In the absence of the FR load bar kit available here in the US, i am now looking at roof racks. I like the voyager; however, based on my need to carry canoe and Jon boat, i am a little concerned about the rubbing against the wind flaring up front. Not a deal killer because i am sure there is a work around, but based on this concern i have done some additional searching.
I bumped into another brand that i have not heard much about on this or other forums (i have used the search feature extensively). The brand is Gobi and the rack is a little more expensive, but it does not require short OEM rails, it comes with a ladder and it has flooring already installed through much of it (and includes removable horizontal bars). Overall it is a good looking option, but there is virtually nothing i can find on the web related to noise, which is a concern of mine (the flaring is below the front top bar, which i like, but am wondering if it will howl). Anyone who has any experience with these, please let me know your thoughts on purchasing again given other avaiabilities/options.
