Default Roof Rack

Hello,
Do you guys know how to tell if my 02 QC came with factory roof racks. It doesn't appear to have any, but it does have those longitudinal ribs on the roof. What are those ribs for?

Yup i put one on! It's super easy but I don't think any ever cam with a room rack. Those ribs are probably just because of the shared sheet metal between the dakota and durango.

Thank you. Yeah, I think those ribs are more structural because all the trucks have them. I was just curious if they served another purpose. Thank you guys!

haha oh yeah. I decided to go to a junk yard a get a used head popped it on and it runs like a champ again. The check engin light came on for a dirty cat but I'm 99% sure thats because it ran with 2 burnt valves for so long.
