which roof racks

[byakk0]

Maybe I'm not hitting on the right search terms, but I didn't get much of anything with a forum search...so
What are good roof racks, or even any roof racks for that matter?
I've got a 2008 Mazda 5.
I'm looking to put a box up there, but I may do a mountain bike or two, or maybe even a little lumber (a few 2x4s, not a whole bunk of OSB )
Thule seems to be one of the biggest names out there. What models, or even other brands are there folks are using?

I have OEM crossbars. Picked them up used for $125 off CL

The OEM ones can be found pretty cheap on Ebay. If you can't find them for dirt cheap, I would actually step up to the Thule aerobar since it's very quiet and efficient.

do you have any item numbers for the thule,? I'll see what I can dig up on cl

I like the Inno ones I got - they were much cheaper than Thule ones. Rollo had a comparable offering.

No sunroof - Look no further than the Rola (aero bars)
Yes sunroof - Thule aerobar if you have the coin to spare. Otherwise, a used 1st gen off CL or a new 2nd gen bar off ebay. 1st gen bar cost more and is better/smartly engineered, IMO, but the 2nd gen looks manlier.

I saw the Rolla in person (another members car here) and looked great. That is what I am going with

I like the Rola racks, too, but I didn't go with them because their maximum weight capacity is only 110 pounds. My kayaks and carriers weigh more than that. The OEM rack will support 165 pounds, a significant difference.
