    Good thread. I used Saris roof racks on my old Pontiac and had dents at the pads, so I went with OEM for my truck. Couldn't be happier. I keep them stowed, but they're always available when I haul things that don't fit in the bed. They work very well, especially when I haul my surfboards when on surfari.

    For those with Thule or yak, What is your weight capacity? Was looking at OEM+baja rack, but with 100lb limit isnt that much. Is it worth the chance or denting or messing up your paint for the thule/yak. Was looking at thule+MOAB basket also, how many ppl had problems if any with leaks, dents, or messed up paint with heavy loads? like say a hi lift and a spare tire with some camping gear? Thanks

    For hauling a kayak , loading/unloading etc. I prefer the thule sportster bed rack vs. mounting racks on roof of my truck. That was my plan, until I scored a good deal on a shell with racks already on it. Now all my gear can be locked up in shell. I guess it depends on how long your yak is too. Mine is 15ft , so the shell supports the weight good and easy to slide on the back. goodluck

    OK, check ebay for yakima and thule parts. I,ve save a lot of $$$ buying from ebay and often its new or slightly used. You can go to their websites to see what part # you need for mounting racks.

    Good thread! I need a rack for my surf rods and yak. Can anyone post the specs/parts needed for either of the racks. 2nd Gen, Dbl cab, no OEM.
    I looked at the websites for Thule and yakima but I am not 100% sure what parts I need. Did you guys just call up Cust Services? Planning on buying second hand from ebay to save some cash. Thanks for the help.00
