Default Roof rack
I had a roof rack a while ago that was mounded using gutter mounts. The rack wasn't mine it was my uncles so he sold it and I was out of a rack. I got another one but I don't have gutter mounts. Will my stock roof rails be strong enough to hold the rack and some gear.

Order some JCR gutter mounts and call it a day. Worth paying for. I have my rack set up with 3 on each side (overkill) and I have had 400lbs up there with no issues.

Check out my build page. There are a decent amount of pictures on there from before I painted it. Should give you a pretty good idea.

JCR gutter mounts are great. I ordered some for my home fab roof rack.

Get yourself 2 more factory crossrails and that thing won't go anywhere.
