Yes, I used carriage bolts to slide into the factory roof rails where the old crossbars mounted. I think it gives a cleaner, more low profile look that way (versus mounting to the aluminum crossbars) not to mention stronger. :D

That looks great, I will get some pics of mine posted now that I have a fairing mounted. It quieted down the wind noise a ton, so I am very happy with my rack now.

I got some pretty gnarley wind noise, but i dont think i could make a fairing work with my lights...

U should see my girl's!

Well, since you offered. OK.





I like how its mounted to the grooves. Carriage bolts is a good idea.

As for the fairing and lights, you could always make the fairing flip forward for when you want the lights.

LOL yah right, she would kill me. Maybe this summer I will talk her into some bikini pics next to the rig.

And thats not a bad idea. Wonder how funky the fairing would look in front of the lights tho when Im not using them...

Nice ride man. How long have you been building it?

Nice ride. A rack to put a full size spare is the next thing I'm buying for my ride.

I really havent been doing much. Just stuff here and there for a couple years I guess. I love the idea of a full size spare on the roof basket but there are 2 main reasons I have not personally done it. 1) It would take up most of the room in the basket 2) Serious pain in the ass to get it up and down from there

I like your truck brotha
