Square bars 52 inch long,lockable by Thule;Volvo labeled gutter mount type gear, rubber parts,locks,plugs,original 3 keys all there.It definitely
WAS the right setup, all original, just as v8 described it. Picked up in Virginia, it ended up on my brick, at first came with a Volvo OE (Thule) luggage carrier type of basket (smaller, later sold for $100)
I added a big flat cargo bag that has wheels & an all-around zip+locks+a cheat idp sticker at front....
then later I hunted down a bigger basket made by Kurt, it came with an extension making it even longer, over 62inches max.. First I polished those aluminium crossbar parts, I painted Volvo logo red, etc... but later decided to dip them in black to match overall trim of the car. The basket is very useful, have been using it on fishing trips, camping, shlepping furniture, even slept on top and it was comfy. Very stable, strong, can load over 200lbs on top, np. I usualy step on it to strap my junky gear down. I found the right Thule plugs for the bars, cleaned, painted and/or dipped all parts, fitted setup with stronger hardware and really enjoying them ever since, they look great (offroad style) and they are all lockable. Basket also locked to crossbars. Jeepers offered me to buy it off the brick. I`m wondering how to sneak some money out to buy a LED spot/fog bar onto basket, above or behind fairing.
to make them go crazy. It doesn`t whistle much at 65, thanks to the Kurt fairing which will have a red prancing moose sticker available from
