    That's how I did it, very vintage Yakima Side Loaders and 1A towers. I dunno if Yakima still sells these parts since I've had them around forever. If I was buying new I'd probably do the Railriders or similar tracks on top instead but these have been rock solid since 1992 on various junk I've had.

    I had this on the cap that I got off Craigslist for the T100.
    Ref: https://www.tacomaworld.com/threads/western-north-carolina-tacomas.393516/page-11#post-14082707
    There were 2 different rack sets because of the shape of the roof.

    On the inside of the shell I would suggest using the LONG shiny angle iron that has a bunch of holes in it. (or small sections of it) I did this on an old shell and it'll allow you to put bungee chords between them to keep lightweight items up top.
    Just need to use long enough bolts. On the inside I had a big washer and then a nut and then the angle iron and then another nut when I did it.

    Yes, they are universal fit. Just make sure you buy the correct length. Do you have a long bed or a short?

    When you guys drilled into your toppers, what did you do to the screw holes to prevent water from coming in?

    I'm not familiar with that stuff. Does it truly work as an adhesive?
    If I needed to take the rails off in the future would they come off is essentially my question.
