    Just wanted to share my roof rack install.

    I prefer the look of a traditional style roof rack with an Aero bar, but didn’t want to do the clamp on style Thule or Yakima recommends for these trucks. I had an adapter machined so I could use a bolt on FitKit onto the factory holes, and then the only modifications I had to do was to the gutter molding.

    Parts used:
    Thule FIT3114
    Thule 460R podium
    Thule WingBar Evo 127
    Custom adapter plate
    M6x1.0x20mm Flat Head screws
    M6x1.0x25mm Socket ahead Cap Screws

    The spacing of the cross bars is pretty narrow - 21” CtC. I’d prefer to have it closer to 30”, but that would put the front bar in the middle of the sunroof (plus require drilling). I may see what it looks like at the other mounting location (just front of the sunroof) but for now this is fine.

    In the near future, I’ll also be installing a similar setup across the bed.
