    What sort of system do you have on the cab? The ARB mounts on gutters, correct?

    Right, but if you already had something like Yakima tracks, you might be able to find an adapter to mount a rack designed for gutters. How does the rack mount? What are the dimensions of the rack. Any pics?

    I sold my Yakima Towers... I guess maybe I'll need to buy another set. The rack is 40x49

    Maybe not. How does your rack mount? It might help people help you if they could see a photo of your rack, especially how it mounts to the vehicle. If you don't have one of yours, a stock photo from ARB's website or a pic of someone else's would help.

    Is that 40W x 49L or 40L x 49W?

    Bolt it to the roof and seal the holes up with silicone

    or nutcerts to attach the rack to the roof.

    I used the Yakima plusnuts and top-loader mounts on my Pathfinder for years w/o incident.

    Sample picture of how they work:
