Khyron is infamous around these parts
How long does it take to put the racks on, and can you do it by yourself without scratching the roof? Thx!!

First time, they'll take you like 15-20 minutes. Nothing complicated at all, and these are the Porsche OEM racks from Suncoast Parts (BEST PRICE AND SERVICE). I ordered them from Ryan Butor over there. Great guy! There are pads under the rack and they fit on those rail lines. Does not touch the roof at all. The 1600XT box is lightweight, about 30 lbs, so if you're careful you could possibly do this yourself. G/L

The rack is OEM Porsche, just go to Suncoast Parts. As for the cargo Box it is the Thule Atlantis 1600XT.

I put my son's Bugaboo stroller in it as well as extra luggage. And when I go to the range, I put my rifles and shotguns strapped down of course. They are with me at all times, never leave my sight for safety and precaution.

Nice!
We had a bugaboo too when my kids were a tad younger. I love that thing other than taking it apart and putting it together every time I wanted to use it. I bet for your needs it fits up there perfectly though.

I'm tempted to get something similar. It looks bad ***!
