Default 3rd Cross Rail Rack

I saw a picture of an H3 with three roof rack rails and a Gobi type roof rack, I've been working to get a 3rd rail for mine almost ever since, recently a guy was selling OEM racks from a dealership for $100.00 a pair, so I finally got a set, the nice thing is my 1st set wasn't OEM in fact they were so cheap they didn't even have Hummer on the end caps, I was new to the Hummer thing and bought them on eBay I didn't think twice when the seller purposly didn't include the end caps or keys in his picture, obviously now it was soI wouldn't see the keys weren't hummer, and the end caps didn't have hummer written/engraved on them. At the time I was a little pissed, but now it's actually a good thing, as with the three rail set-up I can have it so the center rail doesn't have Hummer on the end cap which to me looks a little nicer. It may look a little odd now, but when a cargo basket is put on it will look good, and provide better lift when filled with all our camping gear. If anyone knows where the pic is with three rails let me know, i think it was on a tricked out 08 with a wild hood, and gas can on the rear door. It may have been red or orange in color, the main reason I want to see it again is for the roof rack and the tricked out hood, I have an iron worker/blacksmith that will do ornimental iron work and make my rack for or with me. He has done tons of work for my family in the past and he does greta work, he knows I was once a ceritfied welder so he'll let me put my hand in to show him where I want something as a posed to my trying to explain it to him, so being able to see the original pic or some other ideas for racks that may be unique

There is still a green truck with three ancher points, I just couldn't get the pic. But now that I think about it, Gobi has three ancher points behind the sunroof, they might not be OEM rails but they still provide structure as those points on the rack, so i guess the three rails is nothing new after all, it's just an easy way to get extra support

They have that rack for sale. I have though about getting one like it, The Gobi is noce but out of my Price range. Has any one used this rack, and what do you think of it?

I like the black airbreather covers, and blacklines on the hood... of the orange truck. personaly I like when the cargo rack stays behind the roof-line, even better when it stays within the roof rail, if the rack goes from the back of the sunroof to the door, and from the outside rail to outside rail it's still a 66" by 45" basket, that's a lot of basket, with that if a jack, hatchet, or shovel is added to the outside it could stay within the bodyline of the truck and look clean.
