey duty zip ties?

The ones I posted are called "Tri-Groove" nuts. Doesn't seem like Ebay has much better pricing. The socket alone is over $20.00.

 

[JustinC1431]

I think I found a good option for a reasonable price. Safety cable and a weather proof lock. I think if I get the correct length it should blend in pretty well and not be too big of an eyesore.

you could secure the lock from flopping around with really good zip ties

I think I had them on in about 40 minutes, but I was kind of an idiot about it. Next time it should take less time.

I have the Thule Canyon (Large).

I'll post pix as soon as it's on.

Hey I was thinking about getting this one for mine! Your picture you posted doesn't look 50" long, though. Is it 50"?
