roof rack on double cab?

Sorry for the late reply. Yeah I followed instructions. The fairing does cut out a lot of the wind noise but not all. You get used to it after a while though.

 

I didn't get a PM from you. What would you like to know?

 

Pm was asking if you were selling the Yak rack.... Is that what you meant by if your interested??

 

nice. i wanted to get something like that for when i buy bikes this summer. Did you mount it onto the cross bars because from this angle it doesnt seem like you did. What brand is that

 

Since the OEM rack does not fit on an Access Cab, I've been looking for something like this. I have the Thule system with the tracks on my cap, but nothing on the cab.

Did you install tracks on the cab also? If so, how?

Thanks,

GA

 

do you have to drill to install the oem one?

 

No.

It is mounted onto the cross bar. The brand is Inno. It was the best available at the time. Yakima and Thule's require the round cross bars. Its worked out great actually.

 

Probably not up for sale as of yet. I really like the OEM rack though so I might put mine up for sale! How much did you guys pay that have the OEM rack? Oh and do they make snowboard attachments for them as well or can you put thule or yakima attachments on them?

 

I did, and so not to go off topic in this thread, here's a quick write up of how I did it in a new thread.

Finally said screw it and got some OEM roof racks for my truck. So this means I might be selling my Yakima roof rack here in the near future.

 

Can anyone post their findings as far as added noise when the OEM rack is added. How is it with the rock opened? Stowed? Any whisting at what speed?

 

I have the factory roof rack for my dc. Its nice but not all that sturdy. I carry a 15 aluminum canoe up there and i had to make a 2x4 rack that fits in between the factory one. With the weight on the canoe plus the force of the tie-down straps, it really sags the cross members to the point where they almost touch the roof. I tried to lighten up on the straps but then the canoe shifts around. So a simple ( H ) design made out of 2x4's is my heavy duty racks. I would go with the yakima's if I had a choice and the money.

 

You can deff. hear the difference when the OEM cross memebers are out. I get used to it, but with in a few days I end up putting them back into stowed postion. Pretty much annoying at highway speeds.

 

Has anyone seen anykind of roof rack for an access cab? I know there isn't a OEM one, but any good aftermarket ones?

 

Ummmm, I bet you Yakima or Thule make one for the access cab. Just check out their websites. That's where I bought my Yakima rack.

 

Installed the Lowriders last night and they work great....Before I decided on this system I did some checking and closely examined a buddy's truck (Now written off!) to make sure.The OEM rack's cross bars actually sit off thier cradles just enough for the towers to grab properly.After install last night I grabbed the bars and pushed and pulled so hard that the truck was rockin' and rollin' so I'm very confident my MTB will not pose a problem.....Yakima did not offer a "Factory roof rack" option in their rackfinder but this is tight.Picked up the proper sized fairing (38") today so that will go on tonight.I bought a 44" in NH last weekend but it was too wide to fit between the OEM rails....Anyone need a 44" Yakima fairing NIB?

 

HD,I intentionally drove around with the rack deployed yesterday and the crossbars do rumble....As far as when they are stowed,it's as if they are not even there.

 

I bought mine used for 220 from someone on the forums, but it included a set of snowboard rack that fits 2 boards. And yes they make snowboard racks for our factory racks. They attach to our shape of crossbars.

 

Another option is Yakimas "Mighty mounts" that adapt factory racks to their components.
