Was thinking of getting a roof rack, but after looking @ $300 Chinese Empi chit & $400 rusty originals (http://www.jonrb.com/emoticons/rant.gif) I was about to give up until Shawn pointed me in a new direction (http://www.jonrb.com/emoticons/teacher.gif) (thanks Dude) (http://www.jonrb.com/emoticons/thumbs.gif)
After some careful sniping on Ebay I scored this setup for a total of $200 including shipping. Way bigger that the OE & repo stuff 50"x40"x7" & holds 200 lbs. Plus I have yet to see anyone run modern rack system on their Bug, so I'm still outside of the box. (http://www.jonrb.com/emoticons/wtf.gif) (http://www.jonrb.com/emoticons/rotate.gif)
Hey maybe I'll get some camping equipment to put in there (http://www.jonrb.com/emoticons/nervous.gif)

Was thinking of some type of box to carry in rack that will hold bungies cords & stuff. Scored this ammo box on Ebay for $10 (http://www.jonrb.com/emoticons/biggrin.gif)

Yeah, I'm seriously considering it. Just got to get my hands on some cash so I can get the tent & bed that I want.(http://www.jonrb.com/emoticons/idea.gif)

Nah, does'nt have to be a 4 poster but it has to be at least a queen size with 600 tread count sheets (http://www.jonrb.com/emoticons/hehe.gif)

Tread or thread, either way that was pretty funny.
Tent people are way cooler anyway.....
