    Drill the roof I take it? I'd not want to do that myself personally.

    Yeah, drill into the roof. As long as I seal it I'm not worried. Don't plan on getting rid of the truck anyhow.

    Well it just doesn't seem like a good idea. I know you can seal it and all. But I've read a lot of things about people still having leaks. Why I went the roof rack way. And I just can't imagine it being super clean in the cab. Not without it being a pain in the ass.

    But that's just me.

    a member on here makes mounts that you drill underneath the weatherstripping of your door for the roof light bars.
