Roof rack help please

Hey guys

I've finally saved enough to get my ARE Z series cap and will be ordering it this week.

I've got a few questions about the roof rack.

1. I'm thinking if I get a roof rack on the canopy, I should also have one on the cab? What do you guys think? (versatility, aesthetics, expandability etc)

2. If I do that, is there a make/model (yakima, Thule etc) that I can match so the hardware and bars etc on the canopy is the same as what's on the cab? (currently have no roof rack on the cab)

Thanks for the help!

 

I'm a big fan of the Prinsu racks. They're fairly common on here, but there's a reason. Quality and aesthetics are second to none.

 

I don't have a rack on my cab, but on my V-series I went with Yakima Skyline towers, Landing Pad 1, and 60" Corebars.

 

Thanks!

Looking at the Prinsu racks, it seems like you can have the identical rack on the cab (attached to factory rails without drilling required) and on the canopy (attaches to Yakima or Thule rails).

That would be exactly what I'm looking for.

Anyone have this set up? Would love to see it installed!

Thanks

 

Truck looks great! Do you know if you can mount the same rack on the cab that you have on the canopy?

 

Yakima website is telling me that the Baseline tower(with the proper clip installed) will fit the cab. These touch the paint, though .. .and do not fully utilize the factory gutters. The look is nearly identical to the Skyline, but you will have to get two different tower systems if you want to use the same cross bars.

 

There's a prinsu forum here under the vendors section, in there there's a BS thread with I would bet many many pictures of all the different ways people have installed the prinsu. Poke around there and it'll most likely have what you're looking for.
