Roof Rack Cross Bars?

[fowlken8]

Hello. I'm in need of some new cross bars. I see cheaper ones on ebay and amazon but was wondering if there were aftermarket ones as well; yakima, thule?

Is there a specific size or keyword we should use to find any that work for our vehicles?

I used the cheap eBay ones for a few years until I got a Gobi. They are fine for light duty use.

I have the aftermarket on mine. No idea of brand (nothing marked), and no idea if they are as strong as the stock, as I've never had stock nor had the chance to compare side by side. They've held up well for me, hauling small/medium amounts of lumber. I didn't even realize they weren't stock until I started reading about people looking for OEM keys, and noticing that my keys weren't the "numbered" keys that everyone looks for.
