Marc,
I have the Thule 953 bars with 762 gutter mounts.. seem pretty strong. The only downside is they do howl abit at above 50......I haven't tried wrapping them in pipe insulation yet....that worked on another vehicle, maybe???
I got the locking knobs to go with it too......
Regards

I use paddy hopkirk ones designed for a transit mid roof if I remember right, not the nicest looking but they do the job.
The original bars were not long enough, so got a local fabricator to cut some 1" square the right length.
