it was great! snow all the way sucked for my cargo on top though. =\
So, on further review, I still am impressed with the bars. They are rated at 100 max lbs. I hauled 140lbs in 3 long boxes 18"w 6"t 5' L. i stacked them 2 wide and the smaller heavier box on the top. At about 145lbs and then...
if youre frustrated with trying to find good quality rack for your 02-07 libby, youre in luck!
I am on my 3rd roof rails, I buy online and try out then return.
i stumbled across an ebay seller that is selling steel rack bars that are exact replicas of the 280$ thrule versions. I dont know...

Took the libby up to mid Michigan last week. Took her twice on the Denton Creek trail, south of Houghton Lake, super elaborate snow mobile trails. Got to crawl up some sand dunes and splash up some mud in the wetland areas. Fun all around.
so the bolt fits the threads of the 2 holes from where the hooks would be? and you just add strength by washers and a nut inside? or are the 2 holes from the towhook just plain and dont have threads?
I dont see any washers on your setup..
so, after drilling the holes through the ball mount, i put the bolt through the washer then mount hole, and it will catch the threads of the hole where my tow hooks should be? you mentioned nuts, not sure where those go. and where does this steel plate go?
can you link me? i cant find anything about that mod.

I went ahead and updated all the major bulbs on the car. 4 white and 2 amber in the rear and 2 9007 50% brighter white headlights. Also put LEDs for cargo and map lights. they are BRIGHT! (good thing for me)
Now i am...
I'm heading out to Denton creek trail, finally found a spot from a local advanced auto store. I'll be on the east trail between 127 and m18, south of the lake. If any wants to meet up text me 443 473 4477
