Hey you guys, I found a conn ferr roof rack on craigslist and wondering if 200 is a good price for them. it came off of a suburban and the dimensions are 72 by 54. i found some gutter mounts online that fit a cherokee. would this fit on the montero??

Thanks Cody

The rack is fairly adjustable and will fit.

gutter mounts are gutter mounts it really should not matter the vehicle as long as the vehicle has roof gutters. unless that thing is absolutely perfect $200 is a little high. I had a conferr rack that I got for $150, and I got my surco rack for $75 Good luck with it.

Not a bad price for a large Conferr. Also the Conferr is a lot better than the Surco. I have owned both.

i found a conferr roof rack for 25 bucks on craigslist.
so my initial reaction is that you're paying too much.
as for the gutter mounts the should do the job but more than likely they aren't gonna sit as flush as they would on the car they are intended for.

ive talked the price down to 180 dollars!!! and it comes with universal mounting brackets.

And also are there mounts for lights on top??

Confer is a very good heavy duty rack in comparison to may that are made more for looks than functionality. I'd say it's on par if not better than the Garvin Wilderness Trails Racks that are available today which IMHO are far superior to the Surco racks I've seen/considered.

$200 isn't a bad deal but if you can get it for less, then great. $25?!? that's beyond a steal and I wouldn't expect to ever find one at that price unless there was something wrong with it, so if you found one at that price consider yourself to have been gifted one.

Factor in the reality that they're no longer being built... well, I'd snatch one up at $200 if I found one and needed a rack. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/kewl.gif" alt="" />

Thanks offroader for that. Ill try and talk him down to like 160. is there any mounts for lights on the front or do i have to modify it?

There was a guy on Craigslist that built custom roof racks 4x6 with shovel mounts tire mounts hi lift mounts ect. for around 225 with sidemounts. You should do a search for him on the Inland Empire CL.

I used to have a conferr It easy to build brackets for lights. Do not drill into the tubes like some people do. either build brackets that clamp on or weld on. If you can get it for $160 thats a good deal. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/kewl.gif" alt="" />
