Default Have you carried anything on your roof rack yet?

I don't believe I've ever seen a Pilot with anything being carried on the roof rack. Just wanted to see how useful the rack has been/will be for our board members.

Default Yup!

We installed the cross rails and a Yakima "Basket Case" before our recent trip. Then we added a Weather Tech "Rack Sack" and that is where all our non-esentials went. It was so nice traveling without all those extra bags and such on the inside.

No pics yet, but we've loaded up the rack with our skis, a toboggan and our rooftop box. Have the bike racks on the roof right now and plan to load it up again this weekend.

How much does it affect your gas mileage??

Thanks

Are the bikes as much of a hassle to mount on a top carrier as it looks?
