Anyone know of a company that makes custom roof racks for the 21+ Tahoes?

Looking for something like this:

I don't think there is anything out there as of right now. I tried looking at all the main brands and they don't have anything for the 2021 Tahoe. But I really hope somebody can prove me wrong.:rolleyes:

I havent seen anything either. We run the factory cross rails and a yakima skybox. I have been looking into fitting a yakima skinny warrior on the side if possible.

Quick note, all of these style racks drill into the roof, Prinsu, Frontrunner (unless they make the towers/clamps/kit), all the super low profile ones drill holes.
You CAN get the Frontrunner universal tracks, drill those into the roof/weather strip and mount, then add the Frontrunner Slimline II PICKUP platform since in the size you want since the pickup platform lit comes with t-slot track leg mounts. The Pickup platform kit does come with tracks you drill into the roof.

This says "no drill" but then the installation says drill, I don't know.

I believe this would work but I've heard Frontrunner customer service is pretty good if you were to call.

Those low pro racks look dope but no way I’d be willing to drill anything into the roof of an $80k rig to mount one
it mounts to the factory mounting points. If anyone is local to Boulder/ Denver area I will give you a great deal on a rack if I can use your vehicle for a few days to test fit.

Its always sunny in Florida for a road trip...one with a light bar would be nice for the AT4 :).

I used the Yakima LockNLoad Platform Rack for Crossbars - Aluminum - 84" Long x 49" Wide.​


Then Fabricated a wind faring out of 1/4" Aluminum. Spray the wind faring with 2k Raptor Bed liner.

@Keller55 That turned out great! Any whistling or significantly increased wind noise at hwy speed? I have a Thule Motion XT XXL mounted on the factory rails and can barely hear it. I believe it’s not as much a function of how aerodynamic the Thule is, rather how amazingly sound insulated they have designed our vehicles to be.

TrueAt1stLight , when I didn't have the wind fairing and just the Platform, it was defintely loud. But once I installed the wind fairing, quiet as if nothing was there. Gas Mileage also increased when I installed the wind fairing.​
