Hello all. I have a question regarding roof racks. I am looking for a full coverage roof rack fro my Suburban. Anyone recommend a specific brand or company?

Guest, we will be conducting site maintenance August 4th and some downtime is expected. At this time Rally Point and the Member Map will also become an app-only feature for long-term security and stability. A few days after this maintenance, a major upgrade revision to the forum site will occur.
this one with the extension is the one I was going to get ~ https://www.yakima.com/megawarrior

I'm not a huge fan of the Yakima (or Thule for that matter) racks, mostly because they don't cover the whole roof area. They just sit in the middle. And I think they look kind of cheesy. The Smittybilt one isn't bad.
Smittybilt is a good buy. If you buy it through 4WheelParts they should give you a good deal.

I made mine for approximately $200 including the FarmTek decking and I'm just a dork with a welder. If I can make it then I believe that anyone can make it. Used contractor bars as the base and used 1" 13ga HREW for the floor and ladder, 1" 14ga HREW for the risers and top rail. Could I have used DOM instead? Yup for more than twice the price the benefits didn't outweigh the cost.
When loading I walk around on my rack and have been known to stand on the rack as a lifted platform for photography.
