How do you get the jet boat on the roof rack?

^I think he meant the SAV, not the roof rack when typing "It"

Oh----too bad, I would rather put my boat on top than in the cargo area. Sticks out too far and I have to leave the hatch open and have my kids sit in the front of the boat to keep the back from draggin' the pavement.

Human hair wigs now are helpful to more and more people now, and do you know why? Just here you will know how helpful the human hair wigs are to people now. In different conditions such as the party, in the office different hair style are suitable for different situation and even meet with people’s suit and so on. But if need to have the hair cut just to suit one case this is really a big trouble. If so then the synthetic wigs for women will give a hand to people.

I like the smooth look better, unless it's a rugged terrain rock crawler.
Aero dynamic to limit drag, trying to get as much mpg out of it as possible

I'm also in that small group. They look naked without the roof racks.
But I do want to remove and paint them soon.

I'm also currently looking for a set of rails on the local/near local CL. And an OE roof box if possible. If not I might have to go with a Thule box or something.
