Anyone install a roof platform (ex. LocknLoad) yet?

[bcopper]

I'd like to install a roof platform, however they I feel it would be floating far too high. If anyone knows of an off-the-shelf solution with a low profile or just has one installed, would you mind sharing a pic?

I currently have Yakima crossbars installed on SXP, but I'd be open to removing them altogether if there was a better option.

Yakima Roof Rack System

FYI Yakima finally has a roof rack fit listed for the Telluride on their website using their RidgeLine system to attach to the side rails. Ridgeclip 37 to adapt to the telluride. Retails for $486-630 plus tax for the whole package depending upon type of crossbar.

Well looks like no one else has... I went ahead and put the Yakima LocknLoad platform on my telluride. Sits higher than I wanted but has grown on me.

What is the size of this lock n load? Can you post pic of a front angle please? Thank you! Have you discovered any lower profile roof bars?

I have not discovered any lower profile bars and have looked quite extensively. However, it's not bad. I have the rail perimeter kit also which I'm going to put on later today most likely. That's definitely going to bump it up quite a bit if I do.

The size is Model K (55" x 49") and is the suggested size by Yakima on their site for compatibility. Honestly, I think it could go one step larger.

And this is what I have been debating to put on.

Update: I did install the perimeter rail kit. I would advise against it unless you want to hear a load whistling noise. I have tried numerous things to quiet it down to no avail. Therefore, only using it when you need it is probably best if you have to have it.

I've been looking at that LockNLoad too, seems like a great platform. Any thoughts after having it for a couple years? I guess the perk of having it mounted that high is no concerns if you have the sunroof. I was trying to see if there was a way to mount it lower but seems like its not possible from what I can see.
