I've posted this before, but I've got a set of  4 Yakima  1A towers with
the extenders brand new in a box I'd sell for $120.  I think they are
substantially more than that from the dealers.  Would ship them free to
the lower 48. also have several of the Yakima add on rain gutters if
anyone is wanting to go that route with their westy roofs.  PMail
please.  I also have a pair of extenders for someone out there that has
the 1A towers already.  Can't seem to find the other pair though.  Also
a few kayak support structures like the Bowdown, Landshark, HullRasier
and Hull Raiser Aero and a used set of the TLC's missing one rubber
pad.  Would need to harge shipping for the larger items however.
