You might me able to use these http://www.jcroffroad.com/Merchant2/...ry_Code=XJMISC
and ya that was my first choice, but i built the rack for less than the cost of 6 of those gutter mounts and they dont sit high enough so, im makin my own. im just gonna use some 2" flat bar and bend it at roughly 30 degrees and gusset the backside, then use some channel to sandwich em to the drip rails.
