Had a little issue. Driving home from the mt's on a windy day my sporty's factory rack broke! it was only holding 4 boards. well below the factory rack weight. Has anyone took the factory rack off? I found a replacement factory one at the junk yard i can get for 5bucks but im thinking it will prob brake also! I found a yakima rack there also on a wrecked blazer. Im thinking about getting that one insted. it has locks on it so taking it off is gonna b a *****. Out of the 4 boards only mine got trashed the rest had little damage. suggestions?

if speed kill do brakes give life?
