    Hello, I am looking at this roof rack for my 2009 DCSB. Only $260 seems like a steal. Can anyone share any info, good or bad, about this rack? There is only 1 review online and it has both good and bad comments. I really would like to know how it mounts to the roof rails. Do I need to drill? Thank you!Screenshot_20190719-104100_eBay.jpg

    I have a hooke road roof rack and rear bumper. They are both great (especially for the price). You'll need to add some weather stripping to the front of it.

    Thank you, this looks like a deal to me, I don't mind a little tinkering to get it right.

    The only downside is that it does not have the T-track that the prisnu has. Also the numbers on the cut into the side are stupid and serve no purpose.

    Oh and the LED lights are shit. Skip on those and order them separately.

    I saw that. For some reason its MORE expensive to get the rack without the numbers.

    One last thing...google "Hooke Road Discount Code" and you'll get it cheaper on their website than on Amazon.

    I just installed mine. I absolutely love it! I ordered mine from ubox something. I was thinking it was gonna come with the numbers cutout but it didn’t. I didn’t install the lights. Looks cleaner without them.
