This isn't on an overlanding vehicle, but some of you guys may find it useful....
This is a 2010 Hyundai Veracruz (good car). With it's third-row seating, it can comfortable fit seven people with no luggage, or four/five people with luggage. I've got to take seven people on vacation, so that's a problem.
The OEM Hyundai roof rack crossbars are almost $200. No thank you.
This setup was purchased entirely at Home Depot and costs around $50 (you could do it for $40 without painting and depending on your choice of hardware). It consists of a 10-foot piece of UniStrut ($20) cut basically in half and fastened to the main cargo bars with 2.5-inch U-Bolts (pipe clamps, make sure you measure the width and height of your vehicle's main cargo bars to ensure your U-bolts will fit around and stick up above it far enough to accept the hardware). I also installed some 5/16 I-bolts out on the edges to serve as loops for ratchet straps/bungee cords, although the UniStrut has plenty of holes in it and you could probably skip this step if you want. I also used several large washers (15 to 20 cents each) to give the bolts some extra grip, as the UniStrut slots are kind of large.
Last step was to paint it black and wrap a pair of bungee cords around the bars. The bungee cords are necessary to break up the singing noise the wind makes at 40 mph as it whistles through the bars (instead of a roar or whistle, mine sounded like a high-pitch whine... think of people who play water glasses).
For $50 or less, it's on there so tight you can rock the whole car back and forth by the bars. I bought a box of lock washers and didn't even use them. I got this idea on some YouTube videos where guys were using aluminum box tubing. I couldn't get any such tubing at Home Depot, and that's fine because you don't have to drill any holes in the UniStrut.
