roof rack

I tried every which way possible, and what I have now is a bag of set screws, and assorted caps and plugs. No matter what it looks 1/2 ast. I guess its not bad if your 5'. So then finally I called a truce with the roof rack. I got some paint and painted them to mach the color of the Yukon (Pewter). If we ever get some decent weather in Pittsburgh I'll clean it up and download some pics. Believe it or not it will be 37deg in the AM.

im interested to see what it looks like because thats the point im at...i really want to find an escalade rack and put it on with the end caps painted body color..

just get some set screws and screw them in..the allen wrench head kind..screw them in flush, and paint the left over metal washer type deal body color with touch up paint..all you can do besides welding them up

this is exactly what i was going to say... and did actually...

go get some set screws, i also did a small dalup of silicone and then painted w/ touchup paint.

Looks ok to me, I think I'd rather see a Esky rack then it be bare.

just get a small bottle of the affordable stuff... i picked up 100% clear silicone in the squeeze tube, you really cant go wrong with any of them, just stear clear of the "silcone glue" as it is a bit more hearty and may be hard to get those set screws out if you should ever want that roof rack back on for whatever reason

i agree with you when it has a zero or mild drop.. but not slammed.. when its dropped hard not having racks looks more natural and makes the truck look even lower.. there was another bagged one with eskys at the last show (that we won) and even with the same amount of wheel tucked his truck looked way taller.

that burb looks retarded. I was all for the 'lade racks but not so much anymore. even on the z71 it really doesn't look right. I would like to see jk's with no racks

 

[Nickleahy23]

heres a few of mine..i still need to get the set screws

 

[danimalmax]

I think mob would do a chop top if he could LOL

i was going to do a chop to the windows and replace the whole top with a new frame and do the top in the lexan that you run a current through and it turns black.....
