Always remember that your bikes are up there when pulling into the garage! You'd be surprised how many people forget.

Looks good, how did you mount the roof rails?

Installed roof tracks into the roof with 3 self sealing screws in each track. Very easy but required drilling a total of 6 holes for both tracks. Then my yakima control towers fit right in. Very easy to do took about 30-45 mins total.

Looks better that the non functional OEM one IMHO.

I just put some silicone around the holes and have not had any issues. No leaks.

I have been looking for someone who did this setup. I'm considering doing it on my truck as well. If you could answer a few questions it would greatly help my decision...

Did you have to pull the headliner out to mount it?

How did you come up with your spacing (front to back and side to side)?

Do you have any increased air noise / vibration or any loss in MPG?

Are the rails far enough apart to use a yakima fairing?

Thanks a bunch already. The pics look great.
