This cannot be true. If you have gutters there should be all kinds of options way better than wooden 2x4s. There's nothing the least bit unusual about gutters.

Your right, but from what I've found online and people I've talked to it would cost a lot to put a newer one on. So I guess I word that wrong. I could use other cross members besides wood (aluminum, steel, etc.). I am still trying to figure out the best option, so all this input really helps.

The wood could be pretty cool though, especially on a 70s beach-going van.
