Been wanting roof racks for a long time and now I am going to be hauling a couple 11 ft. kyaks so I think its time to buy...
Been looking at the different options, toyota factory, Yakima, Thule, etc....
And man... for using them only a few times a year, they are pricey!!!
$300 for a kit from a good company like Yakima or Thule... ouch!
In any case, looking at my truck roof, I see that I have the rubber inserts, and was wondering if anyone aside from toyota made a non-drilling mount that would sit in those slots.(see pics)
What is a decent yet still relatively affordable non-drilling method for installing roof racks?
Am I paranoid over nothing with the drilling? I don't mind them being permanent...
