    Roof rack cross bars for 2003 Wagon

    I've got the Rhino Rack, model: sxbs31 crossbars. I've been very happy with them, although it looks like they're currenly out of stock at most online retailers. I believe I got mine in 2017, and they are holding up great.

    Alabama people in here!

    Wow, I didn't realize there were so many tdi's down here on the Gulf Coast. . . . I think I've only seen two others down here in five years. It's very good to hear. I appreciate the tips on mechanics, I'm coming up on a suspension/ rear axle job and am looking at options. I've been lurking...
