okay so i recently got back into mountain biking, and now want a way to bring my bike and a buddy's bike along. for now i just say **** it and fold the rear seats down and throw the bikes in there, but that tangles them up and just turns into a huge ordeal, so does anyone know of a decent roof mounted system for 2 bikes that was designed for the h3? i tried google but i get a bunch of BS "oh this will fit" or "oh it wont fit".

I would stay away from the roof. Either get a tow receiver hitch one, or one that mounts on the spare tire if you don't have a hitch.

Yakima or the OEM gm ones that go on the OEM cross bars ...roof mounts are a hassle, trust me I had em for a while...I would go spare tire mounted

Gobi call Timgco. Strap em down with Safari straps tm. Just covered two sponsors. Have had two up on mine. Although coming back from Moab, my cousin was just about in tears with the snow. Lol. He had to replace bearings

I have a Thule T2 xtr or something like that. It has 2 trays that fold up against the spare when not in use. They fold down horizontal to set bikes on. There's no need to take bike wheels off or anything... I did have to customize it cause it was bought for a hatchback I used to have. There's a piece of 2" square tubing that slides into the hitch. I had to get a longer piece to replace the original otherwise I couldn't fold up the rack cause of the spare. Now it folds up close to the spare and since the extended piece makes the rack stick out further when in use, it allowed me to get another style, that hangs on the spare tire, and hang my daughter's bike on that. I can carry 3 bikes with ease... I'm an avid mountain biker/racer so bike racks were priority number 1 when I hot my h3... I can try and post a pic....

Kinda surprised that Rocky didn't put the bike inside and ride on the roof himself.
