Crossbar options
Per the advice of this forum, I took off the factory roof rack.
With snowboard season upon us and with a badass Thule cargo backet with snowboard attachments, I'd like to throw it on the X.
I have crossbars and attachments for a car but obviously they won't fit. I don't need anything cosmic, just something that'll bolt right up to the X and has crossbars to put the basket on.
What options do I have?

Your local bike shop or gear outfitter should carry either Yakima or Thule and they should be able to fit you up just right.
Yak uses a round bar, while Thule uses a rectangular bar. Your Thule basket should accept both round and rect. but check your attachments before your purchase.
From Thule's fit guide (Thule - Thule Racks - Rack Fit Guide) it appears that you need:
430 Tracker II Foot
58" cross bars
and
TK1 adapter to get the feet set correctly.
Direct from Thule's website: $269.85 before shipping.
Enjoy!
