Double cab roof rack mounts

New to these trucks, have tried searching, but am apparently webtarded. bring up a lot of " I got mine" and "Oh thats cool " very few of actual install and or hole location.

finding that 2nd gen DC trucks may or may not have existing holes in the roof for a roof rack, is this correct ?

I'm not scared to peel the strips, just haven't had the chance yet, I've had this thing for all of 4 weeks and other things have been more pressing.

 

All the trucks have the holes available for roof racks.

 

Just the double cabs

 

Well he did say 2nd gen DC trucks in the OP

 

So the pics of other than factory racks mounted do have 5 existing threaded holes in the roof per side ?

cool, something to ponder.

Thanks

 

Every 2nd gen DC has the holes in the roof. They're under some painted foam tape, which is under the black strips. I installed a used OEM rack a few months back and the bolts went right in once I cut the tape away.

Just make sure if you're installing an OEM rack that the mastic washers sit well, otherwise you'll have leaks. I ended up replacing them with neoprene washers from Home Depot, as the old ones were MIA after previous owner lost them.

 

5 Holes pre-drilled per side.

I've got a FrontRunner Vehicle Outfitters on mine.

 

OEM rack, I think it's mainly for looks, haven't really seen anyone mount stuff on it, but it doesn't feel strong enough to handle a lot of weight.

 

It isn't

 

i don't get bored looking at this truck.....

 

Nice stance? Is that just larger tires on no lift? What are the specs? And where do you get that TRD grille emblem from?

 

Thanks.

265/70/17s, Spidertrax wheel spacers, with no lift.

As for the emblem, I got it on Amazon for about $8

Awesome! Thanks bud.

 

Dropitmore: what size wheel spacers? I'm torn between 1.25" and 1.5". Any thoughts?

 

I'm running 1.25", it's just subtle enough, but changes the overall look significantly. I love how my stance turned out. Depending on the size lift you have or go with, I would imagine 1.5" would be overkill.
