Default Some Pics have arrived online

Ok I was able to get some pics put together. and get them posted. I will have more pics to come once I get a chance to take some more. I'll post pics with the rack removed to show the low-pro look as well.

Yakima permanent base rails, with Yakima landing pads and control towers, Yakima cross bars and fairing. took dealer about 3hrs to install and ran the rail perallel with the raised ribes on the roof.
We took 54" rails and cut them to 48" to give me the most spread between the cross bars, this was done because of the curve at the front on the roof goes down to much to go any bigger without having any problem with the rails bending more then they can handle this also allowed me the most spead between the cross bars. which can slide anywhere within the rails.

Was pro installed and has a warrenty as long as I own the truck, against any problems I have. In the years that the've been installing those they've only had a couple that they had to fix. for instance if it was to say leak (very unlikly) and ruined my headliner, they would replace the headliner and fix the leak for free!
I like this deal. and I can carry my gear on the roof up to 160lbs.

Let me know what you think! and I will post more pics!
