New or used? If used, should post in the Parts Bin. If new, this is a recurring topic. Search is your friend... <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/cheers.gif" alt="" />

Pretty much any one will fit with the correct gutter mounts. Try an offroad shop.
I just want to tell you both good luck, and we're all counting on you.

What will you be carrying up there?
Snowboard/Ski's, Bikes, Canoes then go with Thule or Yakima.
Off road gear then consider Wilderness Trails or if it's still available (maybe used) confer.
There are also less expensive less rugged options available (aluminum etc.) but I'm not familiar with them so i'll let someone else chime in.
I have a Wilderness Trails Rack (Garvin) on mine currently but I've also had a Yakima rack up there for sports gear.

There was a nice looking '89 or '90 LWB for sale on ebay's
the other day...blue one in Virginny.
If you saw that, did you noticed the rack? Was that a dealer option?

Someone posted in OffTopic a while back that Costco was selling a pretty cheap rack. It was something like $70 before shipping. Might want to check their site to see if they have anything like that, unless you wanted something nicer. (it was pretty basic)

There's a guy on ebay who builds them. Don't think anyone has gotten one yet. They do look decent by description. I would like one that covers my entire roof, and am thinking about getting a price from him and selling my Yakima Mega+Extension to fund. Just haven't gotten around to making the effort yet. For his price, and me barely knowing how to weld, it seems like the way to go over DIY. (As much as I am looking for reasons to weld...)

I use Yakima gutter racks both in the US and here in OZ. I also picked up some Quick-N-Easy gutter racks on ebay that I use here - a little more roof clearance - My Pajero has a slightly higher roof line but they don't have internal locks. If I remember correctly, Yakima says you need extensions. I don't think so on the Raider. I've carried all sorts of stuff on the racks and really like the versatility.

Yard sales are a good place, too. I picked up my Conferr rack for a song; however, the mounts are going to cost me. FWIW: ![[Linked Image]](http://i236.photobucket.com/albums/ff112/rxinhed/Dodge%20Raider/P8221419.jpg) The rack goes well with a Conferr light bar I picked up.
