Just look at all the other roof racks in the fab section. A few cross bars going forward and side to side will do fine.


Just one question, do you plan on carrying really tall stuff up there? Just wondering why the sides are so tall.

Im just wondering why everyone puts in the high school part. Do they just wanna brag about having more time, not being tied down, and not being beat down by life?
