    It’s just like drilling anything else. I just installed tracks and a rack on my shell and it was pretty easy. Took me like 3-4 hrs though, not an hour. Most of that time was measuring to make sure tracks were parallel. Harder to do on a curved shell.

    I got a rhino rack rack system for $360 online. Priced out at rack attack for $850 installed. So I saved myself $500 by installing myself. Worth it.
