Thanks man! Yep got the rack on Ebay. Was $250, which isn't an amazing deal but other rack mounting options are equally pricey and I think the factory one looks the coolest. If I had a good junk yard nearby that def would have been my play though.

Have you considered just mounting a large Con-Fer type rack on top of the factory rack? I wasn’t too thrilled with the idea of mounting anything attached to the gutters because they’re just screwed on instead of being a welded part of the roof. Something to consider if you plan on carrying any significant amount of weight up there.

Welcome from N. Texas!!!
Your first photo looks like the Lucerne Valley. We lived in Apple Valley from 1988-1991. I just brought a 1991 V-Suburban from San Jose back here to Texas. Goes into paint next week.
