These are the proper width for the Ex, and run $89 MSRP.

A bit pricey for the complete system, but bolt-on without having to improvise or make anything is worth something to some people. With some shopping around and coupons, one could knock the price down quite a bit.

I picked up some control towers the landing pads and 44" bars for 150 on craigslist. I'm thinking I may go with the rhino rack stuff because of their weight rating of 250 versus 165 for Yakima. If you are going with Yakima you can forego the bars and buy 1" steel aluminum or chrome moly and coat it with a bedliner and it'll work with the Yakima stuff. Once I get going on mine I'll post pics. Chrome moly is really appealing for strength and weight. Steel super cheap. Aluminum would be good but I can't weld aluminum.
