    I have a topper on my truck and am looking to throw a roof rack up but I am stuggling to find the correct mounts to go on the rails that are already in place. Below are pictures of the rails that are on my truck and now im looking for the type of mount that will properly attach to the track. Any help is greatly appreciated. Im a newb when it comes to roof racks.

    It looks like you have this:

    They quit selling the Rapid Tracker Kit new in the post above but you could probably find them used on Ebay or if ORS Racks have them in stock you could go that route. Be sure you get the foot pack and Load bars along with the TK1 kit. They now sell this in the TK1's place:

    You'll also need a pair of these:

    I have the 58" load bars on my camper shell and they seem like the perfect size.

    I have an A.R.E topper that came with their factory rails. I was told they are made by Rhino and are universal.
    I put an awesome Thule rack on her. Here's what I got:
    Thule KIT3101 Fit Kit
    Thule Rapid Podium Foot Pack 460R
    Thule AeroBlade Load Bars ARB53

    Can you post pictures of how the feet fit in the racks?

    The Thule web site seems to be all about SUVs and Car attachments.

    Here are some pix of my Thule Rack. (my first attempt at posting pix so bear with me). However I gotta say I really like the looks of the Prinsu Design Studios Rack that zscott posted. Wish I'd have known about that earlier.
