    Yeah, everything thule I have owned in the past or seen will fit these. Some may require extra parts from thule or some homebrew ingenuity but they will work.

    I have another question (in addition to my height above bedside question that's still outstanding :( )! What's the length of the cross bars?

    47" is the length of the crossbars. I have a measurement at home somewhere of the height you are looking for I will have to get. My shell is on so I can't just pull the measurement off the truck.

    Others will have to confirm that don't have a shell or topper on but a bedrack I designed for a customer that lined up with the cabrac was ~23.5" high. That is from the top of the bed rail caps to the top of the crossbars on the roof rack.

    That sounds right. I was guessing 24" based on where it looked relative to the shark fin in pictures. If nobody chimes in to confirm a measurement in the next week or two I'll just check it myself on the rack I ordered today :)

    You probably need a plate bumper and rear bumper to keep that baby protected when he/she rides in the truck. You need to stay on that train as long as possible!

    Oh, you are creative!
    I never really gave much thought to a roof rack, but I want to put some rotopax fuel and water packs on the outside of my bed rack and now I need to mount a pair of those Maxtrax traction boards and am out of easy access space. A roor rack would be ideal because the boards are light but big. Then the idea of a pelican case for recovery gear was mentioned and that could work out well too, but it migh be tough looking for a small part in the bottom of a case that is up that high...

    Now to justify the $$....

    Anybody mount round lights on a roof rack? I have a pair of Vision-X 50 watt "cannons" that have not been out of the boxes yet...

    Great pics guys. Maybe I should have went with the 40" myself....Guess I will have to compensate by adding some of Heretic's new products they have on the forefront.

    put the 30" on the bumper...put a 40" up top and move the two on your bumper to the back or sides...problem solved :cheers:
