I recently started modifying my 06 DC into an EXPO rig of sorts and just installed a Frontrunner rack on my Snugtop. I hadn't seen these installed this way so I fugured I'd post some pics. I have front and rear CBI bumpers ordered and was told they would be finished this last Wednesday but it seems they are shorthanded as of late. I'll post more pics when I get them finished.

It solid as a rock up there. The dimentions are 48"x60" and with the OEM roof rack on the cab there is just enough room between them for articulation. I'm real happy with it.

It sure does. It looks like you could chase tornadoes in that thing! :lol:

We've been told that before- also "Is that a Hummer?", "That's out of Jurrasic Park!" It definately turns heads.

Both those racks are very heavy-duty looking. What the heck do you haul on them?

Kayaks, canoes, mountain bikes, jerry cans, water containers, tires, etc, etc. If I want to haul anything up there I dont want to have to worry about it!

I finally got some pics. They are driveway shots again- working a lot lately! The bumpers turned out great I think. No issues with the install other than a stripped sway bar bracket bolt. They are bulletproof! Here you go...

Looks amazing! I really like it! Love the way the spare is mounted. Those fog lights look interesting though.

Thanks- I thought about just doing the Satoshi to my '06 grille (probably will anyway) but liked the look of the '11 colormatched grille. The hexagon insert kinda reminds me of the tread on the BFG MT's. It works I think.

that's one of the cleanest and most well setup multi-purpose 05+ trucks i've ever seen. that's exactly what i was going for with my truck. very, very nice job.

I really appreciate that my friend- ours has the same general all purpose look, don't they? I'm a fan of your setup as well!
