Default roofrack ????s

im looking to make my own like everyone else. lol the only thing im curious is about is the already rack sliders? i guess the two things we have ontop lol.... could that support the weight of a rack? i only play on having 1 maybe 2 31s and a few gas cans.... do you think they will hold up to the weight of it or do i need to attach the rack another way??

I do not know what kind of rack you are going to make, but I am in favor of building right to the roof. When I did mine I wanted to know that if I needed to put something heavy up there it would not be a problem.

You do not have to drill holes. I used the same factory nuts that slide in the channels.
