Mk4 vw

I think I'm going with the ridiculous ebay "jdm" universal fender flares. Saw a youtube video of a nice mk4 jetta lifted they seem to work well with a lifted mk4 and look good for the price. All our local yards got baught out by a large chain and the prices are unreal , it has to be something special for me to even go anymore ☹️

Clean build 👆

Interesting about the rack connection points. I figured they were modular but I haven't dug into them other than removing the cover. They are hard to come across in scrapyards in my area. There are some reseller hawks that hit the yards hard for VW/ Audi parts. I wish I knew how much they were going for when I would see them often ~10 years ago, they are such a well made piece, I would like a second set but not for $300 on ebay.

I get plywood with my harbor freight basket and some ratchet straps. I don't like cranking down on the oem crossbars too much but the basket eats the stress. Only put it on when I'm using it because I wind up getting about 40MPT better mileage with out it.

Worked commercial construction for 25 years , high-rise buildings were always fun jobs ! We could never use any of the "unused" parking garages, always had to park offsight and walk 5 blocks ...I guess we would have ruined them if we parked there 🙃
