Does anybody have a suggestion on where to find the cross bars for a 2008 XTerra OEM roofrack. I bought the X package and it doesn't come with them. Best local price is $105 each. Best internet price is right at $90 each plus shipping. I'll need two. Thanks!

Have you tried looking at any junkyards? If not give it a try here..

Chihuax,
What website did you find the crossbars?

dont have any info on roof racks for xterra, i just wanted to give you a heads up. while loading some luggage on top of my rack i was standing very carefull on top of the xterra on areas that seem to me would have more strenght to hold my weight and it did not hold up. created a small dent on the roof of my x. i am sure you will not be as dumb as i was to stand on the roof. take care

The owners manual states "MAX LOAD-150 lbs"-

--Evenly distributed !!!

Figmo: It was the CourtesyParts.com website. The website said they were out of stock but could have them in a few days. I know they are OEM parts but I still feel they are overpriced. None on EBay either. I appreciate everybody's input.

Thanx Chihuax. I'm in the same boat as you, no crossbars with my new X. I'm want a roof rack for camping crap. I'm leaning toward the load warrior, which needs crossbars; I've read numerous positive threads about it. Any thoughts about options for roof racks?

Great minds think alike. Yakima load warrior in the future for me too. I went to the Yakima and Gobi site to see if they had a basket that attached directly to the side rails on the roof rack. No such luck. If the cross bars don't turn up on Ebay I guess I'll buy a set from Courtesy Parts. Got to buy a tow hitch first though. Good luck in your search!

Check out the Buy/Sell forum here. That's where I got mine, after spending months scowering junk yards to no avail. (had a used 03 X a while back that I bought used and it was missing one).

Might take a while, but if you're not in a hurry it's probably about the cheapest option.

Chihuax and 05_X,
Thanx much, your responsive feedback has been very helpful. I just joined XOC and I've found a wealth of knowledge and modification ideas in the forums.

Instead of going with Nissan crossbars-
Het yourself some Yakima EZ/Low-riders and utilize the Yakima Crossbars.

Same here. I have no luck with the crossbars. I actually just need 1 clamp off a crossbar. (dark grey plastic that clamps into the siderail)

Im still searching....

question: are all Yakima EZ/Lowriders fit on Xterra's or is there a certain model number for it?

Thanks
