Hi all, new here.
I just inherited a 2008 MDX (tech/power lift) 203k miles. It was the last new vehicle my late mom purchased. My dad held onto it as a spare vehicle for several years. Original owner, all records, extremely rigorous maintenance.
(I previously owned a 2005 TL, but went on to Volvo P2 T5 wagons)
I travel a ton, work in National Parks in the summer and ski resorts in the winter.
I'd like to put on a Yakima Skybox Pro 12 and a kayak rack. From what I gather, only the Skybox Pro 12 is slim enough to allow a kayak.
The MDX is currently a slicktop. Shall I go with OEM rails? Or Yakima all the way? From what I've read, the OEM crossbars leave much to be desired.
Anyone have any experience?
Thanks,
Tatanka (currently in Wyoming)
