Anyone sporting Thule Sidearms on stock 2011-12 Outback weird-ass multidirectional crossbars? Issues? Please and thank you.

Those cross bars blow. I'm not even comfortable putting a ski rack on there - nevermind bike trays.

If you google them (or go to some subaru forums) you'll see reports of people losing kayaks on the highway etc.
tru dat!
some of those OEM bars are sketchy.
i´ve broken a set off a hyundai santa fe, after driving for 20 miles with only one bike on the roof.

Great. So 80+ pounds of DH bikes have to find somewhere else to go.
