    I had wanted to get a rifle mount on the ceiling of my DC, but with a sunroof I haven't found one that looked like it would work.

    Then I saw the hooks for hanging clothes/jackets, I have yet to try to take them off to see if I could use the holes to fabricate a mount off of them, has anyone tried this?

    All you have to do to take those off (atleast for a 2nd gen) is to turn them and pull them off. They are mounted to the headliner, not the metal roof, so I wouldn't trust a roughly 8 pound rifle up being up there. I have been thinking about something similar for a while.

    Yeah, I'm not too sure what you could actually attach to behind the headliner that's strong enough to secure a rifle, especially in the case of an accident. I wouldn't want that shit to fly off! You're going to have to get creative, but I'm curious to see where this goes :popcorn:

    You thought about the rear grab handles?
    Santa Cruz might have something that would work with a little tweaking.

    I hadn't considered the grab handles because the headliner from the sunroof comes still blocks it a little, but those spacers look perfect. Do you know who sells that set up?

    THAT is sick! Need one for my rifles and/or 12ga. Of course, gotta be careful in NY with which rifle you decide to leave the house with :jerkoff::frusty:

    Covered in stickers and chrome stick-ons for extra horse torques and foot powers. Icon sticker gets me tons of travel, dozens of milimeters.

    I found out this was a custom made mount using Santa Cruz mount parts. The guy made it for his Silverado.

    I may try to make something custom like this.
