More looking. I think I want to put a roof rack on my truck cab. I would need rails that hook to the door jams, no gutter, I think I found a carrier.

I have customers that come through the car wash that have those. I've asked them and they say they are water proof. The only problem I could see would be getting heavy stuff up there. I ain't getting no younger and those things are a long way off the ground. ------------- I have always considered myself to be quite the bullshitter, But ocasionally it is nice to sit back and listen to a true professional......So, Carry on. |

On my truck I would have to stand in the bed, it opens from the back not the side. It only has a 100 pound limit so I should not be a problem. I do have my "Old man Lifty thing" I could use if I had to. ------------- Remember: Four boxes keep us free ,the soap box, the ballot box, the jury box, AND the cartridge box |

Like a rack from the back to over the cab? That makes for a "Work truck" look. A roof rack and carrier can come off in minutes if need be. I'm looking for lockable, water / wind proof out of the cab storage. ------------- Remember: Four boxes keep us free ,the soap box, the ballot box, the jury box, AND the cartridge box |

You might have to be careful of all of those low hanging branches where you hunt coyotes! ------------- Trigger Control is knowing when not to pull it. |

Rooftop carriers reduce gas mileage by around 23%. For example if you normally get 13mpg it would go to 10. A receiver hitch carrier is only a 2% hit in mpg. They are easy to remove and can carry more weight. ------------- Palindrome wannabe |

Go-ddaed That's not accurate in Wyoming. In a normal everyday Wyoming breeze i'm pretty sure it would reduce fuel mileage by at least 75%. ------------- I have always considered myself to be quite the bullshitter, But ocasionally it is nice to sit back and listen to a true professional......So, Carry on. |
