This just goes to show the simplicity and ease of install.

I am well aware of the price of steel these days. I also know that they and everyone else who manufactures a product needs and deserves to make a profit. But if you knew what the actual cost of materials were and the simplicity in a lot of the products being made today you would feel the same way. How would I know about the cost of materials and the process of bending, cutting, welding and fabricating? I also do the same, nowhere near the volume as most, but very familiar in the game just the same. I didn’t mean this to be a slam on MBRP alone. It just happens to be where I decided to take a stand on way over priced products being pushed upon us Jeepers. By the way, I went to SEMA this year and looked at their roof rack and liked it very much.
It turns out that no one is aloud on this forum to post negative comments as I did about prices, only positive. Censorship once again. Shame on me for not reading the fine print. Oh well.
You ask if I’m a communist. Well, look around, does anything look familiar to you here regarding such?

That's just sour grapes at it's best. Someone doesn't know how free enterprise works. If the retail price for a product is not supported by the market, it gets corrected, or the product falls out of production and off the market. It's a simple self correcting system. If it turns out that 1000 of these racks sell a month at $1000, there probably won't be any pricing corrections and the manufacturer hit a home run. Alternatively, other manufacturers could come up with copy cat designs to sell at lower prices to help to bring the pricing down. This leaves the complaining poster the awesome opportunity to produce his similar rack at $400. I think it's a fine system, don't you?
What does it look like without the Thule rack on it?

I don't believe this top is able to be used with a soft top.
There are pics in this thread JK Auxiliary Roof Rack by MBRP-Forum Special without the thule rack
