![]() The question is whether the black strip on each side of the roof is hiding any points to attach landing pads from the factory (as many companies seem to do) or if to put anything up there I'll need the gutter less attachment type.Īnother option would be to put rails up there, which I'm OK doing if there are factory attachment points, but anything the requires drilling I'm not going to do quite yet. Right for the roof of the truck I'm thinking the appropriate Yakima "Core" racks XL (80" wide for two canoes). Different and spacing and rails and I'll be all set to go (the rack is 4' wide, so will fit between the ramboxes when they are open. If the space before and after the ramboxes is big enough I'll make a plate to go under and over it (sandwich the bed) and bolt the "landing pads" on to the truck. My thought is to attach brackets to hold down cross bars that I U bolt to the rack (I have it set up this way now with Yakima control towers so it can go on / off the roof in around a minute). ![]() I have an "expedition" rack that is a wonderful platform for even larger items (dogsled, whatever). For those wondering my plan - there are times when a truck bed is what I need, but a lot of the time it is just a place to keep things out of the weather, particularly larger items (skis, items for tractor or snow grooming equipment that are broken to bring down to the house for repair), and all these will fit under a tonneau cover (usually).
