So i'm thinking of taking the roof rack off...... thoughts?

The #1 use I get out of it is bike carrying. So I won't be removing it until/if I get the rear SA bumper with tire carrier, in which case i'll be getting the Thule Spare Me bike rack. Note that I plan to go this route regardless since its a bit cumbersome getting the bikes [back] on the roof. I say "back" because its not hard... but after a long mtb ride, my arms are jello so lifting the bike isn't my favorite thing!

Other than that, it's come in handy for my OBX trip and a few times carrying some extra cargo that wouldn't fit. BUT, i wouldn't be removing it and losing capability. IF I remove i'll have one of the following:

1) A M100 trailer (or similar)
OR
2) Access to a Suburban (long story, but im working a deal with my old man who needs a new truck, but only for another year or two)

Sanity check please....
